Under what context is him saying he beats a Washington/Lincoln ticket by 40 points reasonable.
From the tiny out of context clip provided he doesn't actually say that though. He says someone told him that, he's not claiming it himself. The entire clip is just him allegedly verbally quoting John McLauchlin. That doesn't prove Trump's crazy, it calls into doubt John McLauchlin's sanity, or McLauchlin was talking about a very specific and unusual hypothetical, or even some stupid statistical anomaly.
Sure the next 30 seconds might insinuate that Trump also believes it, but you can't exactly blame people for being wary of shady edits these days.
