Apparently, the Democratic infighting was drawing too much attention away from himself. So he decided to say something stupid to get back in the news cycle. The fact that his comments had no connection to reality is besides the point. The fact that it's a clear racist dog whistle is almost besides the point. The point is, HE's the real contrast to AOC et al. not Pelosi. Now he can lump Pelosi, the Democratic Party and AOC together as un-American (and of course un-white to those who are ready to hear that).
No, what he's trying to do is:
1. Draw attention away from the fact he nominated a pedophile enabler for Sec of Labor. Did you see how nervous trump seemed during his "poor Acosta" press conference on Friday? I'm thinking Acosta might have something on trump vis a vis trump's connection to Epstein and his sex trafficking/child rapist parties. Stay tuned for that!
2. Play to 30% base, ignoring the rest of his constituents.
Conclusion: trump's a piece of ****.
