"Trump campaign quietly distances itself from RFK Jr after new vaccine safety comments

Donald Trump’s team appeared to be quietly distancing itself from Robert F Kennedy Jr in the immediate aftermath of the election amid speculation that the former presidential candidate could be handed control of US public health agencies.

Advisers to the president-elect questioned whether Mr Kennedy, a vaccine sceptic who has also been the subject of a series of bizarre stories involving animals, would make it through a security check for a cabinet position.

Mr Kennedy had previously said that Mr Trump had “promised” him control of the Department of Health and Human Services and public health agencies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

However, there is disquiet in the Trump team about media attention on the former independent candidate after he was pressed in a post-election interview with NBC about his vaccine scepticism.

In August, Mr Kennedy admitted that he had found a dead bear cub and dumped it in Central Park in New York in 2014, leaving a bicycle at the scene to make it look like an accident.

He thought locals, who have been baffled by the mystery for a decade, would find it “amusing”.

Mr Kennedy has also been accused of eating the barbecued remains of a dog in Korea – a claim he denied – and sawing the head off a dead whale to strap it to the roof of his car.

If handed control of the public health agencies by Mr Trump, Mr Kennedy said on Wednesday he planned to clear out “entire departments”.

“In some categories, their entire departments, like the nutrition department in the FDA, they have to go. They’re not doing their job. They’re not protecting our kids,” he told MSNBC.

“Why do we have Froot Loops in this country that have 18 or 19 ingredients, and you go to Canada, and it’s got two or three?”

He added that he could not eliminate public health agencies altogether without congressional approval, but would seek to root out “corruption” in those bodies."

Not true what he said about Froot Loops. Both have 12+ ingredients. The difference is U.S. uses artificial color chemicals vs Canada's more natural-based colors:

"President-elect Donald Trump is poised to push swiftly for new tax cuts if Republicans win full control of Congress, further slashing corporate rates and extending trillions of dollars of other cuts even as the national debt soars."

Elon Musk and other billionaires thank you for making them richer.
Meanwhile, you'll still be poor 4 years from now.

reply

Trump, Elon and Vivek are going to slash government spending and waste. Something that seems to be a foreign concept to you jagoffs.

The jagoffs that have ZERO understanding of economics.

Stop peddling your lies.

reply

To pay for their taxcuts for multi-billionaires.

Government waste like no health-care insurance for you. No child tax credits. Plan to stand in line at the DMV for days. Don't cry when you get food poisoning after all the food inspectors are laid-off. Don't expect FEMA to help when a tornado flattens your trailer park.

reply

What the hell would Trump have to do with the DMV? They're a function of your state government. Idiot.

reply

Dumbass, local and state governments will receive less federal funding which means major layoffs within local and state agencies similar to what happened in the Reagan years. Idiot!

reply

The government doesn't pay for my health insurance, dumbass. You are completely clueless.

Trailer park? Is that your way of insulting people who live in trailers? Thrown from the safety of mom's basement?

FEMA is too busy pandering to the illegals that democrats flooded the country in to sway elections. In other words, enabling treason.

reply

Yeah bye bye Medicaid. Sounds like a dream.... 😕

Signed, million man

"Trump, Elon and Vivek are going to slash government spending and waste."

Who the hell cares about the budget?

“The Federal Reserve should get our interest rates down to ZERO, or less,” the president tweeted." - Trump September 2019

https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/11/business/trump-fed-negative-rates/index.html

Trump himself was recently against the idea of negative rates. He told reporters on August 30 that he did not want to see negative rates in the United States.

But now Trump is voicing support for zero or negative rates as a way to “refinance” America’s mountain of debt, which has only grown larger due to tax cuts and a spending surge under the current administration.

“INTEREST COST COULD BE BROUGHT WAY DOWN,” Trump tweeted.

reply

Trump announced he will give him a major health role. He is grateful of his assistance and contribution to Tuesday's Republican triumph.

I bet RFK Jr feels used after putting out to a guy who made promises only to be dumped the next morning.

At least Harris was honest by not accepting the floozy's phone calls when he insisted on a cabinet position in exchange for his support. Trump used him and will likely toss him away which he deserves.

reply

RJK Jr's fate in the government depends mostly on Trump's decisions. He may not be appointed Secretary but I'm sure Trump will reward him somehow through an appointment of some kind, most probably in the health department.

Yes, an unqualified suckup would be perfect for your Idiocracy.

reply

WTF are you on about?
Did you read beyond the headline?
I suspect you did not.
It says nothing about Trump distancing himself from RFK. All it says is the Trump team is "questioning whether Mr Kennedy could get confirmed for a cabinet-level position by the Senate, obtain security clearance, or even want to go through those processes."

Are you daft, or just a deceitful POS?

reply

You must be a proud citizen of the Idiocracy.

For you:

You're welcome.

reply

So, you are daft.

Too stupid to know it.
People who read headlines and believe them should not be able to vote(among many, many other demographics). Voting shouldn't even be a right. It should be earned.

I am not a Trump supporter. I didn't vote for him. I am ecstatic that Commiela lost, though. The last thing America needs is more communist policies.

reply

So you support the big corporations poisoning people with tartrazine and other chemical substances and processed food in general? Is he wrong that he wants to promote a healthier way of eating in a country ravaged by high rates of obesity and cancer?

reply

Versus a dude in a dress?

reply

The problem with RFK is that although he is SOMETIMES in favor of some healthy changes, he is also suggesting batshit crazy and dangerous things. like when he says that AZT is poison, a belief that has lead to parents killing their own children.

And that mercury and other elements are as dangerous in every chemical context because there is only one mercury at the periodic table. Well, we can all eat table salt even though it as chlorine in the context of sodium chloride in it.

He just does not understand a lot of the things he talks about, including basic chemistry.

reply

He's part of the Idiocracy.

reply

Pot meet kettle.

Pot, meet the biggest and blackest celestial black hole imaginable.

reply

"He just does not understand a lot of the things he talks about, including basic chemistry."



He's been involved in shit like this most of his adult life, what credentials do you have? Are you a professor at a big 10 or something?

reply

And much of his involvement(not all of it) shows that he has misunderstood. It is not like he is the first dedicated non expert to bee wrong very often.

Everyone that knows basic chemistry knows that chemical context is crucial for knowing anything about how dangerous an element is in its curent context. That is why table salt is not extremly dangerous, despite having chlorine in it.

RFK however, think it is very strange that we advise against eating some sorts of mercury(salmon etc.) during pregnancy, while not advising against all food that has mercury. Because as he says it: There is only one mercury at the periodic table.

This is really basic stuff. Elements that are dangerous is almost never dangerous because everything within that element is dangerous.

reply

"Elements that are dangerous is almost never dangerous because everything within that element is dangerous."

??? Thats Kamala speak.

What do you beleive this will lead to as RFKjr becomes more involved over the next four years?

reply

I thought RFK jr was a fruit loop?

reply

LOL this did not age well. Trump won, the Cackling Slut got annihilated. Trump will be your president for the next 4 years, don’t be an insurrectionist, get in line and support your president.

reply

Wow, didn't take long for this post to age like some expired cottage cheese sitting in the sun.

HHS, suck it, fuckface.
