What disorder does the person have?

Not a disorder per se. We all have a level of self-interest. Narcissism goes further. It is a choice of the self (ego) before anyone else. The level of validation (ego-stroke) needed to justify this thinking is impossible to rationally maintain. The individual is avoiding an insecurity, or more often an accountability, within the social group. See also the following comment by Freud.

In the course of centuries the naïve self-love of men has had to submit to two major blows at the hands of science. The first was when they learnt that our earth was not the centre of the universe but only a tiny fragment of a cosmic system of scarcely imaginable vastness... the second blow fell when biological research destroyed man's supposedly privileged place in creation and proved his descent from the animal kingdom and his ineradicable animal nature… But human megalomania will have suffered its third and most wounding blow from the psychological research of the present time which seeks to prove to the ego that it is not even master in its own house, but must content itself with scanty information of what is going on unconsciously in its mind. - Sigmund Freud
