    He’s genuinely mentally ill. This is someone in the throes of dementia who doesn’t remember the thing they said 20 minutes ago. He’s flip flopping to extreme for this to be any sort of coherent strategy.

      I think he has dementia and I think that people who “lie for no reason” are specifically lying because they have plenty of reason to obsfucate the truth, which they have a general idea of what they intend but will adjust plans to take advantage of arising circumstances.
