Apparently they just let Trump talk and didn't respond for a full minute and Trump was like "anyway you're the best" and they still didn't respond and Trump's people ended the call.

The astronauts gave him the silent treatment. They could clearly hear him.

I watched it live, they did respond to his direct questions, but at some point Trump went into a monologue that didn't end in a question, and they didn't say anything back, keeping a silence going for an awkward amount of time until Houston asked if they are still on the line and they confirmed that yeah they heard everything. And said nothing else.

Nah other way around. The astronauts asked a NASA administrator if they are still on the line or if there was a handover. Then Tump replied "I am, yes, I am".

Yes they were actually very polite, they knew they were speaking with a demented narcissist.
