Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has praised former President Donald Trump, calling him “probably the most successful debater in this country since Lincoln-Douglas.” This statement, coming from a contender for the Democratic nomination, underscores the fact that neither RFK Jr. nor Trump are your regular politicians.
RFK Jr.’s comments were made during a Fox News interview, where he emphasized the importance of President Biden participating in debates during the primaries. He argued that this would be crucial preparation for the eventual face-off against the Republican candidate, who he believes is likely to be Trump.
Kennedy’s comparison of Trump to Abraham Lincoln, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest presidents in American history, is a testament to Trump’s debating prowess. The Lincoln-Douglas debates of 1858 are considered a turning point in American political discourse, and to liken Trump’s debating skills to those of Lincoln is a significant compliment.
