He's a master manipulator and he's got advisers around that know things. He's not stupid. So I'm still going to say that he knows he's breaking laws. He's doing the typical narcissist backpedal which is to act like you had no clue what you were doing. He makes his act convincing enough that people are dumb enough to buy it.
Those of us who have dealt with narcissists before, see right through his act.
I'd say the majority of us have dealt with narcissism. I still don't think he's very intelligent. He's manipulative. It's not quite the same thing. I'm not saying he isn't a willful traitor, because he damn well may be. What I'm saying is that I wouldn't at all be surprised to find out he was just blundering through thinking he had a right to pick this side or that to protect his own ego. I wouldn't at all be surprised to learn he had no plan of treason. He just opened his mouth every day and stuck like glue to whatever came out of it.
