fawn

When Trump talks so fawningly about dictators, authoritarians, and autocrats how do you make sense of it relative to that political tradition and style of leadership?

In one meeting, a couple told The Times, Matthews fawned over an 8-week-old Boston terrier.

It’s hard to imagine the last time Trump, who cossets himself with an entourage of fawning sycophants, has been spoken to in that fashion.

People like Vance always punch down and kiss up, which is why he's always fawning over Trump, a man he once privately compared to Hitler.

The Republican nominee filled the rest of his post with tedious name calling — “Crooked,” “Marxist” — and attacks on the insufficiently fawning journalists of ABC.
