President Donald Trump apparently carried on a lengthy phone conversation from Air Force One with a comedian who said he'd duped the president into believing he was Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.). Comedian John Melendez, a longtime backup for shock jock Howard Stern also known as "Stuttering John," posed as Menendez, a frequent Trump policy critic, in a podcast he posted online Thursday. The White House did not respond to HuffPost's request for comment. The New Jersey senator, meanwhile, issued a statement saying he would appreciate a real conversation with the president.
