Let's be open minded. Undoubtedly it liked what it heard when Trump said "Goodbye".

"Traditionally diplomatic" I take as meaning nothing of substance.
They're not going to slam someone during or right after a call like that.

Zelenskyy is being polite. He's not likely to say he listened to a pack of lies. This is another of the posts that seem determined to run Joe Biden down.

(25,379 posts)6. So Trump and Zelenskyy hold phone call. I have the transcript.
Donald: Hello Vodkamyr! How are you doing? How's the weather in, in, in ...
Volodymyr: In my mobile office?
Donald: Sure! Where's it parked?
Volodymyr: In a forest. Why do you ask?
Donald: Oh, friends are asking, and would love a souvenir from, from, from ...
Volodymyr: Oh, I get it. Yes. From Chernobyl!
Donald: Sounds great. Can you get me the GPS? My phone fell during a, uh, birthday party in PA.
Volodymyr: OK. My assistant will get that for you. I hope your party went well, and many happy returns of the day.

Acting like he represents the U.S. to a foreign power. That's ILLEGAL!

(7,046 posts)8. Zelenskyy just called Biden this past week.
He knows what's at stake. This is meaningless, if its even true. Sorry, I have doubts about anything the media says happened. Unless I saw it, there's a question of its accuracy.

(42,034 posts)9. Zelenskyy is a head of state.
It was the proper thing for him to call Trump.
No one should doubt what Zelenskyy thinks of Trump. But diplomacy is part of the job.
