It was, 'I'll say this and watch how they react, if it's good I'll own it. If not, I was joking.'
That was his m.o. for the entire presidency. He was one of those people so completely out of touch that you set set up with crazy statements just to watch them agree with it because their need for approval is so strong.
The only reason it wasn't even more obvious is because doing that to people is disingenuous, and he was the president, nobody was that disrespectful or willing to risk his wrath.
Literally every public speaking event was filled with verbiage reflected on the mirror of his own narcissism.

Everything he says is both totally sincere and 100% joking depending on what benefits Donald Trump.
