LOL! Sounds legit. As I said on the blog, conservatives are acting like the transcript is Holy Writ, and not just a bunch of notes that can be fabricated to say whatever you'd like them to say.
The copy of the transcript I have goes:
Trump - Hello, hello, President Zelensky? Is this thing working?
Zelensky - Hello, President Trump, this is Volo,I can hear you.
Trump - Volvo? What kinda name is Volvo?
Zelensky - Volo, Volo Zelensky. Thank you for calling.
Trump - OK. So Volvo, you got a problem.
Zelensky - Problem?
Trump - Yeah, you got a lot of corruption.
Zelensky - Oh, sure, but it's better now.
Trump - No, it's not but I can help.
Zelensky - You can help?
Trump - Sure, we always help our friends. And our friends help us. You understand?
Zelensky - You want my help?
Trump - I didn't say that. I said our friends help us. Are you my friend?
Zelensky - Yes, sure, I think so.
Trump - I need you to be sure.
Zelensky - OK, I'm your friend.
Trump - Good. So you got a problem and I got a problem and it's the same problem.
Zelensky - Corruption?
Trump - Yeah, corruption and politics.
Zelensky - Politics?
Trump - We both got politics, right? Elections, investigations...
Zelensky - Are you referring to your political rival, Joe Biden.
Trump - I didn't say that. But you understand. You're my friend.
Zelensky - OK.
Trump - And there'll be something for you, something you'll like a lot.
Zelensky - The defense money, yes, very good.
Trump - I didn't say that. So, goodbye, my friend. I'm glad we had this talk.
Zelensky - I kiss your ring, Godfather.
