Nah, that’s definitely an impression. It’s a very good one but that’s not Trump, that person didn’t growl enough, they sounded too much like they were having fun, it didn’t feel like their neck meat was weighing down on their mouth movements, there was no weight in their jaw or pressure on their larynx.

Good work, though. I love a good C-SPAN ribbing.

He actually did that. Like 30 years ago. Because he’s a sociopathic child rapist.

obviously someone doing an impression and referencing his old habit of playing 'john barron' to pseudonymously hype himself up given he'd never in a million years watch a low ratings network like CSPAN

but it would be extremely funny if it were true so i'n gonna accept it as canon anyway

The lack of slurred speech seems like a giveaway.

The chances of it being Trump himself are slim, but it was an excellent impression of Trump trying to slightly change his voice.

They lie about reality, so can we.

It was absolutely him.

The main reason I think this is a hoax is that I doubt that Trump even knows what C-SPAN is.

[–] Kirp123@lemmy.world 9 points 4 hours ago

Yeah. I would find it more believable if it was some Fox News show.

i really want this to be real..is there any confirmation of its validity?

[–] hector@lemmy.today 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I highly doubt it honestly. Nobody watches cspan, the president only cares about the cable and network shows that people actually watch, cnn and fox and abc and nbc and the like.

Plus I would say he's got better things to do and other people to do things like that for him, but he is pathetic, and petty, and dumb, so I only have the ratings reason why I don't believe this particular one happened unless he thought cspan was cnn when he had his aides call.

Honestly, I wish Trump watched C-SPAN. At least it's a primary source, as opposed to the blatant propaganda the fucker actually watches.

It's very clearly someone doing an impression.
