Is “The Forgotten Man” just a political slogan used for many years by both parties, or is it one of Donald J. Trump’s alternate personalities (post 17)?

President Trump has used the phrase “the forgotten man” in his campaign speeches and again, today, in his inaugural. It is usually discussed as an old political slogan (1).

But considering the fact that Trump has put his own name on every building and place that he can—becoming president, he has put his name on the whole country—perhaps he, in his mind, is the forgotten man.

How could this be? He knows that he is well known. But perhaps he has an alternate personality who says to Trump, “You’re famous, but that’s you, not me.” Donald replies, “You’re Trump, too.” But the alternate personality, who has his own identity, does not see himself as Trump, and cannot be convinced.

Well, couldn’t Trump publicize the name of his alternate personality, the way that writers publish books under the name of their alternate personality’s pseudonym? Apparently, this alternate personality does not have a name. Some alternate personalities don’t.
