Distraction.
He’ll often use contradictory actions/statements to distract from things that are true but politically disadvantageous/unpopular.
For example, he said he’d have an easier time dealing with Canada’s new Liberal PM than the Conservative shitstain running for office.
This is false - he lies about this to help the Conservative and project strength when he knows full well our new guy will mop the floor with him.
In this instance his ties to Putin are unpopular and he’s pulling some real terrible shit to help Putin with Ukraine. So he distracts by saying he’s mad at Putin.
It’s really easy to spot when you look at what he does through the lens of bad wrestling or reality tv story writing.

perhaps, but also i think he truly to his core believes liberals are by definition weak and conservatives are by definition strong, so he thinks he can bully them rather than having to face a “strong” conservative

His body is so fragile his world politics turn around with air pressure changes.

again tariffs? he really thinks that they solve everything, huh? Russia don't care about sanctions, that negatively affects russian citizens, would they care about tariffs, that's a tax 100% paid by american citizens??
