No, it sounds like normal mandarin to me. What giving it away i actually can't tell
It sounds like a Westerner attempting to speak Mandarin with the tone contours all off. And he speaks with a moderate to thick Southern China accent, like he learnt it in Taiwan, Malaysia or Singapore; you can hear the way he pronounces e.g. qi3 as /ts/ instead of /tɕ/, xiang1 as /s/ instead of /ɕ/ or shi4 as /ɕ/ instead of /ʂ/. And I have met Westerners that speak better than him

My money's on: English script, machine translation, AI voice.
Deepseek can probably write a better script for them if CIA had anyone who knows Chinese.

Just realized that Trump could now deport Biden and Pelosi family with no repercussions.

Trump: even though my good friend Xi Jinping and I have our differences, have tremendous differences, I love how he cleaned house, clean house beautifully and tremendously, with his anti-corruption drive. I’m gonna start doing that here now, and it is going to be simply tremendous.
