@thejapantimes@mastodon.social “People like Trump with NPD are never, ever satisfied.
never give an inch. It is impossible to appease the unappeasable. There is no use trying, especially if you have to give up your mores and values to do so.
Leaders will hopefully learn this quickly. They have all bent the knee and kissed the ring. What they don’t realize is the appeasement is always very, very temporary.”
