RFK Jr. was called out on X for a “North Korea” level of propaganda after he let loose a slew of strange compliments about President Donald Trump.
“He has an encyclopedic molecular knowledge on these, this wide range of very, very eclectic interests,” RFK Jr. laid the praise on thick during an interview at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Dallas, Texas.
“Music, Broadway shows, pro wrestling, football, every sport, golf and, and, and, you know, and business and Wall Street, he knows how everybody made their money and what deals they made,” RFK Jr. continued. “And he tells stories all the time about it, it’s just one after the other.”

“And one time, during the campaign, I was on the airplane with them, and we were sitting across the table from each other, eating McDonald’s. Drinking Diet Coke, and he and I started talking about Syria,” RFK Jr. says.
“And he got a place mat, and he turned it on its back, and then he took a Sharpie and he drew a perfect map of the Middle East, and then he put the troop strength of every country on every border on that map, and it just, it challenged a lot of the assumptions that I had been told about him.”
“He has, you know, he has this extraordinary depth of knowledge about what’s happening in each one of the agencies. My agency and the others, and you know, and then he has an instinct at makin,g good choices. Well, I have to say that And I, I would say this. I think, you know, I think my uncle, John Kennedy understood the use of power,” RFK Jr. continued.
“Better than any president who’s preceded them, I think Donald Trump understands the use of power better than probably any president that we’ve had – At least since Roosevelt and, and maybe in American history,” he finished telling the gathered Republicans at CPAC.
Reactions to RFK Jr.’s Trump story hour were as expected, with one writing, “North Korean levels of bulls—.”
Another added, “So full of it that it’s about to start running out of his ears.” A third user laughed, “That’s a hell of a brain worm.”

Granted, RFK Jr. has been called out by scientists and doctors for his reshuffling of the truth when it comes to health and diet.
In the Trump administration’s campaign to promote healthy eating, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has not stopped at his slogan urging people to “eat real food” to prevent disease.
In recent speeches and podcast appearances, the nation’s health secretary also has claimed that diet can “cure” schizophrenia and diabetes and allow people to rid themselves of bipolar disorder diagnoses. Researchers say the comments overstate current evidence about the real and promising role that food can play in managing illness.
“Food is medicine, and you can heal yourself with a good diet,” Kennedy said on comedian Theo Von’s “This Past Weekend” podcast in February.
The talking point aligns with an idea from Kennedy’s “Make America Healthy Again” allies that has gotten some bipartisan support: The role of food in health deserves more attention.
Scientists agree that diet can contribute to some diseases and also can be valuable in treating them. But public health advocates say Kennedy’s exaggerations are part of a pattern in which he cherry-picks and misrepresents scientific research, a tendency that he has regularly applied to vaccine science, enraging doctors.
