Why does he refer to himself in the 3rd person, including his employment title and his middle initial, are there other Donald Trumps out there we need to not be confused about?
That's what people whose identity is tied up in being famous often do. It means they read a lot of press about themselves, and begin to adopt the language of the people who write and talk about them.

Possibly, although more often than not it’s an attention getting device employed by people, usually males, who are incorrigibly full of themselves.

The fact that they’re full of themselves is a given in any case. The most famous example of the third person self reference was Deion Sanders. He may have all but invented the practice.

You know, it makes sense why Trump went to such lengths to lie about losing the 2020 election. This is a man who you could argue cares about nothing in the world other than people liking him (usually via ratings or crowdsize). I'd imagine there's a childhood trauma behind it... like Rosebud, except instead of a (spoiler alert) sled it's his parents not liking him. Anyway... so then throw in the mother of all popularity/rating contests (a national election) and when he loses in a landslide, it's unfathomable to him.

It's ironic is that somebody who lies with such gay abandon is so wound up by perceived inaccuracies in others.
Apparently, he just came out and said NATO troops avoided the front line in Afghanistan. The same guy who dodged the draft himself. What a prick.

Disgraceful. As posted in the other thread, Blair should immediately resign from Trump’s peace scam.
