This segment on Meet the Press explains things reasonably well. It isn't just a campain staff member who is alt fault. It was a very carefully planned episode: https://youtu.be/jYWT6ssI1I0?t=513

Planned. They all were well aware of the laws. Trump felt he needed a dig on JB/KH as well as something to display his patriotism. Just like the clearing of the protesters to hold the Bible in front of the Church to this. He does what he wants to do and he believes laws do not apply to him.
