The call originated from a central Virginia phone number and occurred during a time when Trump was in a publicly documented White House meeting with governors, making it impossible for him to have placed the call.

It's widely regarded as an impersonator or someone mimicking his style, which sparked viral speculation online but has been debunked by the network itself.
