He wants to be all-powerful and make every decision and have folks FOLLOW HIS ORDERS/DEMANDS.
He refuses to take any responsibility if any of those decisions/orders/demands are disastrous.
Now does that make sense to you? Do you support and will you defend the stable boy asserting his right to control all but only grab the credit never take any responsibility at all if it becomes debit? Can you logically explain to me WHY THAT IS OKAY WITH YOU? Please and thank you.
