An interview reportedly conducted by former President Donald Trump on Thursday is raising red flags as viewers wonder if the voice heard was actually him or a hoax.
The 77-year-old, if it were him, spoke with an unusual lisp and higher-than-usual pitch during the 17-minute phone interview with Real America’s Voice hosts John Solomon and Amanda Head.
“Sounds like ChatGOP to me,” said Robert Sigg, president of Performance One Media, which owns the right-wing network. told the Daily Beast when asked about the bizarre interview.
Sigg added that “an internal investigation will be necessary” to determine if its network was tricked by an impostor or by artificial intelligence.
Solomon, however, insisted to the Daily Beast that it was the real Trump at stake.
The Trump campaign did not respond to the Post’s request for comment.

“1) he’s very sick 2) this is AI 3) they had the employee with the best impression handle this interview,” he speculated.
“Trump either has a cold or someone else replaces him,” conservative commentator Erick Erickson tweeted.
“Trump is having an AI interview him!” another accused.
“His cadence is off, sounds like AI,” a Rumble user, who streamed the show, similarly commented.
The voice purported to be Trump argued that Democrats are interfering with his 2024 White House bid by attacking him with accusations and lawsuits.
“If I was doing poorly in the polls, I wouldn’t have any litigation right now,” the voice said. “If I didn’t run, I wouldn’t have any litigation right now.”
