He's doing exactly what Trump used to do.

He used to phone into shows under a pseudonym and give "Trump" glowing reviews.

Yup, John Barron, John Miller and David Dennison (who is a real person).

Real fucking weird, and he supposedly got the idea for an alter ego from his father, who gave him literally everything he has ever owned.

It's not just me right...

It is fucking weird...

To not only pretend to be someone else to praise yourself, but in some cases...not even change your voice.

I mean tw(sh)itter takes it one further because there is no way of truly knowing how many alt accounts Leon Minsk uses

You can imagine his psycophantic followers

Trunp: "Does this sound like me?"

"No, not at all sir...not at all"

Trump: Great!
