The John Miller Tape meme stems from a 1991 audio recording where Donald Trump allegedly posed as a publicist named 'John Miller' to brag about his own accomplishments and romantic life to reporters. The tape resurfaced during the 2016 presidential campaign, becoming an instant internet sensation for its sheer audacity and the transparent nature of the disguise. In meme culture, it is used to satirize people who try to boost their own reputation by pretending to be someone else or to highlight moments of obvious self-promotion. Whether it's a burner account on Twitter or a fake review, the John Miller Tape represents the ultimate 'hype man' alter ego.
