It's like once he opens his mouth and says something, he's going to be committed to that statement to the end and nothing will change his mind. There are some instances where I feel he has to know he's wrong. He never acknowledges that he may be wrong, he assumes he's right.
It's actually quite annoying.

This is quite common in politicians, some of them even consider it a virtue.
It could be related to the coddling of an entire generation, due to the endless praise people are forgetting how to be wrong, how to lose, how to be good sports even when they come up on the short end of the stick.
