This morning Trump tweeted that he’s never been able to hear someone’s phone conversation if it wasn’t on speakerphone, even saying he’s tried:
I have been watching people making phone calls my entire life. My hearing is, and has been, great. Never have I been watching a person making a call, which was not on speakerphone, and been able to hear or understand a conversation. I’ve even tried, but to no avail. Try it live!

Trump is referring to David Holmes, who is testifying today regarding things he heard Trump say on a phone call with Sondland that wasn’t on speaker.
Trump says at the end the tweet “Try it live!”, and Chris Cuomo decides to do just that and fails miserably:
Chris Cuomo calls his mom to prove you can hear someone talking on the phone without speakerphone and it was… something.

It didn’t matter if his mom said anything because nobody could hear it! LOL! #FredoFail
