I think he got "bad news" at the doctor's office which includes an expiration date range with a low-end possibility before 2028. And now he's going down his "bucket list" as fast as he can. The quickness and desperation is what lead me to this conclusion as well. The "insisting" he be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and how his minions acted after he didn't get it was the kicker. He's clearly ill, mentally declining and is afraid of his (lack of a)legacy.
