Readers of this and the other blogs will have noticed this that crops up a lot:
I find it to be quite creepy. People who refer to themselves in the third person, like Donald Trump does are know as Illeists:
Illeism is the practice of talking about oneself in the third person, rather than the first person. The rhetorical device is often used by politicians to try to give their words an air of objectivity.
The name kind of suggests that they have a problem even before you read the definition.
I don't know if I want to be surrounded by smiling people whether they are Illeists or not.
