Saying he won the popular vote but for the illegal votes cast for Hillary serves a purpose. Doubt elections and legitimize more voting restrictions. All people hear is "illegal votes" because of the reasoning behind voter suppression is so that "illegals" can't vote.

This article sheds some light on it.

Creating an alternate political universe requires discipline. It requires the willingness to tell many little lies that add up to one big lie. All these lies need to be internally consistent, mutually reinforcing, and at least superficially plausible.
