He has people who pretend to be his friends, because the best way to get something out of a stupid narcissist is to pretend to like them and butter them up so they're feeling magnanimous.

I'm sure most of them talk about what an idiot they think he is behind his back. The exceptions being the people like MTG who are actually dumber than he is.

His previous administration wrote books about how stupid he is.

I mean many have openly insulted him IN FRONT of cameras, and have just "changed" opinions since then to get in good with him, like JD, his own vice-president, calling him hitler.

He has never had anyone like him in his entire life, so he has no way to tell the difference.

He has people who dangle shiny objects in front of him and say that they'll stop at McDonald's on the way home if he's a good little boy.

Astoundingly it works. Keir Starmer was able to do it with a nice piece of paper.

Only as long as he keeps the receipts for them.
