Forced above people he'd always seen as equals in the eyes of the public and everyone else he ever had to interact with? Yes. Had to act like it as well, because every decision he made affected so many people, and he always had to think and weigh every decision he made on the possible outcomes if any little thing went wrong. How he could move himself to try and intercept so others could still move, the game of political chess he had to play and was far better at than some imagined.
The choices he never wanted to make, and had made for him despite arguments, the suffered loses that he could do nothing about and took all of the brunt and blame for anyway. That was part of his position as well, to soak up every bit of blame and ire. Nothing was ever enough for anyone.
He still followed, shrugging past a shotgun blast by ducking down to all fours, sweeping up shards of wood to fling upwards like primitive wooden darts. Still worked for him.
