C-SPAN got a call on Sunday that had viewers doing double takes. The caller identified himself as “John Barron” and went off on the Supreme Court’s recent decision striking down President Trump’s tariffs.

For anyone paying attention, the name will ring a bell. John Barron was the alias Trump used in the 1980s and ’90s to plant stories with reporters. And sure enough, the voice sounded very familiar to many watching.

“John in Virginia, Republican, let’s hear from you,” C-SPAN host Greta Brawner said.

“This is John Barron,” the caller began. “Look, this is the worst decision you ever have in your life, practically. And Jack’s gonna agree with me, right? But this is a terrible decision. And you have Hakeem Jeffries, who — he’s a dope! And you’ve have Chuck Schumer, who can’t cook a cheeseburger. Of course these people are happy! Of course these are people happy, but true Americans will not be happy. And you have the woman earlier — I assume she’s a woman, she’s a Democrat — but she’s … devastated by this.”

Brawner cut him off after 32 seconds. But viewers had already noticed.
