He was definitely not offering it up as a sober policy proposal, but - to my observation - not the same type of delivery as his other flat-on-their-face attempts at humor.
I can't go as far as "hard to tell" though. If it were a joke, I think he would have given some clue that he was telling it in the same vein of ridiculousness as it conveyed to all thinking people around the world. Also, coming directly on the heels of a rather serious (and appropriate) bit of concern for his wife's safety, there was nothing to indicate an instant segue to an entirely different tone of lightness.
