His narcissistic personality disorder makes him very susceptible to delusion. He can't accept failure or rejection.

"The Donald" doesn't lose, even when he's already lost. Example: Trump has been impeached twice, but since he wasn't found guilty, even though there was bipartisan support to do so, he sees himself "totally vindicated" of the impeachment. Trump's ego totally erases everything that's happened up to that point, so "The Donald" sees this as a victory. Trump isn't very bright you see.

No admission of defeat is allowed. No negative thinking is allowed. His lifelong pattern has been to spin devastating and embarrassing defeats into "victories." It's a kind of self-brainwashing, so he probably does believe it. On the other hand, his compulsion to exclude from his inner circle anyone who criticizes him or sees things a different way makes me wonder if deep down he can tell the difference between a failure and a success.

Maybe they only read half the book. Finding they were too lazy to finish it would surprise nobody here.
