"the wolf that called the wolves, cried wolf, and called himself savior of the sheep"

“Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain” (Ezekiel 22.27).

​With his typically petulant and irresponsible recklessness, he starts a trade war, costing farmers millions. He uses taxpayers’ dollars to try and buy off the farmers, and ward off any potential apostasy. He then boasts that he has come to the rescue.
 
So, let me be sure I have this straight. The wolf calls wolves to eat the sheep. He then cries wolf and sacrifices a few other sheep to squelch the ravenous attacks. He then calls himself heroic savior of the sheep, though it was he, himself, that endangered them in the first place.
 
O.K. Got it.
 
But the madness does not end there. Oh, no. The victimized sheep buy what ought to be clearly seen as the little man’s cunning absurdity.
 
Maybe the sheep aren’t wicked after all. Maybe they’re just a few brain cells short.

He commandeth you that ye suffer no ravenous wolf to enter among you, that ye may not be destroyed” (Alma 5.60).
