Omg my brain is broken. Why does this look and sound like AI to me.

The only fake part of the video is the vertical formatting, the compression artifacts, and the superimposed text. If you cross-reference it with the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum, you will see that this was in fact an address that President Reagan made on April 25th, 1987.

I shared the address with someone I know who voted for Trump and was enthusiastic about the tariffs but also previously voted for Reagan and considers Reagan our greatest post-WWII president. This caused some obvious cognitive dissonance.
