After getting impeached over his Zelensky call, Trump thinks that his “perfect” calls with foreign leaders should now be a private affair
was completely “perfect,” even as he clearly asked the Ukrainian leader to do him a “favor” by investigating his political rivals. “That call was perfect, and I say it again, it was perfect. It was totally appropriate,” the president reiterated Thursday in a podcast.
Talking with Rivera Thursday about his supposedly “perfect, appropriate” call with Zelensky, and how Lt. Col.had reported it after listening in, Trump was asked why so many people were allowed to listen in on the president's calls in the first place. “Well that's what they've done over the years when you call a foreign leader, people listen,” Trump told Rivera, noting that sometimes there may be as many as “25 people” listening in to a call.
Trump's desire to keep his conversations with foreign leaders private from now on appears to stem from the president's lingering, who raised concerns about Trump's call both after it happened and in his impeachment testimony.
