The Cuban Missile Crisis occurred when Kennedy was President, not Eisenhower. And you really only find that "convince the adversary we're crazy so they're too scared to do anything" strategy in the Nixon administration.

Sorry yeah I don't know why I said Eisenhower.

I stand by the assertion that the US was trying to come off as a little crazy in the Cuban Missile Crisis.
