RFK Jr. shares his thoughts on Donald Trump
RFK Jr recently attended the Conservative Political Action Conference, also known as CPAC, which took place in Texas, and couldn’t stop gushing over Donald Trump.
He asserted that his views regarding the President have changed and stated, “President Trump is exactly the opposite of everything that I believed him to be. I basically drank the Kool-Aid—that he was this bombastic narcissist who didn’t read books and was ill-informed. But now I know the exact opposite.”
Kennedy Jr described Trump as an “empath” and added, “I think Donald Trump understands the use of power better than probably any president that we’ve had, maybe in American history.” He also stated that Trump is well-informed about many things and possesses “encyclopedic, molecular knowledge.” Kennedy Jr then asserted that if his father and uncle, Robert F Kennedy and John F Kennedy, respectively, were alive today, they would have backed Trump’s decisions. He said, “I think that if they were around today, that they would be making the same kind of choices that President Trump is.”
These comments by Kennedy Jr come after he called out Trump’s eating habits in January 2026. According to People Magazine, while speaking to Katie Miller on her podcast, the Health and Human Services secretary conveyed, “He eats really bad food, which is McDonald’s, and candy and Diet Coke. But he drinks Diet Coke at all times. He has the constitution of a deity. I don’t know how he’s alive. He’s just pumping himself full of poison all day long.”
