This is one of those stories that I have to apply the filter of: STOP GIVING THIS WINDBAG AIR.
He says this shit on purpose to get a rise out of stupid people that hate him. It keeps him in the news in areas he would normally drop to the wayside. Say what you will about his mental acuity or emotional intelligence, the man knows how to stay in the spotlight.
I can't think of a better situation to apply the treehouse of horror/Paul Anka maxim: Just don't look.

Its not like Trump just goes away if you stop paying attention to him.
That worked as a punchline to anthropomorphic ad monsters doing spoofs and goofs in a cartoon. It isn't advice that's neatly transferable to chief executives in positions of immense power and privilege. I can't ignore Donald Trump any more than I can ignore Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg, because I am constantly surrounded by the consequences of their decisions.
