Former President Donald Trump drew laughs and applause with an impromptu remark comparing mosquitos to “bad politicians that hate our country” during a town hall with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Wednesday.

Trump was in the middle of a sentence about President Joe Biden — and how quickly he had lost support in the polls after his disastrous debate performance in late June — when he paused to swat at what was apparently a mosquito.

“He was down like 18 or 19 points after the debate,” Trump began waving his hand as if to swat something away. His expression changed then, and he smiled as he added, “I hate mosquitos, I’m surprised, I didn’t think we had — we don’t like those mosquitos running around. We want nothing to do with them.”

The crowd laughed and cheered, and Trump kept going: “And we want nothing to do with bad politicians that hate our country, too, if you want to know the truth.”

Trump also joked with Hannity about the fact that Fox News had offered to host a presidential debate on Wednesday — moderated by anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum — but that because Harris had refused to participate, they had opted for a town hall with Hannity instead.

WATCH:

“Tonight — Fox offered a debate opportunity between you and Kamala Harris,” Hannity explained. “And I was not going to be here, but it was going to be Bret and Martha.”

“This was supposed to be a debate,” Trump agreed. “I would have preferred — I think [Hannity] is a nice guy but I would have preferred a debate.”

“Thanks a lot,” Hannity joked.

“But this is the best we could do, Sean,” Trump replied.
