Exactly. His premise is that he is always right, and that he has “graciously” allowed time for the ignorant to come around.
It’s the mindset of bully bosses and passive-aggressive coworkers, relatives, or other associates. No such thing as agreeing to disagree, or cooperation on an even level.
It’s power for the sake of power, and he is going to wield it. Comply or fry. A character trait despotic to the core. The malevolence is revealed in his attempt to project ruthlessness as compassion and tolerance.
Arrogant, Malignant Narcissism.
CLASSIC.
