Right-Wing TV Host Insists He Wasn’t Duped By Fake Trump For Nearly 17-Minute Interview
mediaite.com

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 sure he wasn't duped because he was in on it. This was a test run of having a fake "Trump" on friendly far-right media outlets answering scripted questions to keep him in the press and fake Trump, unlike real Trump, can stay on topic and avoid offering further incriminating evidence.

What if Trump dies and they try pawn off his deep fake as him to keep Trump relevant then that fake Trump wins the election. What would happen then?

Then Real America’s Voice should be called out again, not for the host being duped, but for them trying to dupe viewers.

I do realize that it would never happen though, with Fox having been at their schtick for almost 30 years
