Don't over think it...
It was just Trump doing what Trump does - Says shit to get the lowest common denominator of his base fired up against "them," whoever "they" may be at the time. He does this all the time. What shit pots did he stir when he had his last rally in AZ: defended his statements about Charlottesville, threatened a govt shut down if the wall wasn't included in the budget, hinted at pardoning Arpaio, NAFTA withdrawl.
My daughter went to the rally in AL (she's not a fan); her review: He was really hard to comprehend: talked like a 5th grader, jumped around on all kinds of topics, but didn't really say anything.
This is Trump's MO: stir the pot at the rallys by saying all kinds of outrageous things that get his base worked up. Then let it dominate the news cycle for the next couple of weeks while he does (or does not) do other things. It's all a smoke screen. He's been doing this since Day 1. It's classic propaganda.
