Trump FAKES NAME To Complain About Tariffs on C-SPAN

He literally reaches new lows every day.

Today, someone named John Barron called into C-SPAN to complain about the Supreme Court’s recent ruling that said his sweeping tariffs were unconstitutional — and he sounded exactly like Donald Trump.

In the call, ‘John’ said SCOTUS striking down the tariffs was the ‘worst decision you’ll ever have in your life, practically,’ called Hakeem Jeffries a ‘dope,’ and said Chuck Schumer ‘can’t cook a cheeseburger.’ Seems like the C-SPAN folks figured out it was Trump too, since they cut him off and moved on to the next caller while he went on a rant on how ‘true Americans’ would be upset by the SCOTUS decision.

In fact, it’s well known that Trump used to use the name ‘John Barron’ as an alias when he spoke with journalists — CNN had previously aired a segment including all the times Trump had used the pseudonym, saying it was ‘such an open secret for so long that it’s hard to believe anyone is still questioning it.’

An audio forensic expert confirmed that in his opinion, ‘John Barron’ was Trump himself — and he’s been doing this since the 1980’s! I guess he thought no one would remember, but not everyone’s memory is as short as his.

Based on the call he made to C-SPAN today, I’m inclined to agree that it was him — I think that was either Trump himself or someone that would make a lot of money doing impressions of him. It’s almost funny, especially thinking about the West Wing episode where President Bartlet called in about the Thanksgiving recipe — but then I remember that this is the real President of the United States trying to anonymously call a news show to rail against a SCOTUS that overwhelmingly leans in his favor. And all that with one of the most recognizable voices in modern American culture with no efforts to conceal it.

I have to wonder if this is how his State of the Union speech will sound. Stay tuned here for updates on that — I’ll be on the ground at the Capitol and I’ll get to hear directly from Members of Congress themselves.
