I very much appreciated Trump’s willingness to step aside and let RFK, Jr. speak. It was so refreshing to hear his rational words and his desire to work with Trump to better our country. There was mutual respect on display and it was beautiful to watch. I would love to see more rallies with Trump, Vance and RFK, Jr. each speaking about what they want to achieve to improve the lives of Americans.

I don't trust RFK jr. He's been divided on the Constitution in the past. Like many demonrats, he lets slip how he really feels, then backtracks when questioned (like a typical audience dependent politician). I feel like he could be a DS plant.
Convince me I'm wrong.

In response I would call your attention to the fact that before Trump entered politics he was a contributor to the Democratic Party and endorsed many Democrat candidates. He also pushed the C19 vax development to the chagrin of his supporters.
In the spectrum of politics today we need to focus on where we can make improvements now. I would rather have an organic piece of fruit with a few blemishes in my shopping cart than a perfect GMO specimen full of chemicals. Nobody is perfect. Better to deal with a rational person who has strong opinions BUT is willing to listen and consider an opposing view than to assume only a hardcore one dimensional person is best in politics.
Some people exhibit situational ethics in that they hold no solid positions and go along with the crowd to get along. That is not who RFK, Jr. is. I may not agree with him on everything but I feel he would respect a well thought out contrary opinion. The fact he is willing to work with Trump and support him in areas of national importance where they agree is a sign of a mature thinker, not a dogmatic party controlled robot like so many on the left.
I would much rather have RFK, Jr. on Trump’s team than so many back stabbing RINO traitors aligned with globalists we have seen surrounding him in the past. RFK, Jr. has a soul. He mentioned how he came to his decision after many hours in prayer. That’s the kind of person I want to see with Trump. A person with conviction that want’s to contribute in his area of expertise that aligns with the rational common sense thinking most Trump supporters have.
I appreciate your response. No argument regarding RINOs. I would like point out that history has shown that most politicians are liars, especially RINOs and Dems claiming to be moderate or anything approaching conservative values.
True. If given a choice, would you rather see gun rights people like Dick Cheney and Mike Pence advising Trump on the health of our nation, or RFK, Jr.?
Personally, I think RFK, Jr., given the fact that both his father and uncle were assassinated and that he WASN'T issued USSS protection during his campaign by Biden, deserves a little latitude concerning his thoughts about firearms. I'd be willing to bet he would sit down with a patriotic gun owner who never broke the law and say he has no problem with that person owning, carrying and maintaining guns for protection or sport. RFK, Jr. respects the Constitution and that's key. He might not like the NRA but a lot of us have seen problems with NRA over the years (Wayne LaPierre and his extravagant clothing budget paid for by the NRA for example and his public spat with Col. Oliver North) but you can't equate that with 2nd Amendment rights.
I think bringing RFK, Jr. into the fold shows those on the fence and moderate Dems that Trump is concerned with the big problems that affect all of us. We all want to reign in Big Pharma, Big Ag, Big Tech, etc. We want our borders closed and have the ability to safety walk the streets at night. We want our children to grow up with healthy food, healthy environment, and educated in reading, writing, math and skills which will lead to good paying jobs and good working values to build families with. We don't want poisoned with drugs, vaccines, GMO processed food or a healthcare system that sees people as profit centers and lab rats to test the newest gene altering technology.
I'd like military intelligence to be advising Trump on EVERYTHING, which I think happens most of the time.
I still don't trust RFK jr, and if people have a problem with that, fine. Many years of being lied to by the uniparty makes me extremely skeptical of any politician - they have to prove it and while I understand people can change their minds about things, most politicians don't - they change their message.
The NRA was / maybe still is a mess. I have no desire to defend them, and at times feel like they've failed us. Guess I'm on the fence for now - they'll have to earn back my trust.
I have close family dealing with issues due to big pharma. The sooner they are held accountable for their crimes, the better.
He won't be working in any of those areas.
This is my view, too. I like RFK Jr., but I don't agree with him on everything, and neither does Trump. I think they both said as much yesterday. Trump isn't going to put Kennedy in a position where he can destroy the 2nd amendment or make decisions on DEI issues. Kennedy is here for two reasons: the FDA and the CIA, and on those issues, we all agree and will benefit from his expertise. I'm excited to have him with us.
I think he'd also be involved with cleaning up the NIH and using his knowledge of Fauci and the entire revolving door between government / Big Pharma / Big Tech / Military Industrial Complex and root out the corruption, waste, fraud and abuse. These are areas RFK, Jr. knows a lot about. I'm also sure his love of children shows and he'd be all aboard tearing down the child trafficking and abuse networks that exist in the U.S. and globally.
I hope that's true - that he can be trusted to disassemble the CIA. If the CIA survives, we were lied to by Q.
I don’t trust ANY Dem. No matter how “noble” or “refreshing” their views. BUT For the sake of my PDJT and ONLY for his sake, I will temporarily suspend my mistrust of this ONE particular Dem. We shall see how the plan unfolds. I do appreciate the fact that he will remain on the ballot in the blue states.
I will still distrust him, but I can see how he would be a useful Scaramucci.
Man I kinda feel the same way. I try to remember that Awakening necessarily means THESE KINDS OF PEOPLE changing course, but my instinct is to not trust them.
I don’t care if you trust him or not and I have no desire to try to convince you of anything. The guy is more than alright in my book and this helps. Kick rocks.
If anything I'm distrustful of those who do nothing but push constant purity tests and keep letting evil win because they want to keep waiting for the perfect candidate.
Agreed.
