In a telephone conversation with independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Donald Trump revealed secrets, including about the assassination attempt and the subsequent conversation with US President Joe Biden.
A video of what was actually a private phone call between Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and US presidential candidate Donald Trump is circulating on Twitter. In it, Trump also describes the moment of the assassination attempt when a bullet misses him: It sounds like “a gigantic… like the biggest mosquito in the world.”
The video begins, however, with Trump speaking skeptically about vaccinations. Trump claims that he has seen too many babies undergo “radical” changes after vaccinations. He does not get more specific and what Trump’s medical expertise consists of remains unclear.
Robert F. Kennedy is a nephew of US President John F. Kennedy, who was shot in Dallas in 1963. Trump’s interlocutor has positioned himself as an anti-vaccination campaigner during the coronavirus pandemic and claimed that the lockdown was intended to wipe out the middle class. That is probably why the two are talking about vaccinations – although Kennedy hardly gets a word in.
Trump is apparently offering the previously independent presidential candidate Kennedy the opportunity to join his team: “It would be so big for you. And we will win.” Kennedy’s spokeswoman, however, has denied that he could drop out of the presidential race.
Donald Trump praises Joe Biden’s call
Trump also speaks surprisingly positively about Joe Biden’s phone call after the attempted assassination: “It was very nice.”

Kennedy deleted the original video from X. Instead, he now writes: “When President Trump called me, I was recording with an internal videographer. I should have ordered the cameraman to stop recording immediately. I am embarrassed that this was published. I apologize to the President.” Copies of the video are still circulating on the Internet.
Trump barely survived the assassination attempt on Saturday; the former president was slightly injured by a bullet in his ear. He was greeted with great cheers at the party convention on Monday and officially nominated as his party’s presidential candidate.
