I think it's a form of cognitive dissonance, he thinks he's brilliant beyond measure so how could it possibly be that Boris (and others) didn't recognise this and in the end rejected him entirely?
I've said it before, but I think he wanted to be in total charge of the entire pandemic response, and by extension all the levers of government, and at times he appears to have acted as if this in fact were the case.
Everything that he says is his attempt to reconcile the above with the fact that he didn't get what he wanted. Boris is an idiot with no plan otherwise he would have appointed DC as Lord Protector from the start, Boris left the pandemic reponse in the hands of the useless Hancock because Boris is an idiot, Cummings in his brilliance recoginsed this immediately and began trying to replace him with somebody else for the good of the country.
If only the brilliant DC had been in charge the borders would've been closed in January and the virus would never have got into the country, we'd have had a stockpile of PPE a mile high, test and trace would've worked perfectly from day one, vaccinations would've started last July, few people would've got the virus, none would've died, England would've put 5 past Italy, every day would be Christmas......................
It's delusional narcissm, he is brilliant, therefore everyone else is useless and incompetent and everything that's happened over the last 18 months can be explained by that.
