He’s a pathological liar about most things, but especially about deals. I think he thinks it’s a tactic? Like you just have a basic conversation, then come out and say “We came to an agreement where I got everything I want”. I guess he thinks people will be embarrassed or take heat for saying “no we didn’t”?
Incorrect information getting into the media ended East Germany with the fall of the Berlin Wall. It creates problems that I guess he thinks benefit him. Either the other side doesn’t oppose what is said in the media and he gets what he wants, or they concede some of it and move closer to what he wants, or they oppose it and the agreement of the meeting stays the same.
Seems like 2 winning outcomes and 1 neutral outcome to me. What’re the other side gonna do? Throw a tantrum about it and cancel everything that was said? They never do, they always just put it down to how he is and accept it’s part of dealing with him.
Yep. When you lay it out like the above he loses nothing by trying it every time so may as well do it. He will not stop until people employ some tit for tat.

Time for some game theory

Yeah I wasn’t disagreeing. I think you have the right of it.
