That guy that nobody recognises, but who you feel might be sort of important, popped up again yesterday. Speaking at a Republican gubernatorial campaign rally in Georgia, the man talked to the crowd about the celebrity endorsements that Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams had received.

“I heard Oprah [Winfrey] was in town today. And I heard Will Ferrell was going door-to-door the other day. Well I’d like to remind Stacey and Oprah and Will Ferrell — I’m kind of a big deal, too” the man said. The assembled Republicans cheered rapturously, despite their obvious difficulty in putting a name to the face in front of them.

Assorted internet busybodies have been speculating feverishly about the identity of the mystery man. The general consensus seems to be that he works in politics, with many saying they are ‘pretty sure’ that he works closely with Donald Trump. Several pieces of photo evidence do indeed appear to show the man standing in close proximity to the President on different occasions.

Political analysts have speculated that he may have been part of Trump’s 2016 election campaign. However, given his sporadic appearances and vacuous, ineffective speeches, it’s not entirely clear what if any function the man serves in government.
