I mean in that first-name-celebrity sense, it actually is kind of bombastic, rather than denigrating. Is another read. It still seems weird to me.
The celebrity first-name-ism is sort of an attempt to claim a global fame, as well as a sort of artificial familiarity. I refused to call them "Hillary" or "Bernie" either, they aren't my friends, they are public figures.
It seems notable and weird and interesting to me in this case (as well as distracting as a reader who wasn't expecting it), but I'm not certain or making assumptions about what's behind it, I'm curious.
