That must have been how he heard it when his minions explained it to him. Another example of the naked emperor. He doesn't want to let on that he is clueless, so he rambles on hoping we think we are the ones who are clueless.
He must never listen to his own speeches. What a moran.
Edited to say: If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bullshit.
