He stated last month, for example, that his urging Russian hackers to find his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton’s emails during the presidential campaign was merely a joke as well.

Other times Trump has used his humor as an excuse not to take him seriously? When he told police officers to be “rough” with criminal suspects, when he challenged then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to an IQ test, and when he said it was “treasonous” for Democrats to not stand and applaud him after his State of the Union address in 2018, according to reporting from CNN.

You don't. Whether or not he was joking is determined solely by the subsequent responses. He himself makes no distinction because he KNOWS no distinction.
