Donald Trump has reportedly used a pseudonym, “John Barron,” to call into C-SPAN and express dissatisfaction with a recent Supreme Court ruling. The ruling struck down tariffs imposed by the former president.
The Supreme Court recently ruled that Donald Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs” were illegal.
Shortly after the ruling, a caller identifying himself as “John in Virginia, Republican” called into a C-SPAN show. The caller, speaking in a voice resembling Trump’s, criticized the Supreme Court’s decision and made disparaging remarks about politicians Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer.
“John Barron” is a pseudonym previously used by Donald Trump during the 1980s. Economics analyst Brian Allen noted the similarity between the caller’s voice and Trump’s, and pointed out the use of the pseudonym on social media.
Social media users have reacted to the incident with a mix of amusement and concern, questioning the propriety of a former president allegedly using a fake name to comment on political matters.
