Washington Post updates story on Donald Trump’s alleged use of pseudonyms (by alternate personalities?) to speak about himself in third person.

Let me emphasize that The Washington Post story does not speak in terms of alternate personalities, and does not raise the issue of multiple personality. The article does not make any psychological interpretation of why Trump, or anyone, would talk about himself as though he were someone else.

I am mentioning this story here, because the relationship between pseudonyms and multiple personality has been a recurring issue in regard to novelists, but probably applies to other people as well.
