I’ve seen them. At first it took a few minutes to realize it was deep fake but now I spot them pretty fast. He’s not the only one. I’ve seen fake Meirsheimer (sp) videos - though in his case it doesn’t matter) his takes are as wrong as he’s been. I’ve seen fake Elon Musk. I saw fake Thomas Sowell. The other day I saw fake Pat Buchanan! That one was easy to spot in a second, he hasn’t been around much at all in many years. Looked like he did when he was running for president. No way he hasn’t aged a bit since then.
