I hate to say it, but I think he was trying to say,

"They (Democrats) rigged the (previous) election and (then I was able to run for this term, so) I became president (which means I'm here for this now)."

But who can even tell what he really means at this point? I'm seeing more and more convincing evidence that he did steal this election, so I hope people interpret this the most obvious and more likely truthful way.
