Like Putin's voice from Trump's mouth

Dennis Haysbert - Not to be confused with a woman or Vladimir Putin

You know the Allstate series of commercials where two people are talking, then one person shifts into extolling the benefits of Allstate's insurance coverage? In that instant, the person's voice is dubbed by the semi-famous rich bass of Dennis Haysbert. 




I get the same sense every time I hear Donald Trump or someone on his staff talk about Russia. The style, tone, and word choice is jarring compared to what he says about pretty much every other topic.

This is Trump's most recent statement on Russia's hacking and the Obama administration's response:
I think we ought to get on with our lives,” he said. “I think that computers have complicated lives very greatly. The whole age of computer has made it where nobody knows exactly what is going on. We have speed, we have a lot of other things, but I’m not sure we have the kind, the security we need.
Here's his tweet from December 15th on the subject:




Compare to his response to the terror attack in Berlin a few weeks ago:




Or his response to the Chinese government taking a US Navy drone:




Seems like every time the subject of Russia or Vladimir Putin comes up, I hear a different person speaking out of the same mouth.

Odd, isn't it?
