I don’t know that I’d call this an admission as much as just illiteracy.
I find it entirely believable that Trump didn’t understand that the phrase he wrote implied “Russia helping me to get elected” was an event which actually took place, but rather thought that “I had nothing to do with” made the entire following clause implicitly fantastic.
(I mean, they certainly did help him, but given his tenuous grasp of English I wouldn’t count this as evidence to that effect.)
