The comment meant that trump wasn't concerned about Melania's reaction to the Daniels story breaking.

Which means that the reason he was so concerned about the story getting out was a function of his election chances, not his marital stability.

So when Cohen says it was all about the election, the "it" is not the "market" comment. Rather he's referring to what the market comment indicated about the concern over the Daniels story.
