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.
