Trump's mouth is both like the broken clock analogy and like the proverbial 10,000 monkeys with the typewriter.
He also continuously parrots the last thing he heard.
At that point he was getting presidential briefings and folders of intelligence from the 3 letter agencies when he was visiting other countries, and his top advisers about concerns he should raise with his counterpart.
He just parroted something that put his host down publicly both because it made him look smug, because he's a brute and a sexist and because he didn't like her.
The content may have been true but that's no way to conduct international relations with a close ally.
These concerns are raised in private, unless your intent is to torpedo the alliance - but at the same meeting he told them the us will not come to their aid if Russia attacked, so that's what it was.
