@dyckron This REALLy depends on whether world leaders have declared Trump to no longer be cogent and just behave to make him feel comfortable and reduce temper tantrums while serious issues are dealth with people below him who need to convince incoherent Trump to sign thinking it is a deal that agrees with his views.

Note how western leaders seems to have switched how they deal with Trump in unison recently and all seem to treat him as a patient in mental institution now.

@jfmezei @dyckron Yeah, the article demonstrates that #MarkCarney flatters Pres. Trump, sometimes saying things that aren't really true. But it doesn't make the case that the flattery is bad tactics, or suggest a different approach would bring better results.

(Avoiding the flattery might make us Canadians feel better about ourselves, but that shouldn't be the principal goal of our foreign policy.)
