Trump White House Kills Off Yanny-Laurel Debate With 'Ridiculous' Clip
The “Yanny” vs. “Laurel” debate that’s baffled the internet this week is dead.
Members of President Donald Trump’s administration took time out from making America great again to weigh in on the important question that’s been perplexing people online. Namely, what word is this robotic-sounding voice really saying?

Vice President Mike Pence, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Trump’s special adviser Kellyanne Conway were among those who attempted to answer the question in humorous ways.
Trump himself also chimed in for the clip, which was posted online Thursday:

But it did not go down well with people on Twitter:
Had all this time to create this stupid video but no time to address the issues facing our nation. Ridiculous

That video was almost as white as it was unfunny.

For the record, multiple news outlets have confirmed the voice is actually saying “Laurel.”
