After Kennedy dropped his own presidential bid, Trump promised to let him “go crazy” with health and meal plan in his administration, leading to the expected pick, which may irritate some public health experts. It also serves as a reminder of the beginning that Trump sees now that he won a resounding majority in the Senate thanks to his decisive defeat.
Trump may also choose a replacement for the position. The Trump transition could n’t immediately be reached for comment.
” He’s going to help make America healthy again. … He wants to do some points, and we’re going to let him get to it”, Trump said in his victory speech. ” Come have a good time, Bobby”.
According to Politico, Kennedy, 70, could face major barriers in the verification process according to his contentious positions on vaccinations. He has also coauthored a book accusing former NIH national Anthony Fauci of working with technology mogul Bill Gates and pharmaceutical companies to promote COVID-19 vaccines. He has also publicly criticized regulation officials as business puppets who need to be removed from their positions.
The report also indicated that Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas ) said Kennedy will be treated like any other nominee, noting that he has” no preconceived notion” about the confirmation. Cornyn acknowledged that it would probably be discussed during the inquiry into Kennedy’s contentious vaccination views.

According to what it’s worth, Kennedy has recently stated that he wants to give the general public exposure to safety and efficacy data, enabling them to make educated choices. He even suggested that the Trump administration may advise against adding fluorine, which he claimed could reduce children’s IQ even though fluoride is frequently used to avoid cavities.
On the campaign road, Trump pledged to allow Kennedy “go crazy” on health.
If Robert F. Kennedy Jr. were to become the 45th leader, Trump actually used the term “wild” when he told the group at Madison Square Garden. ” I’m going to let him go wild on health. He wo n’t be able to eat anything, so I’m going to let him. I’m going to let him go crazy on the drugs”, said the 78-year-old Republican nomination. According to reports, Trump may be making decisions about the government’s operations, health and science plan, and research.
In terms of oil, Trump did make an exception for what Kennedy, Jr. can get away with:” The only thing I do n’t think I’m going to let him even get near is the liquid gold that we have under our feet.”
Kennedy switched from a Democratic Party member to an Independent who lost support for both main parties. But, in August, he suspended his campaign and endorsed Donald Trump.

” Several weeks ago, I promised the American citizens that I would withdraw from the race if I became a spoiler”, he said in his statement. ” In my heart, I no more think that I have a practical way to electoral success in the face of this continuous, systematic repression and media control” . ,
Donald Trump is the only candidate who can help make that dream a reality, despite Kennedy’s pledge to fight the chronic disease epidemic for his final years.
” President Trump has told me that he wants this to be his legacy”, he said.
Trump said something on X:
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., will be the secretary of health and human services ( HHS) in the United States. For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it …
