Is Trump's stupidity his best defense in the stolen documents case?

I honestly believe he is too stupid to understand that he did anything wrong. Seriously this is the same dumbass that wanted to launch nuclear missiles at hurricanes to stop them from hitting the US and said soldiers took over airports during the revolutionary war,

Nope. Ignorance of the law is no defense and excuse. That legal principle goes at least as far back as Aristotle. Pleading stupidity is just another form of pleading ignorance.

[quote]In law, ignorantia juris non excusat (Latin for "ignorance of the law excuses not"),[1] or ignorantia legis neminem excusat ("ignorance of law excuses no one"),[2] is a legal principle holding that a person who is unaware of a law may not escape liability for violating that law merely by being unaware of its content.

European-law countries with a tradition of Roman law may also use an expression from Aristotle translated into Latin: nemo censetur ignorare legem ("nobody is thought to be ignorant of the law") or ignorantia iuris nocet ("not knowing the law is harmful").[/quote]
