A man named John Barron called into C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal” on Friday morning to complain about the Supreme Court’s ruling against President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

Barron was described as a Republican from Virginia, and as he began talking about the “worst decision” the Supreme Court has ever made, his voice sounded a lot like Trump’s. It just so happens that John Barron is also the pseudonym Trump used throughout the ’80s when he wanted to talk to journalists directly ― but instead pretended to be his own spokesperson.

“This is the worst decision you ever have in your life practically,” Barron said on C-SPAN.

He continued: “This is a terrible decision, and you have Hakeem Jeffries, who ... he’s a dope. And you have Chuck Schumer, who can’t cook a cheeseburger. Of course these people are happy. Of course these people are happy. But true Americans will not be happy.”

Greta Brawner, host of “Washington Journal,” cut off Barron and took a call from another viewer.

Barron’s call came during a segment that hears opinions from viewers. Barron voiced his opinion on the Supreme Court’s ruling right after the court ruled in a 6-3 decision that Trump doesn’t have the authority to impose tariffs.

After the Supreme Court’s ruling, Trump’s opinion was similar to Barron’s. During a news conference Friday afternoon, Trump called the court a “disgrace” and said the ruling was an “embarrassment to their families.”

“The Supreme Court’s ruling on tariffs is deeply disappointing, and I’m ashamed of certain members of the court, absolutely ashamed, for not having the courage to do what’s right for our country,” Trump said.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. C-SPAN said the call “was not the president.”

“The call came from a central Virginia phone number and came while the president was in a widely covered, in-person White-House meeting with the governors,” C-SPAN wrote on social media. “Tune into C-SPAN for the actual president at the State of the Union Address on Tuesday night.”

According to the president’s public schedule, Trump’s meeting with the governors started at 9:30 a.m. at the White House. Two of the governors Trump met with began their post-meeting news conference at 11:53 a.m. at the Grand Hyatt in Washington, D.C.

Trump held a “private meeting” beginning at 10:30 a.m., which was closed to the press.

Barron called into C-SPAN at 10:51 a.m.

According to a 2016 Washington Post article, Barron was “Trump’s go-to alias when he was under scrutiny, in need of a tough front man or otherwise wanting to convey a message without attaching his own name to it.”

Barron was quoted several times throughout the 1980s, but in 1990, Trump testified in a lawsuit: “I believe on occasion I used that name.”

Trump also has reportedly used a different pseudonym apart from John Barron. A former People reporter said that in 1991, Trump admitted to her that he pretended to be a spokesperson named John Miller.

“He said that he was sorry that he made the call, that was a joke that went awry,” Sue Carswell said in 2016.
