Trump says bullet was like ‘world’s largest mosquito’ in leaked call to Robert F Kennedy
Donald Trump has compared being grazed in the ear by a bullet to being attacked by the “world’s largest mosquito” in a leaked call to his presidential rival, Robert F Kennedy.
Mr Kennedy’s campaign press secretary Stefanie Spear confirmed the two men spoke on Monday “to discuss national unity”.
In leaked footage of the phone call, Trump told the independent candidate for president that he was shot by “a pretty tough gun”.
It followed an attempt on the former president’s life at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday which left him with a bloody ear and killed a spectator.
In an apparent reference to Joe Biden, Trump told Mr Kennedy the president “was very nice” to him on a phone call after the shooting.

How is the reference "apparent "? What's apparent is the Telegraph is just another propaganda rag. $hitheads need to stop editorializing.
Cut the bit where he says about the vaccines i see
This audio is Edited. The 1st part is from 2019 – the small doses Trump was referring to childhood vaccines which Trump admitted (through prior Tweets) that Barron was negatively impacted. Then they merged in the 2nd part about the sh00ting.
The leaker is awful, but RFK shouldn’t have had it on loudspeaker.
Many many people will see this and not trust him now.
Trump sounds wholesome here. Why anyone thought this would hurt him is beyond me. Am I wrong or is there something bad in this call?
🦟
Shame on whoever leaked this private conversation, and Shame on The Telegraph for reporting it especially after what Trump has been through, shows that neither one has any integrity…
it's disgusting to leak a private call
Disgraceful……
I don't believe this, Trump has major people backing him he don't need this guy at all
He sounded like Theodore Roosevelt when he mentioned the gun part
Filming and releasing this conversation says a lot about Kennedy, shows that without his famous name he wouldnt even be a candidate
To the people upset at however leaked this, get a life. This is interesting to see, genuinely. It’s informative, and leaked phone calls with presidents happen all the time. This isn’t the first nor last leak that’ll happen with a president. Give it 30 years and this would have gotten leaked anyways, just appreciate the historical importance here
Wow, RFK secretly recording a call with Trump. What a snake, he cant be trusted. The excuse that his son did it without his knowledge seems like a very convenient and lame excuse.
Good lord, this is just dirty. Can’t trust anyone
I don’t care how Trump described the hit and sound, I care what he said Biden told him. That word h choice is very telling.
TRUMP IS A BIG MAN
From this video it is clear that Trump in public and private is the same. he is true
Biden was upset that the bullet missed him for sure
Thumbs down this HIT piece
This feels like a call between a cooky Grandfather and his Grandson 😂 RFK is twice as smart, three times the man, and four times as qualified to be president with one fifth the support he deserves. What a world we live in. Definitely NOT thanks in large part to a corrupted media or corporate capture of our entire political system…Of Course Not 🙄
A leak like that caused the Bill Clinton investigation. No Republicans complained about that.
I have doubts over whether a bullet passed close. An AR15 fires the 5.56, a supersonic bullet that would make a loud "crack" after it passed. Every Marine knows this firsthand.
such a cool piece of future history
Sickening
Trump actually sounds like a normal human in this. Whats the big deal?
Never said any of this to Dead man Biden. He has been dead for 4 years
Unmarked grave look it up his name will be put in when he dies after nov.7
"worlds largest Mosquito' eh? Actually, it would have sounded like a small fire-cracker going off, and the fact that he doesn't know that, tells me he has never had the experience… wow!!! Perhaps this is why RFK. Jr. leaked this…because he knew that anyone who does know, is going to be scratching their heads now… Crazy Times
Kennedy 2024 ✨️🇺🇲✨️
people should wear a ear bandage as solidarity.
