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

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

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

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

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.

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.
