Undated: Donald Trump, an American businessman, politician, and 45th president of the United States, has used several pseudonyms, including "John Barron" (or "John Baron"), "John Miller" and "David Dennison". His practice of sometimes speaking to the media under the guise of a spokesperson has been described as "an open secret" at the Trump Organization and in New York media circles.[1] Some New York editors recalled that "calls from Barron were at points so common that they became a recurring joke on the city desk."[2] A writer for Fortune reported that Trump's father Fred Trump had used the pseudonym Mr. Green in business dealings.[3]

May 10: In the latest chapter from the book of "You Can't Make This-Stuff Up: Election Edition," we are left to ponder the strange case of Donald Trump and his alleged alter egos.
The Washington Post came out with an extensive report Friday, detailing how Trump, back in the 90s, posed as his own PR person when speaking with press. He, according to the report, used the names John Miller and John Barron and talked about a lot of things, including whether or not he was romantically linked to Madonna. Trump denied the story, and the Post is standing by it.
Per usual with Trump, Twitter had fun with it:
And of course, our last question has to be: What will happen next? It seems this presidential campaign magnifies the unbelievable, almost exponentially, just about everyday. What will happen next week?

May 16: Donald Trump’s ‘John Miller’ interview is even crazier than you think

John Miller: Have you met him [Donald Trump]? He’s a good guy and he’s not going to hurt anybody. The one article said he was going to throw her [Marla] out of the apartment is total nonsense. He is going to always treat her well as he treated his wife well. I mean, he paid his wife a great deal of money. He did it in a very bad period of time and, ultimately, that was settled.

May 18: Donald Trump's Long, Strange History of Using Fake Names
All political candidates use some spin to advance their cause. It is now so common that voters come to expect it. As a businessman, Donald Trump long practiced an extreme version of self-promotion he called “truthful hyperbole” to get what he wanted. Now, as he is the presumptive GOP nominee for president, this past is coming back to haunt him.

March 7: The David Dennison Who Shares Donald Trump’s Alias Is Really Confused: 'Who Came Up with My Name?'
https://people.com/politics/real-david-dennison-donald-trump-alias-speaks-out/
March 7: President “David Dennison,” also known as Donald Trump, is facing a lawsuit because he didn’t sign the “hush agreement” that would have kept Stephanie Clifford, also known as porn star “Stormy Daniels,” from talking about their alleged affair over a decade ago.
In the alleged non-disclosure agreement between Trump and Clifford, Trump is referred to throughout as “David Dennison” and Clifford as “Peggy Petterson.” Only in a separate, code-breaking document is Dennison identified as Trump. That part of the document in the court filing Clifford brought forward on Tuesday is blacked out, but Clifford’s attorneys says “David Dennison” refers to Trump.

April 20: President Donald Trump lied his way onto the Forbes list of richest Americans and used a fake persona to do so, according to a former writer for the magazine.
In a piece for The Washington Post, Jonathan Greenberg recounts the difficult task of tallying up the future commander-in-chief’s wealth as he built his New York-area real estate empire.
Trump’s persistence in trying to convince journalists how rich he is has been well documented over the years, but Greenberg’s piece takes it a step further. He asserts that Trump used a fake voice and pseudonym of “John Barron” to convince the magazine that he should be on the Forbes 400 list.

April 23: Trump’s History of Lying, from John Barron to @realDonaldTrump
Back to top
... Trump claimed to be Barron, a fictional official with the Trump Organization, in a phone call with Jonathan Greenberg, a young researcher at Forbes, who was working on the magazine’s annual ranking of the four hundred richest people in America. Two years earlier, Trump had made it onto the Forbes list for the first time, with an estimated fortune of a hundred million dollars. In an effort to get himself moved up, Trump, speaking as Barron, insisted that he was worth at least nine hundred million dollars, and probably much more, because he had recently inherited the bulk of the real-estate fortune of his father, Fred. “Most of the assets have been consolidated to Mr. Trump,” Barron told Greenberg. “You have down Fred Trump . . . but I think you can really use Donald Trump now.”
