What would you call someone that describes themselves as both weak and strong?

For example "vote for me and I can definitely protect reproductive rights but actually bureaucracy prevents me from stopping the people trying to knock down reproductive rights."

It's the same thing but with more narcissism. Instead of saying "my opponents are too weak to fix this" they're saying "I'm the only one strong enough to do it." Because they can only think in terms on themselves, and don't want anyone else thinking in terms of other people.
