I do assume that the most likely choice he ever and always makes is the selfish one.

While that's not an unreasonable assumption, it's also not unreasonable to assume that his associates have advised him that they have created P2025, that they have advised him the contents will provide guidance as he enters his 2nd term.

If he mindlessly nods as he's wolfing down hamberders like Jabba the hut, that's good enough to hang it around his neck, make the media acknowledge it, perhaps make him deny it over and over.
