Aggressive players can be intimidating, but they’re not unbeatable.
Instead of fighting fire with fire, sometimes the best strategy is patience. Let them bluff into you and capitalize when you have strong hands.
Over-aggression often leads to mistakes.
Do you prefer to fight aggressive players or trap them?

It depends, lag vs tag is two totally different dogs.

When an opponent is raising too much I wait for an above average hand and move allin when nobody else is active as well . If they call and beat me so be it . I don't like playing flops vs a maniac when they are doing the raising and betting .

Against aggressive players, stay patient and let them bluff into you. Strong hands gain more value when opponents can’t slow down.

You just have to be patient with such players, let them think that they're pushing you over, you just need to make a big hand once and it's all yours. I enjoy playing against them and I get frustrated when they are moved to another table quickly lol

Definetly trap them, check raise and suddenly going heads up and let the system decide ;)
