what you believe that trump believes? that's some mighty fine hedging.
i am willing to concede i dont know what trump believes, other than what may be reliably inferred from psychological profiling.
(e.g., overconfidence in his intellect)
so let's propose there is some 'belief', but track it with something more concrete having thousands of examples over decades :
what he says-> what he does-> what actually results what he says is often contradictory, sometimes within minutes.
what he does seems to have rather weak correlation. it seems much of time nothing happens.
what actually results also seems weak, given the amount of spin always required.
there is no doubt trump performs under emotion, but that is too unreliable to accord any stable belief.
so for the highest confidence, i have to go with personal financial benefit for him or immediate family.
if trump believes there is personal financial benefit, there are very good odds he MAY say, and certainly act on such. legalities have become an ever decreasing factor. indeed for me, the fact that we are missing some very public transfer of wealth from putin to trump is the most puzzling aspect about the russia situation, although there loads of other documented kompromat issues*. the longest (say-do-result) data series would be on trump's beliefs pertaining to religion and financial decision making.
in the end, what trump believes and what he understands may have the greatest negative correlation.
