sport news New York Jets coach Robert Saleh describes 'surreal' phone call with Donald ... trends now
Robert Saleh has revealed how honored he felt after answering the call of former President, Donald Trump.
Following the New York Jets' thrilling 31-30 win over Cleveland in Week 2 of the NFL season, Saleh found his phone ringing with the 45th President on the other line.
'Love him or hate him — and I'm not a politician, I'm a football coach — to get a call from a current or former president is pretty cool,' Saleh said on ESPN Radio New York's, The Michael Kay Show.
Naturally, Saleh did not have the former President's number on-hand, and expected the call was from his team's owner, Woody Johnson, who was in attendance at Trump's North Carolina rally last Friday.
'I thought it was Mr. Johnson, so I picked it up,' he added. 'It was pretty cool, that's something you expect ever to be honest with you.
'It was surprising and 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, I'd have told you to get the hell out of my face, man. You gotta be lying. So, it's pretty surreal.'

'I think the chances of them winning was one one-hundredth of one per cent, and nobody would take the bet.
'They got some kind of fumble, they threw a long pass it was caught, they got to seven... and then they got an onside kick, this took place over like about a minute and a quarter.
