An interview former President Donald Trump said Thursday raised a red flag — as viewers questioned whether the voice heard was actually his or a fake.
The 77-year-old — if that’s him — spoke in an unusual voice and at a higher-than-usual pitch throughout the 17-minute phone interview with Real America’s Voice hosts John Solomon and Amanda Head.
“Sounds like ChatGOP to me,” Robert Sigg, president of Performance One Media, which owns the right-leaning network, told the Daily Beast when asked about the strange interview.
Sigg added that “an internal investigation will be required” to find out whether the network was tricked by fraudsters or artificial intelligence.
Solomon, however, insisted to the Daily Beast that it was the real Trump online.
The Trump campaign did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.

Real America’s Voice posted the entire interview and some of its clips on X, formerly known as Twitter, which remained online late Thursday.
“I don’t know who did this interview, but it doesn’t sound like Donald Trump,” Matt Wolking, director of strategic communications for the political action committee Never Back Down, said. tweet after watching a clip.
“This sounds strange,” Matt Whitlock, a former GOP Senate staffer, tweet and offered three possible explanations.

“1) he’s really sick 2) it’s an AI 3) they have staff with the best impression handling this interview,” he speculated.
“Trump either has a cool head or someone else replaces him,” conservative commentators Erick Erickson tweeted.
“Trump asked AI to do interviews for him!” another accused.
“The cadence is off, it sounds like AI,” said a user on Rumble, which broadcasts a live stream of the show, saying the same thing.
A voice purporting to be Trump has argued that Democrats are interfering in his 2024 White House bid by targeting him with allegations and lawsuits.
“If I did badly in the election, I wouldn’t have the litigation now,” the voice said. “If I hadn’t contested, I wouldn’t have the litigation now.”
