A Trojan Compliment is a nice looking compliment on the surface but whose only aim is to manipulate you.
It's more insidious than a back-handed compliment in the way that you don't really realize it's a critic.
The Trojan Complimenter then waits for you to confess it's not as it looks, or he will "realize" it's not as he thought and pretend to be disappointed and use it to get more concessions from you.
