Shooters manifesto about the secret service:

This level of incompetence is insane.

Trump:

Well he was pretty incompetent, too, because he got caught.

LOL

I heard that too, and chuckled.

Why chuckle? It’s the world’s biggest moron making anything up at our expense on live tv. It’s the worst possible thing, with the worst possibly price tag being paraded in front of our faces at the worst possible time. I got no chuckle

Because chuckling is free and Trump tacitly agreeing that he's incompetent is funny.

Catastrophizing doesn't help the situation either, at least a chuckle doesn't blow up your own mental health for no reason.

I chuckle because otherwise I’d cry. I feel you.

I think it's pretty funny that he basically said that any competently planned attempt on his life would have been successful as the secret service is so incompetent.

What is funny to me specifically about this is that while intending to undermine him, Trump did the exact opposite.
