I doubt he was really joking when he said it.
Not joking......he has NO sense of humor, absolutely none!
Classic narcissist tactic. I know it well from my ex and others from my life.
He was also "joking" when he told the UN that in 2 short years he had done more for America than any other president. Everyone laughed and only then did he claim he was joking. Fox news removed the laughter from the clip and showed it as if it was a truth. Trump is a white supremacist Messiah to many. One old white man claimed Trump was the "last chance for white men." The last chance to do what?
Be in charge...because they have done such a good job so far.......
No he meant to say he was a member of the master race.
