“I want to make America healthy again, and so does President Trump.”
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. intends his endorsement of Donald Trump for the presidency to be an active one.
He told Shannon Bream on Fox News on Sunday that he would be “campaigning actively” with Trump, and also told Americans to prepare themselves for a series of high-profile Democrat defections to the Trump campaign.
“President Trump is going to make a series of announcements of other Democrats who are joining his campaign,” Kennedy said.
Kennedy spoke about his motivation for endorsing Trump and the common ground they share.
“I want to make America healthy again, and so does President Trump.”
Kennedy added that Trump told him “he wanted to leave, as his legacy, healthy children.”
RFK Jr. said that, while no formal commitments have been made yet, his role within a second Trump administration would be to focus on reforming federal institutions like the FDA and the CDC, which he claims have been corrupted by corporate money. He also told Bream about his conversations with Trump about ending the Ukraine War and fighting censorship.
In his announcement on Friday that he would be withdrawing from the race, Kennedy said that he would work with the Trump administration to “make America healthy again.” He described watching a generation of children grow up “damaged” as a result of poor diet and environmental pollution, and said that four more years of Democratic rule will “complete the consolidation of corporate and neocon power, and our children will be the ones that suffer most.”
“For 19 years I prayed, every morning, that God would put me in a position to end this calamity. The chronic-disease crisis was one of my primary reasons for running for president, along with ending the censorship and the Ukraine war.”
Speculation about which Democrats will serve on a Trump “unity government” is now rife on social media.
As well as securing the support of RFK Jr., Trump has enlisted Democrat Tulsi Gabbard to help him prepare for his first debate against Kamala Harris, which is scheduled for early September. Gabbard is widely credited for ending Harris’s presidential hopes in 2019 in a single brutal exchange with the Vice President during one of the debates.
