You need to remember, this is the hyper-literal dismal persona. So pretty much all things will be taken hyper-literally. No context, no reading an entire document. There is one sentence, one sentence only. The read world be damned. I can't imagine living life being so hyper-literal. “Waiter, The sign clearly reads All-You-Can-Eat. How am I supposed to know how much you can eat?”Can you highlight what in the transcript led you to believe this?
The "I would like you to do is a favor" part is close to the top.
The President: I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike... I guess you have one of your wealthy people... The server, they say Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation. I think you're surrounding yourself with some of the same people. I would like to have the Attorney General call you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it. As you saw yesterday, that whole nonsense ended with a very poor performance by a man named Robert Mueller, an incompetent performance, but they say a lot of it started with Ukraine. Whatever you can do, it's very important that you do it if that's possible.

There are three favors, not one.
