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.
