Do you disagree with what they actually said though?
Maybe everyone focuses on the negatives because we just did 5 straight years where it seems like if given the choice between two outcomes positive and negative, we’re living in the timeline where the negative thing always happens.

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.

I’ve been to Lopburi. It’s a wild place with monkeys literally swinging from the power lines. Imagine being in a place where every squirrel, rat, and pigeon was replaced by a really ill tempered monkey about the size of a large house cat.
