I honestly have no idea why he gave this speech at all (and particularly on April Fool's day). He said nothing he hadn't already said a thousand times before. What was his goal here?

>> What was his goal here? Simplifying the work for lawyers presenting evidence, at his future trial for war crimes in The Hague. His immunity is only in the face of the US legal system, and the horrors that will be upon us soon, will lead a future US President, to do the decent thing and extradite him. I pitty Pete Hegseth, who will have to share a cell with him.

  Because George Bush is rotting in a prison cell now, isn’t he.

    George Bush probably had sympathy becausde his warw as actually wellplanned and he took the time to build consensus. Trump is actively trying to annoy as many people as possible. (and that's with some British understatement thrown in)

I'd guess to make sure we know his reasoning - as it all makes sense in his own head, from his perspective the problem must just be that the People don't understand. The same effect as why a certain type of criminal will readily confess everything, thinking the police will empathize with them and accept their need to have done it.

The only way to consistently make sense of Trump’s actions is to assume his goal is to destroy the West at the behest of his handlers in Russia, et al. Deny it all you want. Its obvious if you can see past your own views.

  He's a useful idiot rather than a collaborator, tbh. He definitely loves the idea of being a dictator and so he sucks up to real ones.

Does he ever really have a goal beyond self-aggrandizement? Absence of self-control and a bottomless need for attention are his defining character traits; he never shuts up, even when it would be good for him.
