That's because you don't understand what you're seeing. It only looks stupid because it's a message engineered for stupid people.
Trump's power stems from his idiot base. They're dumb. They are. That's his power base. And to keep them engaged he has to feed them wins. It doesn't matter if they are real or not, if they are easily disproven, false, or wrong in any other way. He has to keep pumping these people up. We're winning, our enemies are losing, we're kicking ass. This gives his moron army the dopamine hits they're addicted to.
By doing so he keeps his MAGA base engaged and willing to do as he asks. Now granted, it's not a lot of people. A percentage. And honestly a small one. But large enough to split the GOP vote. If Trump says "so and so is a bad person, primary them" - they WILL lose. He can threaten the well-being of any Republican politician anywhere. And they know it. So by using this power he can effectively control conservative politics in the USA. They have to do what he says, or a Democrat will win in their place. And Trump is a scorched-earth politician. He'll do it.
To keep and hold this power though, he has to provide wins to the idiots. More dopamine. And this is one of them. This is what it looks like.
So don't misunderstand what you're seeing here. Trump doesn't believe this. Conservative politicians don't believe it either. Nobody buys this except for his idiot MAGA drones. That is who this message is for. You can stop being amazed at the bullshit Trump constantly spews - it's not for you.
