A leaked phone call between President Donald Trump and presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stirred controversy. The call, accidentally posted online by Kennedy’s son, revealed Trump’s confidence in winning against Biden and touched on various topics, including vaccines.
During the call, Trump expressed his optimism about the upcoming election. “We’re going to win; we’re way ahead of the guy [Biden],” Trump said, to which Kennedy Jr. agreed with a simple “Yeah.” This exchange, first reported by the Daily Mail, underscores Trump’s belief in his strong lead over the incumbent.
Trump also recounted a recent conversation with Biden, where he interpreted Biden’s query about his head movement during a shooting incident as a question about his political stance. Trump humorously described how he turned his head to show Biden a chart about immigration. “I just turned my head to show the chart and something wrapped me. It sounded like a giant … like the world’s largest mosquito. … What do they call that? An AR-15 or something,” Trump recounted, adding a touch of levity to the conversation.
In addition to discussing the election, Trump encouraged Kennedy Jr. to take a strong stance on vaccines. “I would love you to do stuff, and I think it would be so big for you,” Trump said, suggesting that Kennedy’s involvement in vaccine-related issues could be significant.
The leak has led to accusations from Democrats, who claim that Kennedy Jr. is collaborating with Trump. DNC communications adviser Lis Smith accused Kennedy Jr. of being a spoiler candidate backed by MAGA Republicans. “RFK Jr. was recruited to run by MAGA Republicans, his candidacy is funded by MAGA’s biggest donor, and now we learn he’s colluding with MAGA to help Donald Trump win,” Smith said.
Kennedy Jr. apologized for the leaked video, explaining that he was being filmed by an in-house videographer when Trump called. “I should have ordered the videographer to stop recording immediately. I am mortified that this was posted. I apologize to the president,” he stated.
This incident has added another layer of intrigue to the already contentious presidential race, with allegations of collusion and strategic alliances drawing significant attention.
