The problem is that Trump tends to use phrases like this literally. Not saying it’s the case this time, but it’s certainly on brand for him. My initial thought was that he’s advocating for getting rid of missiles and replacing such systems with an actual dome. It’s just so hard to figure out what he means sometimes.
I’m not a native speaker, but would anybody say “build a dome” when talking about setting up missile batteries?
We would. That’s a fairly normal thing to say.

Well Hitler built the Atlantic wall without any real wall.
Because Isreal has a missile defense system called the Iron Dome. So Trump thinks the that all missile defense systems are called domes.
