Application is then made to a case study of Donald Trump’s US election campaign.Design/methodology/approach In the first of this three-part paper, the fragmented identity theory is examined ontologically to generate a coherent model of multiple identities.Findings A new coherent model of multiple identities is created.Originality/value There is not currently any that has created coherent theory of multiple identities.
