Arrogant enough. Narcissists project what they are going to do: it is necessary, as an act of clandestine harvesting of consent.
Once a victim 'knows' that something is going to happen, because they have been told, and if they then not prevent said action (which is sometimes very hard), the victim is seen by the narcissist as acquiescent - which to such a sick person, means a carte blanche to go ahead with their stated intention.
Another way to look at it is that narcissists think out loud in order to test their ideas, and if there is no good reason presented at that very moment, then they believe everyone is ok with their proposals, and the narcissist progresses, or levels up.
