World leaders have learned how to win the narcissistic Malignant Fascist's favor: by flattery and by gifting him before any business is to be conducted. Russian thug and war criminal Vladimir Putin has been practicing that for years. We know about the unctuous flattery of the MF, but we don't yet know what "gift" Putin has offered the MF in exchange for supporting Russia's goals. Now we see India's right-wing religious demagogue Prime Minister Narendra Modi coming to Washington bearing gifts to appease the MF's transactional appetite, as Reuters reports:
"Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will come bearing gifts when he meets Donald Trump on Thursday, hoping concessions on tariffs, fresh business deals and the prospect of cooperation on China will win the U.S. president's favor.
Trump, not yet one month into his presidency, has wielded the threat of tariffs against friend and foe alike to try to extract new trade deals, investment or law enforcement help.
India may not be an exception: Although Trump had a warm relationship with Modi in his first term, he has called India a 'very big abuser' on trade and his levies on steel and aluminum hit India particularly hard.
Ahead of his White House meeting on Thursday, Modi has readied promises including increased liquefied natural gas, combat vehicle and jet engine purchases, according to Indian government officials who declined to be named." (our emphasis)
Maybe the MF will ask to Modi to give him the Taj Mahal as a present.
Dealing with the MF is a one-way dead end. You'll get what he wants to give you, and he'll take more than you offer him. Modi will find out after it's too late.
