Not only does this audio tape have the internet divided but also the White House – not that the White House was “united” before the the staffers began arguing over Yanny and Laurel!

White House’s Take On The Yanny vs Laurel Tape be Like…

In what seems like an effort to give Donald Trump and his administration a face lift, the White House came up with a video in which senior officials are seen sharing what they hear when the audio clip is played for them.

Ivanka Trump opens the video with, “So clearly Laurel!”

Widely disliked senior Trump adviser, Kellyanne Conway, Vice President Mike Pence and Director of the National Economic Council, Larry Kudlow also participate in the video.

White House Press Secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, true to her job description found a way to take an unnecessary dig at CNN even in the video when she said, “Clearly you’re getting your information from CNN because that’s fake news. All I hear is Yanny.”

Trump kills the whole debate when he appears in the end exclaiming, “I hear covfefe,” making a reference to the infamous spelling mistake that he made in a tweet last year.

The Video has Received Mixed Reactions

The US and British media have taken strong exception to the video, calling it an irresponsible and callous way to downplay the misleading, fake news that the current White House administration is known to spread.

With no stakes in anything that the video depicts, we, in Pakistan found it hilarious. The fact that an otherwise completely self-obsessed Donald Trump agreed to crack a joke at his own expense was actually quite refreshing.
