LOS ANGELES.–Robert F. Kennedy Jr., 70, whose independent presidential campaign has dropped from 15% to 4% and continues to slide, considers dropping out and joining the campaign of 78-year-old former President Donald Trump. RFK jr. has already alienated his ultra-liberal Massachusetts-based family, once a dynasty in American politics, but knows the ranks of the current Democrat Party, a party hijacked by various factions on civil rights, gender rights and women’s reproductive rights have abandoned the undeniable legacy of the Kennedy name. Kennedy once stood for peace around the world, sparing no effort, no hardship to get along with U.S. adversaries for the purpose of promoting prosperity and world peace. President Joe Biden, 81, and 59-year-old Vice President Kamala Harris have chose warmongering and military intervention over diplomacy and peace.
RFK Jr.’s running mate Silicon Valley-based Michelle Shanahan said she and Robert are concerned about siphoning off voters from Trump and now consider joining the Trump campaign. They both see only economic hardship and perpetual war with policies set in stone by the Democrat Party. “Or, we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump,” Shanahan told Los Angeles-based Impact Theory. Trump said, when questioned about Shanahan’s remarks, he would “certainly be open to Kennedy playing a role in his administration.” “I like him, and I respect him,” Trump said campaigning in Michigan. RFK Jr. has been unfairly demonized by the media for citing research that warns consumers of the potential harm of the DPT [Diptheria, Pertussis, Tetanus], MMR [Measles, Mumps, Rubella] and other vaccines that potentially cause harm.
RFK Jr. has no problem citing authoritative research warning about the harm to vaccines, including the latest generation of mRNA vaccines used to combat Covid-19. Media calls RFK Jr. a vaccine denier that spreads propaganda and disinformation about live-saving vaccines. “He’s a brilliant guy. He’s a very smart guy. I’ve known him for a very long time,” Trump told CNN. “I didn’t know he was thinking about getting out, but If he is thinking about getting out, I’m certainly open to it,” Trump said, expressing interest in potentially joining forces. Trump has been accused by the press of promoting conspiracy theories about Covid-19 when Trump was the first to say the deadly novel coronavirus was manufactured in a Wuhan, China bioweapons lab. All U.S. authorities insisted the virus occurred naturally jumping from bats to animals then to humans.
Biden and Harris take all the credit for eradicating the deadly Covid-19 pandemic but the fact remains that more people died under Biden-Harris in the world and the United States than when Trump was in office. Biden and Harris did nothing to eliminate the virus other than denigrating Trump efforts to develop the first mRNA vaccines to save lives. Biden and Harris said in the 2020 campaign they would never trust any vaccine produced under Trump, telling voters that vaccines were a long way off. When the first Pfizer mRNA vaccine was released one week after the Nov. 3, 2020 election, Joe and Kamalla acted like it was their accomplishment. Trump was never given any credit for Operation Warp Speed, pushing vaccine makers to produce the first Covid-19 vaccines in record time. Yet Democrats at the RNC continue to insist that Trump did nothing to deal with Covid.
RFK Jr. has a natural affinity to Trump because no one has been vilified more in the press than Trump. Kennedy received a tiny fraction to the media’s wrath for his carefully reasoned views on vaccines. When it comes to Trump, the media universally condemns the GOP nominee and works feverishly to elect Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. RFK Jr. understands conspiracies better than most with his uncle President John F. Kennedy assassinated with a massive government cover-up. RFK Jr. thinks there was another government conspiracy over the assassination of his father, Robert F. Kennedy, something the media dismisses as a baseless conspiracy theory. Trump has been subject of one the biggest U.S. conspiracies of all with the government accusing Trump of Russian collusion and, more recently, with planning and orchestrating the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riots.
RFK Jr. has no one left to alienate in his family and the Democrat Party, based on his positions on vaccines and other subjects. He infuriated his family when RFK Jr. agreed Aug. 27, 2021 with the California Parole Board who agreed to release Sirhan Sirhan, the assassin or of Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, rescinded the Parole Board’s recommendation March 1, 2023, keeping Sirhan in prison until the next parole hearing. Joining the Trump campaign would be a natural fit for RFK Jr. because he understands firsthand what it’s like to be demonized by the Democrat Party and press. RFK Jr. agrees 100% with ending the Ukraine war and returning to normal diplomacy with the Russian Federation, getting back to bilateral relations and arms control RFK Jr.’s uncle JFK knew the importance of diplomacy, détente and arms control. Biden-Harris was the first post WW II administration to fund proxy war in Ukraine against the Kremlin.
