For those unfamiliar with Trump's negotiating style, it's called ragebait-maxxing, and gamers have been doing it in call of duty lobbies since '07.
You confuse your enemy by screaming profanities at them through the mic until their Mum eventually comes and turns off their Xbox, or they leave the lobby themselves because you've ruined the game.
You win a war not because you are the more rational actor, but because you become so irrational that all third parties in close proximity decide the best strategy is simply to exit the field of battle altogether.
You cannot negotiate with unstable main characters - look at Kim Jong Un. No one even bothers with that guy because his facade is 'batshit crazy Rocketman that starves his own people.'
Trump is taking a leaf out of that playbook and posturing as the modern Oppenheimer / Kim Jung Un the Second....
Why do you think he mentioned that line today about how Kim called Joe Biden mentally retarded? It was a Freudian slip of sorts... He's been thinking about madman Kim.
You don't have to actually destroy anything to spook your enemy, you just have to make people believe you probably will.
Information warfare.
The long-term problem, after he tacos again in about 10 hours, is that no one is coming to turn off the Xbox because no one is incentivised too.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS IMPENDING TACO
