There is a disconnect between his legal situation and his behaviour because he's too way stupid to realise he's screwed.
He did a terrible job of hiding the evidence of his crimes in many cases he straight up boasted about them on Twitter. He's misbehaved towards various judges on a number of occasions and threatened the jury. So not only is he absolutely screwed, he's making the situation worse.
The reason he is still campaigning is because he's really really really really thick. As are his supporters who think he has even a snowball's chance in hell of getting away with this.
It's old really because if he believed it's his own rhetoric, then there's some kind of evil vendetta against him bey the evil left, in which case he should know he's not going to get away. Extreme cognitive dissonance.
Or he's banking on getting re-elected before the case can conclude.
He's used to this, first he does something blatantly illegal, then he makes the case take so long and cost so much that it's not worth pursuing anymore.
I think somewhere in the back of his mind he knows he's screwed from a legal perspective, but he also knows that if he acts like everything's ok he might have a chance to be president again. He might be dumb but he knows the kind of power he has in his hands.
