Real America’s Voice aired the interview on Thursday and subsequently tweeted multiple clips with “Trump” on social media, which remain on Real America Voice’s social media accounts as of this writing.

Afterward, host John Solomon insisted the voice was really Trump’s, but that’s a tough sell. At several points, the voice became choppy, suggesting that Solomon and co-host Amanda Head were talking to an AI. More importantly, the voice sounded similar to Trump’s, but not really like Trump’s.

“It’s not AI, it was President Trump,” Solomon told the publication. “You can call the staff and check with them yourself. It was definitely President Trump without any doubt.”

My god, these people are so gullible.

    I’m a little unclear what they’re saying gives it away as being AI? Occasional choppiness?

    The tweet link posted elsewhere in this thread doesn’t give much to go on, but the “choppiness”, while noticeable if I was really looking for it, did not stand out to me. What did stand out to me was the clarity of the audio. Every “on the phone with Trump interview” I’ve heard (which is few, but enough) has had really horrible, standard phone line quality. This had a “computer microphone picking up a computer speaker” quality. Which I suppose lends credence to the theory that they, themselves, are doing the duping, otherwise the faked audio would have come through the phone lines? Probably would have been more believable then, like how grainy pictures of Bigfoot are more believable.
