If words alone don't get them dancing to the exact tune you intended - throw a few momentary glances of pity at them, make certain they clearly see you but in the same second look away - like you are tying to hide that you pity them and you pity them so much, you just cant help but "see them that way" - apologize profusely - say things like, "I'm sure when you were younger" and "you have to be realistic" - "Can't have your hand in everything" - etc.
When they agree just go off about how much they don't have to do the thing, they dont owe you anything and have proven themselves already and dont need to again, blah, blah, blah (they soak this part up, so drag out the praise) on their way out - tell them how ashamed you are for being so incapable compared to them, tell them how much of an inspiration they are to you and how glad you are to know them, bc really - only they can save you.
999 times out a 1000 - the above bs will work like a charm.
I dont actually think DJT would be the above "hard" to manipulate - Bibi likely made several passing comments and then outright begged him - which I think literally happened bc Trump said he "practically had to beg Israel to help" - so I'm pretty sure thats exactly what happened reversely. It was likely very theatrical.
This war is Bibis wet dream fantasy made real by a narcissist with an immense amount of actual power. Nobody would have to beg him, he has been begging for this since the 90s.
In fact, it may even be possible for this to be more in line with the vision of people who did not vote for Trump than the people who voted for him.
If you look at presidents historically, there are some occasions where the vision they described during the campaign to get votes is not in fact the vision they bring about while governing.
Also - what is your presumption of what my vision of the USA might be?
