No, a concession can be withdrawn (I think BOTH Bush and Gore conceded at different times in the confusion in 2000) which it's why it's even more ridiculous that he won't do it - he could concede and still have recounts go ahead. The man simply isn't capable of admitting fair defeat.

I think multiple people who have been around him (including Clinton) - in competition, be that business, politics or golf, Trump has only two mindsets for the outcome. Either he wins, or the winner cheated.
