“I’m concerned,” Greene told Jones. “And he said it jokingly. But at the same time, knowing President Trump, I looked at that, and I thought, I don’t know if he’s saying it, joking.”

Trump does not possess a sense of humor. If he's laughing when he says something be still 100% means it. His supporters will always claim whatever he said was a joke because they still don't understand just how demented be really is.

"I was just joking" is a common trope for narcissists. If he's saying something outrageous, it's a trial balloon for doing it.

It's the basic excuse of every bully, along with "Cantcha take a joke?"
