So "Stuttering" John Melendez, quasi famous for being part of the Howard Stern show in the 90's appears to have made a prank call to President Donald Trump posing as Democratic Senator Robert Melendez of New Jersey.

Amazingly he got through to the president while he was on Air Force One! This sounded like bullshit when I heard about it, but after listening to the audio and reading about it, I think it's legit. Story and audio are below

Some thoughts and questions after hearing the audio:

1. Who the fuck is screening calls for the president? How can some washed up shock jock with a CA phone # pretend to be a NJ Senator and get a direct line to the President that quickly?

2. Has Trump ever actually spoken to the actual Senator Robert Melendez (D-NJ)? Does he even know what he sounds like?

3. Trump actually sounds cordial and very diplomatic during the conversation, it make me wonder if there is a side to Trump that we don't get see, one that I think a lot of the American public would like to see.

4. If this is a hoax than shame on me, I've heard some good Trump impersonators but this really sounds like the man himself

A comedian best known for his stints on “The Howard Stern Show” says he was able to reach President Trump aboard Air Force One by impersonating New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez.

“This is how easy it is to infiltrate the administration,” John Melendez, better known as “Stuttering John,” said on his podcast.

The radio personality said he got through by leaving his cellphone number with the White House switchboard and fooling aides — including the president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

“Hi, Bob. How are you? Congratulations on everything, we’re proud of you. Congratulations, you’re doing a great job,” Trump is heard saying to the man he purportedly thought was the New Jersey Democrat.

White House staffers were scrambling to figure out how Melendez was able to get through, a source told Axios.

The White house did not respond to repeated requests for comment.

One source told The Post that White house aides called Menendez’s office Thursday morning and that’s when they learned of the Wednesday night hoax.

Melendez said he was initially unable to get through to the president when he called the White House switchboard and identified himself while recording his podcast Wednesday.

But he later called the switchboard back, pretending to be the senator’s assistant. The operator transferred him to a subordinate who told him Trump was unavailable because he was giving a speech.

Melendez said he gave his cellphone number but it has a Southern California prefix, leading an operator to note the information did not match White House records for Menendez.

Melendez explained the discrepancy by claiming he was on vacation. Several presidential aides, including Kushner, called back before Trump picked up the phone, according to the podcast.

“You went through a tough, tough situation — and I don’t think a very fair situation — but congratulations,” Trump tells “Menendez,” according to the audio.

Menendez was indicted on bribery and corruption charges in 2015, which led to his surrendering his seat as the ranking Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee.

The case ended in a mistrial in November after the jury deadlocked. In January, a federal judge threw out the most serious bribery charge, and a week later, the feds dropped the rest of the charges.

Pretending to be the pol, Melendez asks — because he’s “Hispanic” — what he could tell his constituents about the ongoing topic of immigration roiling the Trump administration.

“So Bob, let me just tell you: I want to be able to take care of the situation every bit as much as anyone else, at the top level. I’d like to do the larger solution rather than the smaller solution; they’re doing them step by step. I think we can do the whole thing,” Trump responds, according to the audio.

“I have a good relationship with the party, you have a good relationship with the party, and I think we could do a real immigration bill. We have to have security at the border, we have to have it. I mean, look, you’ve got 60 percent of the country, they’ve got to have security at the border,” the president continues.

“And that’s a good excuse for the Democrats too, Bob. It’s not like, it’s good for you or good for me, it’s good for both of us … I’m tired of the problem. So Bob, here’s what — let me do this, I’m on Air Force One, uh, I’m just coming back from an amazing rally in North Dakota, actually.”

In his persona as Menendez, the comedian then asks about a replacement for retiring Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy.

A guy in Finland, who was a ship-builder, said that he had Trump over in the early 1990's to look at some yachts that were being made, and that he was the most cordial and polite guy that you could ever meet. So there are definitely two sides to Trump, the private side which people don't necessarily always get to see, if not for prank calls like this.

Trump has said that he enjoys taking calls directly to his phone, without any middle men, so it doesn't surprise me that this could happen.

Most politicians act polite in public, and aggressive in private, with Trump it seems to be the opposite.
 
Trump paid off the mortgage for a guy who stopped and changed a limo tire for him too.

Only hitler would do that.

The limo driver is a lazy ass taking handouts. He should work until he's 70 to pay off his mortgage like every other red blooded American. Trump enables laziness and promotes welfare, you should be ashamed of him.

He only did that because he knew he would be president and when someone called him Hitler he can use that situation in his defense. 9-D chess and all that jazz.

If it was a hoax they would have went way over the top with it. Definitely would have been a slur dropped somewhere.

And Ali G got to troll Trump first.
 
Trump and Stuttering John probably knew each other from Stern show appearances

No, a socialist would have raised taxes on the rest of us and implemented a government program to pay the man's mortgage. The difference between capitalism and socialism isn't the difference between greed and generosity, but the difference between private and public ownership of the means of production.
