The call, which lasted just 32 seconds before being cut off, has sparked widespread speculation that the voice on the line was none other than Trump himself, as he infamously used the name “John Barron” as an alias in the 1980s and ’90s.
The Supreme Court ruled that Trump’s emergency tariffs on imported goods were unlawful, though he has already found a workaround by imposing a 15 percent tariff on all nations.
“John Barron,” introduced by CSPAN host Greta Brawner as a Republican caller, immediately launched into a tirade, calling the decision “the worst decision you ever have in your life, practically.”
The caller slammed House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries as “a dope!” and mocked Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, saying he “can’t cook a cheeseburger.”
The frustrated commentator added that “true Americans will not be happy” about the ruling, while Democrats celebrate.
Brawner quickly ended the call with a curt “All right, John.”
“John Barron” just called@CSPANto complain about the Supreme Court nuking Trump’s tariffs.
Yes — that John Barron.The fake name Trump used for decades.
