“Someone calling himself ‘John Barron’ called into CSPAN this weekend” links

“John Barron” called into CSPAN to rant about politics and people obviously believe that this is Donald Trump. He’s used the “John Barron” alias for years. However, I listened to the clip and I’m convinced that this is just some MAGAt doing a Trump impression. [Buzzfeed]

a guy who claimed to be named John Barron and sounded a lot like Trump called into C-SPAN to complain about the Supreme Court's tariff decision and call Hakeem Jeffries "a dope"

(John Barron is a pseudonym Trump has used for himself when talking to journalists)

  1. Teddy says:

    Agree it’s an impression. The voice is too vigorous and the train of thought way too sharp to be the real mush-brain Trump

  2. Jay says:

    I’d heard it reported before that Agent Orange used to routinely give quotes to the New York media as “John Barron” but I somehow hadn’t put it together that he eventually named his son Barron. That’s so strange – he liked the name, I guess.

  3. Auntie Fah says:

    No it was most definitely him. The idiot in chief.

    • HillaryIsAlwaysRight says:

      I agree. He’s been doing this for decades. With his progressing dementia, I guess he’s forgotten that journalists have actually written about him doing this. What a sad timeline we’re in.

  4. Mel says:

    I believe it’s him. He’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer and his need for attention is off the charts.

    I don’t want to see any of those men as James Bond. I think they’re both lacking in the being interesting department.

  5. SIde Eye says:

    He should change it from John Barron to Robber Barron. It’s more fitting.
