Trump won't say what administration roles he's considering for RFK Jr.

Former President Donald Trump wouldn’t say what potential future administration roles he might be considering for Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. after the independent presidential candidate suspended his campaign on Friday and endorsed Trump.

In response to a question about cabinet or adviser roles for Kennedy, Trump told reporters after an event in Nevada that he’s headed to Arizona, where Kennedy just announced his endorsement, and that Kennedy is “really a terrific guy.”

“I’ve had a long term friendship with him. He’s a very talented person. It’s an honor. He just announced, and it’s a great honor, really, is. He’s very popular, he’s very smart, he has a great family, wonderful family, and so I’m going to say hello to him now,” Trump said.

Kennedy said during his speech on Friday that the former president had asked to “enlist him in his administration.” He did not specify what potential role Trump had offered him, but said it would deal with the “chronic disease epidemic.”

He also said he will stay on the ballot in most states, but will withdraw his name from appearing on ballots in swing states.

Responding to Kennedy staying on the ballot in several states, Trump said, “well, I think they’re trying to get off ballots … I mean, we’ll see,” adding, “they’re gonna have to work that out.”

Trump told reporters “not everybody agrees with everything” Kennedy says, but added, “that’s true with everybody.” He went on to describe Kennedy as a “very respected” and “very beloved person.”

Kennedy has voiced controversial opinions, including casting doubt on the effectiveness of vaccines and claiming the coronavirus was “ethnically targeted” to spare Jews and Chinese people.

Trump wouldn’t directly answer when asked for his response to Kennedy’s previous assertion that the coronavirus vaccine was “the deadliest vaccine ever made,” telling the reporter, “Well, I’m gonna have to see because I haven’t seen him yet. I’m gonna see him in a little while.”

Trump also slammed Democrats for treating Kennedy “very badly” and said he thought that if Kennedy had run in the Democratic primary — as he originally planned to do before deciding to run as an independent instead — he would have defeated Biden. He further accused Democrats of coming up with “obstacles that were impossible” to prevent Kennedy from running in the party’s presidential primary.

From Vasectomy Vans To Hotties For Harris, The DNC Was Truly A Freak Show

Gage KlipperAugust 22, 2024

Throughout the Democratic National Convention, Democrats made a big show out of being “normal,” of standing for “freedom” and traditional, patriotic values. They did their best, but of course it is all a lie; there’s nothing normal about them.

Allow me to guide you through the Democrats’ wondrous world of human freaks and oddities. But first, we must get inside!

Careful, this is a dangerous path. Stay alert as we wade through the crowds of unwashed protesters — rabid, the lot of them.

Feast your eyes on a veritable buffet of causes. Do you want to see the destruction of Israel? Care to donate to Hamas? Perhaps trans rights are more your speed. Or, think bigger: the true idealists here want global intifada or worldwide communist revolution. Purple hair here; blue hair there; is that a man or a woman?

“Excuse me sir, would you like an American flag to burn?”

Over there, you’ll see Planned Parenthood’s free spay and neuter clinic. Excuse me, I mean free abortion and vasectomy “health” unit. Because nothing says “family values” like a mobile clinic for life’s little oopsie-daisies.

“Step right up, folks, get your reproductive rights sorted while you finger paint a Hamas flag!”

And what’s this? A girl holding a sign with the N-word boldly emblazoned. Is this a vicious “white supremacist?” Who’s to say. She may be an over-zealous theater kid striving for an A+ in Performance Art. Or, like the rest of her fellow travelers, perhaps it’s all a desperate plea for attention.

Now, let’s venture inside where the real circus begins.

It appears we’re too late to see our Dear Leader. Joe Biden might be the President, but that still didn’t secure him a prime time spot. No, the shadowy figures behind the curtains could not allow that. Biden went on some time ago, in the wee hours of the night. Some say you can still hear his voice trailing off if you listen very closely…

Up next, we see the King and Queen of the Democratic Party — although who’s to say which title belongs to whom. The Obamas have reigned supreme for over a decade, yet still they bristle with resentment. What’s that Michelle? You say you’ll “never benefit” from “generational wealth.” Perhaps you should have skipped the $3,000 pantsuit for this speech.

Here, take this prophylactic before we head into the next exhibit. You can never be too careful around these ladies.

Take a look at the Hotties for Harris. Here you’ll find everything you need to slut it up at the DNC: Plan B from a gumball machine, pregnancy tests and UTI treatments. There’s even a bad bitch boxing corner. And if it wasn’t all Mean Girl enough, there’s a wall of hotties and a wall of notties. All we need now is a Burn Book.

Who’s that stomping onto stage? Here comes Tim Walz, the gesticulating governor from Minnesota. A wave here, a raised fist there, watch as he directs an invisible orchestra with a stride in his step. Is he really such a dorky dad, or is he a beady-eyed communist in disguise? You have to respect his acting chops.

And it looks like he passed down the acting genes. “I love you dad,” cries Little Timmy from the balcony. Watch him stand and cheer, waving almost as madly as the old man. Like father, like son; but how many times did he rehearse this in front of the mirror?

Speaking of the kiddos, take a look at Kamala Harris’ beloved step daughter. She crawled out of the sewers of Bushwick just to show her support. Her tapestry of tattoos tells the story of her life, but her camo Harris-Walz hat is the real statement piece. What’s this quirky girl doing wearing hunting gear? Irony — it’s all the rage these days. She’s wearing it because she thinks it’s ugly, and she wants you to know what she thinks of the people who earnestly share her tastes.

Alas, we approach the end of our pageant of peculiarities. But don’t worry, you can still leave with a souvenir. You record a Tik Tok dance for posterity. If Gen-Z goes somewhere and doesn’t do a TikTok dance, did they ever really leave the house?

Democrats talk a good talk, but they can’t walk the walk. No matter what they do, the weirdness shines through. Sadly, our tour of the DNC has come to an end. But don’t fret. If our screwball heroes prevail in November, you’ll get another four years of the freak show.
