Anything and everything he says, he believes. At least when he says it he believes. He simply has no clue about what's real or true and what is not.

I agree. I don't think he has the same concept of reality/nonreality as a "normal" person. Reality to him is whatever he wants it to be. Anything that runs counter to what he wants is rejected as being "rigged," "fake news," somebody else's fault, or just the world being against him.

In his mind, he can't make a mistake or do anything wrong, so anyone who says otherwise must be lying, crazy, or biased against him. It must be exhausting to maintain such a distorted view of the world in the face of constant evidence to the contrary, but it's such an ingrained habit with him that I don't think he even knows he's doing it.
