What's the best thing for Trump's ego in this situation?

Trump's ego likes to be stoked. Foreign leaders around the world (and dictators, in particular) quickly figured this out during his term as President, and found they could easily manipulate Trump to do whatever they wanted simply by giving him compliments.

So the question is framed a bit backwards. What is the best thing for Bibi in this situation? That would probably be to have Trump as president again, allowing Bibi to get all sorts of weapons out of Trump simply by feeding him compliments.

So maybe PPhil is right.
