I was thinking exactly the same, but it wouldn't be the same, it would need reprogramming and all his contacts, passwords etc. I reckon he has serious OCD and it's a comfort thing.
As for logic, he doesn't do logic, just bullshite, and the phone tapping was just a diversion from Sessions and the Russian story. He doesn't think too far ahead or think things may trip him up because everything he's said or done that has been called out as a lie or he's been caught doing has gone completely unpunished. He got elected despite everything, all the lies, being caught out constantly, the sexism and misogyny, the perverted acts, saying he would feck his own daughter and he would be dating a child in 10 years time, all of it, slagging a gold star family, the Russian connection. He has simply got away with everything, and not only got away with it, was actually rewarded for it, so he clearly think's he's above the law and untouchable, and to be honest, who could blame him really?
