A radio shock jock and blogger worked his way through White House phone operators by impersonating a U.S. senator and got hooked up with Donald Trump on Air Force One. They talked immigration and the U.S. Supreme Court vacancy. Really.

The caller was John Melendez, known as Stuttering John.

“Are you ready for the call?” a White House mobile communications officer asked Mr. Melendez before connecting him with Mr. Trump. He was. The question came mere minutes after Mr. Melendez and his producer could be heard on his podcast discussing what they said were the president’s masturbation habits and whether to refill their beers while they waited to be connected to the leader of the free world.

The reality show presidency continues.
