People on top of the hierarchy expect that they will not be held accountable for their actions. People such as Donald Trump. They believe the universe revolves around them.

"Virtually all of Mr. Trump’s falsehoods directly bolstered a powerful
and self-aggrandizing narrative depicting him as a heroic savior for a
nation menaced from every direction. Mike Murphy, a Republican
strategist, described the practice as creating 'an unreality bubble that
he surrounds himself with.'"
