Trump: Bullet 'sounded like the world's largest mosquito'
In a private phone call with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., former President Donald Trump said the bullet "sounded like the world’s largest mosquito."
RFK Jr.'s son posted on X a video of the call, which was filmed from what looks to be RFK Jr.'s hotel room. RFK Jr. had Trump on speaker phone.
The younger Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy III, removed the post after his father said on X that he was "mortified" it became public.
Trump also told RFK Jr. about the phone call he received from President Joe Biden after Saturday’s assassination attempt.
"It was very nice, actually. He called me, and he said, 'How did you choose to move to the right?' [Inaudible] Everybody’s looking straight on," Trump said. "I said, 'I was just showing a chart.'"
