Why is he quoting his name?
Because his English skills are poor and he wants to emote it as something he's emphasizing, in a speech, in his signature crazy-old-man fashion.
He's using quotation marks for emphasis I think. It's not uncommon of his generation in my experience.
I think it's a holdover from using typewriters, which didn't really have bold or italic options. You could underline, but it meant going back and typing underscores. Much easier to just add quotes as you type.
Why he feels the need to all-caps emphasize his name is beyond me.
Huh, I don't think I've ever before considered the original purpose of underscores. (I've used typewriters but not much and not for a long time.) Thanks!
Not only has he stabbed Ukraine in the back, but he also stabs us in the eyes continuously with his lack of writing skills.
Because he sold his name a long time ago
I genuinely think he's not referring to himself per se but the sort of radical, idealized leader that he's promoted into the heads of his followers. Trump is a man, and all men have flaws, but "TRUMP" is an idea and faith in ideas need not include flaws.
The royal Trump, if you will
Sounds like some sovcit conspiracy thing
