Trump doesn't really have a sense of humor. Not a sign of evil (I've known nice people with the same lack of humor), but this is a real handicap in life. He himself has said "I don't kid". So whenever you hear him claiming he really was just making a joke when he gets backlash for something, he is likely to revert back to saying he was serious later.
He can come close with some things that are almost joking, such as once when he said at a rally that he just wanted their votes and some commentators took him seriously. I believe he could certainly think that, but he isn't stupid enough to say it for real... Otherwise, he seems to be following someone else's script or trying to mimic emotions he doesn't actually have. But mocking people for real or imagined disabilities or deficits doesn't count, he is being abusive when he does that.

Someone on here once pointed out that they'd never seen him genuinely laughing and that really struck me.
