Donald Trump did actually talk to Robert Saleh.
The Jets coach confirmed Monday he received a congratulatory call from the former president after Gang Green’s wild comeback win over the Browns in Week 2.
“Love him or hate him — and I’m not a politician, I’m a football coach — taking a call from a current or former president is pretty cool,” Saleh said during an appearance on ESPN Radio New York’s “The Michael Kay Show.”
“It was surprising. If you would have told 20-year-old me that one day I would get a call from a president of the United States congratulating us on a win as an NFL head coach … it’s pretty surreal.
