A Republican called into CSPAN. Was it Trump?

[iemanja]

What do you all think. The cadence and word choice is exactly like Trump. It's either him or an impersonator.

1. Did he sound like a total idiot? If so, it was Trump.

[iemanja]

2. Listen to it and see what you think

It's a short audio.

[rso]

3. Call in

I think it was an impersonator, it was funny either way.

[Initech]

4. Well, the ones that still support him are beginning to sound like him, so it's hard to tell.

5. No i don't believe that's Trump

He's a very good impersonator, but not enough raspiness in the voice, and too quick with words.

[iemanja]

7. You're probably right.

[W_HAMILTON]

6. It's someone mocking him.

I believe John Barron was a fake name Trump used in the past to fluff himself up.

[PatSeg]

8. Whoa, that's for real?

That's definitely his voice and his style of speaking, plus John Barron is a fake name he's used before.

[iemanja]

9. Really?

I didn't realize he'd used the name before.

[PatSeg]

15. I think it was back in the 1980s and 1990s

He used to call different media pretending to be a spokesperson for Trump, but everyone knew it was Donald. Such a weird man.

[iemanja]

18. Yes, someone posted a clip of Frontline

that showed just that.

10. Here's more:

[iemanja]

12. Well, if he's done it before

It very well may be him. Thanks for the clip!

11. Why care? (nt)

[canetoad]

13. I listened

And don't think it's him. Probably AI or impersonator.

[iemanja]

14. Check this out

He's done it before. But yeah, it could be an impersonator.

[canetoad]

16. I knew about that

But John Barron Mk. 1 was before AI and voice changers. Many, many people know about this and I think trump is too gaga to remember what he did thirty years ago.

[iemanja]

20. Yeah, turns out you're right

Trump was in the Governors' meeting at the time.

[True Dough]

17. CSPAN says no, it wasn't Trump

CSPAN
@cspan

Because so many of you are talking about Friday’s C-SPAN caller who identified himself as “John Barron,” we want to put this to rest: it was not the president. The call came from a central Virginia phone number and came while the president was in a widely covered, in-person White-House meeting with the governors. Tune into C-SPAN for the actual president at the State of the Union Address on Tuesday night.

19. Aww

Well, it was a good impersonation.

21. Pretty good impersonator.
