There will be no appeasing him, that’s a losing play. Trump is a bottomless pit of greed and narcissism. At best you can temporarily become a useful pawn to him but sooner or later he will turn on you, if for no other reason than he needs a scapegoat for his latest failure.

They shouldn’t do that. It won’t go well for them.

Only thing we can do is do some autarchy and cut our losses

Or the opposite of that is what we should do. Never attempt to appease a facist.
