Donald Trump didn’t seem too thrilled when a mosquito interrupted his discussion about President Joe Biden’s now-ended reelection bid during a Fox News event on Wednesday.
The GOP nominee, in a televised interview that was promoted as part one of a “town hall” with host Sean Hannity (with audience questions set to air on Thursday), commented on how Democrats wanted the president “out” in July and predicted that Biden wouldn’t have won the election if he had stayed in the race.
“But we did a good debate, we had a good debate and it was a fair debate. And he was down like 18 or 19 points after the debate,” Trump said before swatting at the air around his head.
He continued, “I hate mosquitoes, I’m surprised. I didn’t think we had — we don’t like those mosquitoes, running around. We want nothing to do with them. But — and we want nothing to do with bad politicians that hate our country too if you wanna know the truth.”

This mosquito incident occurred nearly three weeks after a fly appeared to land on the former president’s face at a campaign event at his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf course.
The insect moment brings to mind a similar situation when a fly landed on Mike Pence’s head, sparking a wave of memes about Trump’s former vice president in 2020.
