English Translation

He is always throwing his weight around.

Machine translations keep flagging this as “he keeps on going and steers and sets”. I can get that “hålla jämt på” is kind of keeps on/ always. But is “styr och ställer” a phrase that has to be learned as it is? Rather than trying to translate it? confused…
