Trump has been repeating this lie
for months, and it has been widely reported to be untrue. That link is from Vox, because I know you love Vox.
Why do you care so much about his intent here? The man obviously does not care what the truth is, because he has been going out in public and saying ridiculous things for a long time. He has a huge staff that would get him the correct number if he wanted it, or would tell him that he had erred if he wanted to here that. He doesn't. He is a walking, orange, bullshit factory. We all know this. Why is it important to you that reporters assume that he is not lying when he lies every day?

Trump deserves to be treated poorly by the media.

No, we deserve better media. This is ultimately about us, not him.
