The guy has a history of over-the-top hyperbole, but I don't think he's some jedi master of intentionally slipping in coded words when he's riffing like that on the campaign trail.
The whole idea of "coded language" and "dog whistles" seems largely to be an invention of the talking heads so that they can put words into the mouths of people to support their narrative. Apparently secret language known only to the true believers but, conveniently, the talking heads are always well versed and can translate for us.
