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.

Trump didn't say anything bad about Biden, actually shows his character in better light.

[jbob]

This reflects badly on RFK. He needs to sack whoever leaked this, assuming he didn't. Else no one will trust him again.

[LloydLaughalot]

His son is a disgrace for leaking this. Why does this serve the public interest? A candid reflection of a man who was almost murdered

[GO-pecp]

How pathetic to leak this. Can't trust anyone.

[xmnfmed]

These people who leaked this are whacked out.

[SkyfromLa]

I don’t trust people who leak phone calls or screenshot text messages just saying

[michalveltrusky]

Trump actually sounds likeable, he even said that Biden was "nice" .

[topcatcoolio]

Who has the right to expose a private phone call ???

[oqdxtvt]

So what's the problem???
I don't hear Trump saying something bad.
He doesn't even talk bad about creepy Joe😅

[Moviemakermatty]

Such a dirty move to try and leak a call to cause drama. Even when he didn’t think he was being recorded, Trump didn’t for one second trash Biden or insult anyone or express anger in any way.

[seinfan]

Headlines tomorrow: "Trump mistakenly believes he was bit by world's largest mosquito"

[paoloadam]

it's very encouraging to hear how Trump is speaking of Biden

[albertweskerk]

Disgusting move to leak this pointless conversation. People can't have privacy anymore. Man up.

[panthersherman]

Granted RFK could speak about this from a personal experience he lost his family members to two assassinations

[la.reaction]

Sharing a private conversation like this is so low …

[milliondogs]

I don't understand why people have such an issue with this being 'leaked'. It doesnt make Trump look bad, or good, in any particluar way

[tb]

There goes RFK Jrs conservative supporters.

[TenTenJ]

Can someone explain to me why it’s bad that anyone heard this conversation?

[kinneyk]

Hearing Trump speak when he thinks nobody is listening gives him a certain appeal for vulnerability

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.
