There's nothing illogical about that statement, as it is simply an opinion, which really carries no weight whatsoever.

By using logic to deconstruct it, if Miki does not like him/herself, then Miki is a moron too.

Maybe there's a fallacy called "Silly Assumption" - I don't know.

This would probably be a ad hominem (abusive) fallacy. Or a poisoning the well fallacy.

This is prejudicial language . The proposition is that "Miki is likeable" accompanied by the claim that the "smart thing" is to agree with that (this is the "attach value" part mentioned in the definition).
