Trump compares bullet that nearly killed him to ‘world’s largest mosquito’ in leaked video of call with RFK Jr.

Former President Donald Trump compared the bullet that nearly took his life to the “world’s largest mosquito” in a leaked phone call with independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
