A caller who claimed to be John Barron from Virginia as he spoke to CSPAN after the Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump's tariffs is going viral because the Internet is impressed by the near-perfect impersonation of President Donald Trump. Trump in the 1980s and '90s used the alias John Barron to plant stories with journalists and the Internet had a good time listening to this 'John Barron' all incensed against the Supreme Court ruling.
Soon after the Supreme Court's decision, CSPAN opened its phone lines inviting callers to voice their opinion about the major blow to Trump tariffs. “John in Virginia, Republican, let’s hear from you,” said CSPAN host Greta Brawner before Barron started speaking. And when he started speaking, it was a moment of disbelief as he matched the President's voice almost perfectly.
