re: Tucker nailed it.....Trump is a sucker for false praise and that's what Graham is doing.

If Trump’s so “addicted” to praise or even just a very big fan of it, then it would seem that he’s into the worst possible thing for this supposed needy ego. As much as people try to tear him down, and in the most vicious of ways, he’s at a net loss in the praise area. And it’s really not even close. Way way more insult than praise. I’m not saying he doesn’t have we’ll call it very strong self-esteem and strong ego, but good, I can’t imagine wanting a leader who isn’t extremely sure of himself.

This is why I believe “praise” doesn’t play any serious role in what he does or who he has on his “team” at any given point.
