10. This is exactly what I would have expected of him.

He has a desperate need to believe he is THE most wonderful, fantastic, amazing person to ever walk the earth. He wears his malignant narcissism like a suit of armor that protects him from ever having to confront unpleasant truths like those boos.

I'm sure he was aware of the boos, but admitting that to himself, much less to reporters, is absolutely out of the question, just like admitting that he actually lost the 2020 election. So yes, he's definitely delusional. On some level he does know the truth, but acknowledging it is not something he's capable of doing.
