RFK is really a stupider SOB than I thought if he was really under the impression that Donald Trump would let him go to war with Big Ag. It's not only that Trump's word means nothing and he uses people until he's tired of them and then tosses them to the curb (paging Robert Lighthizer!). But of all the presidents who might theoretically be interested in a crusade for healthy foods, Trump? Trump? The lardass who thrives on fast food and soda? You can take one look at Barack and Michelle and realize that these are people who might sign up for anti-obesity policy. And you can take one look at Trump and the people in his orbit and realize that these are not such people.

I think RFK, Jr. and Trump will have a rather quick falling out, and he may be the first of these cabinet officials to go. Trump doesn't hesitate to turn on people once they cause controversy and make him look bad (see Rudy as just one example), and he'll likely gradually shed all of these more incompetent appointees (after they've already screwed things up, of course, and will replace them with even dumber ones probably). But I have a hunch that RFK, Jr. will be one of the first to go.

I suspect RFK will have a career like Ben Carson. If he keeps his head down and talks primarily to the anti-vaxx communities, he'll be fine.

Does RFK Jr strike you as the type of person who likes to "keep his head down?"

I put the over/under at 3 Scaramucis.

No, but he's also someone who wants to have his views legitimated. Without Trump, he's just a fringe guy again with no friends because the right doesn't trust him and the left now fucking hates him (if we didn't already).

Maybe Ben Carson was the wrong example. I just meant someone who lasted a while because of a complete lack of interest in doing anything. RFK Jr. strikes me as all talk, all hat and no cattle. Trump won't mind if he's just up there ranting about vaccines. RFK won't mind if he's given that platform.

I mean, it certainly wouldn't surprise me if you're right -- and of course, this is all contingent on him being confirmed, which is very far from given -- but I'm not sure the relationship is quite as doomed, so to speak.

Junior Kennedy is also unlikely to do the one thing Trump can’t allow or forgive - ask for or demand money. That was Rudy’s unforgivable error. He voiced that he wanted/wants his legal bills paid and that he wanted Trump to actually pay the legal fees that Rudy submitted for payment.

Silly Rudy…..the grift belongs to Trump.

The problem, based on what I've read about him, is that like Trump he has a huge ego and desire for the spotlight, and so I don't think he will keep his head down. And Trump hates competition for the spotlight. At any rate we'll find out soon enough.

The fuck is wrong with all of them

I think many of them are genuinely crazy as a loon, for one thing. And given RFK, Jr's ego and treatment of women over the decades he probably thinks that women watching this are turned on. As for what his wife was thinking, who knows? And of course there is always, always, the grifting to MAGA Nation to buy their products. The notion that this guy is in a position to cancel or at least hold up needed vaccines is genuinely frightening.
