Concealed his gaudy confidence in himself

How should I understand "concealed" here as:
"Is there something you're concealing from me?"
Or
"The troops had camouflaged themselves so effectively that the enemy didn't notice them approaching."

What is "veer into" in this context?

It's about Obama

"His calmness and composure could veer into the freakish, and sometimes concealed his gaudy confidence in himself. "

The 'veer into' means that sometimes he could be so calm and composed that it was freakish, and the 'concealed' should be read as 'hidden'. Like the camouflaged example.
