A man named John Barron called into C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal” on Friday morning to complain about the Supreme Court’s ruling against President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
Barron was described as a Republican from Virginia, and as he began talking about the “worst decision” the Supreme Court has ever made, his voice sounded a lot like Trump’s. It just so happens that John Barron is also the pseudonym Trump used throughout the ’80s when he wanted to talk to journalists directly ― but instead pretended to be his own spokesperson.
“This is the worst decision you ever have in your life practically,” Barron said on C-SPAN.
He continued: “This is a terrible decision, and you have Hakeem Jeffries, who ... he’s a dope. And you have Chuck Schumer, who can’t cook a cheeseburger. Of course these people are happy. Of course these people are happy. But true Americans will not be happy.”
. . .
Barron’s call came during a segment that hears opinions from viewers. Barron voiced his opinion on the Supreme Court’s ruling right after the court ruled in a 6-3 decision that Trump doesn’t have the authority to impose tariffs.
