from what I heard the offiicial statement is that he was sarcastic ..

imagine that, the president speaking sarcastically/joking in front of millions of viewers that hope for answers and direction, when 50k his citizens have already died of the disease..

in my opinion that's an even worse look than him just being dumb

He wasn't being sarcastic.
But if that is how Trump apologetics perceived it... They will really make up an excuse for anything.

I'll defend him.

Without any medical knowledge, he theoretically co-invented chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Smokers are faring far better than originally thought. The French are giving people nicotene patches but it's more likely that the tar is acting as a filter or nicotene is acting as a disinfectant in the lungs. I think the French are wrong and Trump is right. Extra nicotene in the blood won't do anything but a lung disinfectant will aid against the virus.
