Correct but I probably wouldn't have felt the need to mention that in this memorial thread.

It's a good clarification. I initially assumed it was the other person.

I thought the same thing as well.

The middle initial being included is often a subtle but pointed hint to that effect.

I wasn’t sure if it was the Trump advisor because I don’t know his middle initial. I hadn’t heard of the writer, so I appreciated the clarification.
