It's a common tactic on the right. Trump says some nonsense. Then the left makes fun of it for being nonsense. Then the right pretends there is a reasonable explanation besides Trump's mind deteriorating. They use this made up explanation to attack the left's intelligence for not getting the made up explanation. When in fact they are in engaging in bad-faith gas lighting to cover for Trump's incoherence and incompetence.
It would be useful to ask them why they feel the need to make stuff up to cover for Trump's failings. Since the justification they made up isn't real, Trump just rambles incoherently, there is nothing to get. It's summarized by the saying the emperor has no clothes. edit: typo
