There's nothing to defend. If this actually worries you, perhaps you're the one who is mentally unwell. Try watching an entire rally rather than a severely and selectively edited one. It might give you a clue as to how he says a lot of stuff, often with humor or sarcasm, and with occasional misspeaks.

This little worry you have is over a typical little piece of fake news. Relax. We are not in danger of being destroyed by Trumpian satire and stream of conscious misspoken words.
