It may be less about pride and and more about reputation management. It’s the same reason Trump never admits he’s wrong; it’s simply not strategically beneficial to do so.
- jalapenos 4y agoI'd say Trump is never wrong because he's a fairly overt narcissist, and never being wrong goes with that territory. That may also be why the above figures are like that too.
