Trump’s voice in a new Fannie Mae ad is generated by artificial intelligence, with his permission
January 18, 2026
What sounds like President Donald Trump narrating a new Fannie Mae ad actually is an AI-cloned voice reading text, according to a disclaimer at the end of the video. The ad comes as the Trump administration is making a big push to make housing affordable and the president plans to talk about housing at his appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this week. First Lady Melania Trump recently employed AI technology firm Eleven Labs to help voice the audio version of her memoir. It’s not known who cloned President Trump’s voice for the Fannie Mae ad.
