he tried to disguise himself with when, for unclear reasons, he didn't want to promote, lie and brag about himself under his own name.

"His practice of sometimes speaking to the media under the guise of a spokesperson has been described as "an open secret" at the Trump Organization and in New York media circles. Some New York editors recalled that "calls from (John) Barron were at points so common that they became a recurring joke on the city desk."

He has deteriorated both physically and mentally just since January. It truly does seem time to use the 25th Amendment. I’m not on Twitter, but a hashtag suggesting the 25th would be an appropriate response to Trump’s response to himself.

I am not about to go back through his tweets, but I seem to recall him replying to himself on more than one other occasion. It's a shame it took him exhibiting all these other neurological issues for people to notice.

Really is a great laughing stock as he keeps us entertained all the time with his bizarre nonsense. The best part is he thinks people are laughing with him and doesn’t realize they’re laughing AT him.
Of course being our favourite sociopath,he is oblivious to anything in the sane world.
