Trump interview on fringe network raises AI impersonator speculation

A recent Trump phone interview on the far-right Real America's Voice sounded unnatural, leading to theories it was an AI chatbot or impersonator.
The network's owner has called for an internal investigation to authenticate the voice from the 17-minute interview.
The journalist who conducted the interview insists it was Trump himself and that he arranged it through Trump's staff.
Listeners noticed the voice had an unusual lisp, pitch, and cadence compared to Trump's normal speech patterns.
Use of deepfake audio technology to impersonate public figures raises concerns about disinformation.
