Trump calls meetings "successful" all the time. I call a good meeting "productive" "enlightening"

"it went well" or other terms but I don't think I've ever called a meeting "Successful"

If his meetings were successful then there should be quantifiable things to say about it that made it so. negotiations won, etc. instead of just saying successful.

He just needs to say the word over and over again to convince himself, and the rest of us, that he is "successful."
