a flatterer; a sycophant; someone who only tries to be really nice because they think they are going to get something from it

I've repeatedly said from the beginning, it was a huge tactical error, for Keir Starmer to believe, that being obsequious to Trump, would allow him to develop a special relationship with Trump, which would allow the UK to be in a unique position with Trump.

I've made many poor decisions in life but at least I didn't come up with the idea of introducing an obsequious ship's computer called Slave into Blake's 7 to be played with a Brummie accent.

When you attend the court of King Donald, it’s important to be obsequious. Unfamiliar foreigners in need of pointers can look to the man who is currently the most assiduous non-American flatterer: FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
