Can Newt please stop using the 3rd person. Please. Show some humility and modesty for a few days at least. Keep your ego in check for a few days and don’t squander any potential goodwill.

How would using first person make him sound humble?

Third person is fine.

However, if you want to continue to wring your hands over it, fine.

I don’t see the problem.

Let Newt be Newt.There’s a country to save.

“Can Newt please stop using the 3rd person.”

All of the candidates use the third person. It actually sounds less arrogant than saying “I” all of the time.

Not sure I understand you. Giving thanks to his team is not showing humility? WE I would think pertains to his team.
