Donald Trump's publicist from the '90s, John Miller, sure sounds a lot like his boss. In a recording from a 1991 interview with People magazine obtained by The Washington Post, a man who claims to be Trump's media spokesman can be heard answering questions about Trump's love life in a voice that The Washington Post contends sounds suspiciously familiar:

The voice is instantly familiar; the tone, confident, even cocky; the cadence, distinctly Trumpian. The man on the phone vigorously defending Donald Trump says he's a media spokesman named John Miller, but then he says, "I'm sort of new here," and "I'm somebody that he knows and I think somebody that he trusts and likes" and even "I'm going to do this a little, part-time, and then, yeah, go on with my life."

Trump has already denied that the man on the phone is actually him, posing as his own publicist, as he's supposedly done before. "It was not me on the phone," Trump told Today Friday morning, noting that "it doesn't sound anything like me at all."

Just like Trump, however, Miller seems to have an affinity for the word "tremendous," as he notes that Trump is doing "tremendously well financially," and he is similarly immodest talking about Trump's love life. "Actresses," Miller told the reporter, "just call to see if they can go out with him and things." He added that Madonna "wanted to go out with him" and that Trump had "three other girlfriends."
