But there's no 'acting' about it. He is insulting and unstable.

I don't know when it's going to be forced home to him that he's now completely unable to make a deal of any kind. Everything he says is a known lie and he can/will change his mind within days, hours, or minutes. Nobody sent to negotiate for the US can guarantee that TOFU will do anything other than whatever he feels like at the moment. Once everybody knows that, he's done. And everybody knows that.

I believe that behind the scenes at the WH, he's in a complete panic, flailing around trying to find something, anything, he can win at. Maybe the bomb, maybe Cuba, maybe... You can't possibly keep ahead of imagining it, because there's literally no scheme crazy enough that he would rule it out. He's sure that there has to be something that'll bail him out of being the loser that he is.

And there's nothing.
