Once upon a time, before his administration had been largely co-opted by the Deep State via strategically placed plants like Jared Kushner, Mike Pompeo, etc., Trump had reportedly taken an active interest in recruiting RFK Jr. as the chairman of a vaccine safety commission.
Via Politico, January 2017 (emphasis added):
“President-elect Donald Trump has asked Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a major source of disproved theories imputing harm to vaccines, to chair a ‘commission on vaccine safety and scientific integrity,’ Kennedy told reporters after a meeting in Trump Tower on Tuesday.
Kennedy, who said he accepted the assignment, has been insisting for over a decade that traces of mercury in a preservative formerly used in childhood vaccines caused a massive increase in autism diagnoses. He has clung to the theory despite overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary.
Later in the day, however, Trump appeared to be backing off Kennedy’s report. In a statement released by the transition team, Trump said he ‘enjoyed his discussion’ with Kennedy and was ‘exploring the possibility of forming a committee on Autism, which affects many families; however no decisions have been made at this time.’”
Fast forward seven years — with no changes in RFK Jr.’s consistent and principled position on vaccine safety — and Trump is suddenly singing a different tune, the only conclusions to which being that he has no truly sincerely-held beliefs on this issue and that his strategery is lacking miserably.
Via The Independent, present day (emphasis added):
“Donald Trump has begun lashing out at independent presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr amid recent polling indicating the anti-vaxxer is attracting the support of potential Trump voters.
Over the weekend, Mr Trump made at least four Truth Social posts attacking Mr Kennedy, falsely asserting he is a ‘Democratic plant’ installed to help President Joe Biden win, that he is more liberal than any other candidate and that his views on vaccines are ‘fake.’
‘A Vote for Junior’ would essentially be a WASTED PROTEST VOTE, that could swing either way, but would only swing against the Democrats if Republicans knew the true story about him.’ Mr Trump wrote on Saturday.
The sudden ramp-up of attacks arrives after polling from Quinnipiac, Marist and NBC News shows that Mr Kennedy’s campaign is taking votes away from Mr Trump.
An NBC News poll shows that in match-ups between Mr Trump and Mr Biden, the former president has at least a two-point lead. But when Mr Kennedy is thrown into the mix, Mr Biden then takes the lead. Marist polling indicates Mr Kennedy has managed to increase his support among independents from 21 per cent to 27 per cent – meanwhile, Mr Trump has gone from 38 per cent to 30 per cent.”
Morality aside — I’m not sure Trump has ever been or could ever be swayed by pleas to morality; it’s not in his DNA — this is total strategic buffoonery for a candidate who needs every single member of his base to show out in November.
The calculus is not rocket science.
Trump repeatedly brags at rallies about Operation Warp speed and gets booed every time — the only time he ever gets booed for anything at these things — because his ego can’t cope with not being praised for what he believes was a heroic effort on his part, Operation Warp Speed.

RFK Jr.’s vaxx position, on the other hand, is in line with the vast majority of Trump’s base.
If you’re Trump, why attack your opponent’s greatest strength relative to you?
There are possible explanations, of course.
Perhaps he’s been warned that going full “anti-vaxx” is a red line the permanent state won’t abide, and that he’s liable to get the JFK treatment if he pursues it. Maybe he’s been pledged some sort of bribe via industry back-channels. Maybe he’s a legitimate Kool-Aid drinker.
Or, maybe, just maybe, the same essential problem that kept him from pulling out of Afghanistan or pardoning Julian Assange rears its ugly head again: the advisers Trump allows himself to be surrounded with promote agendas at odds with his own base, yet through flattery and other means he allows himself to be led astray by these jackals.

“the only conclusions to which being that he has no truly sincerely-held beliefs on this issue and that his strategery is lacking miserably.”
hyperbole anyone?
so….if you are rich or famous, you are not permitted to change yoir mind?
what a totally intolerant and defective premise.
so let me guess AP, you have always been right about everything at all times throughout your entire life and have never changed your mind?
Yep.
My quoted statement proves the author of this article has in intolerance and a labeling problem he is unaware of.
8 ball.
Other than “I am awesome! Look at me!”, Trump has no sincerely held beliefs of any kind whatsoever.
He has no integrity and no principles, just a yuge narcissistic ego.
“it’s yuuuge”
Upvoted you for cool user name.

AntiGentilism is a crime.
Where is anti-Gentilism a crime? Certainly not in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand or any of the European Nations … quite the opposite, in fact …
They’re working on it as time goes on
“the only conclusions to which being that he has no truly sincerely-held beliefs on this issue and that his strategery is lacking miserably.”
True that.
Men, such as Dr. McCullough, who began as pro-covid vaxx, did a 180 when it became obvious that the jabs are dangerous and good for shit.
Changing your mind, in light of evidence and facts, is noble. And publicly doing so is the correct course, the only course, to take.
I get tired of the constant attacks on Trump. The self-righteous stuff is really irritating. Yes, he got rolled. This is news? Give it a rest. We really are in bigger trouble than that. As for me, I give people the Deep State hates with incredible passion quite a bit of slack.
Don’t take attacks on Trump personally, Sue.
Unless of course you might feel you’re being rolled too?
> ”I get tired of the constant attacks on Trump.”
And I’ve been SICK of Trump!
> “Yes, he got rolled.”
WHO? The stable GENIUS?!
> “I give people the Deep State hates with incredible passion quite a bit of slack.”
INCREDIBLE! I DON’T! This liar was NEVER fit for the job and never should have taken it.
The Deep State loves genetic experiments disguised as vaccines. And Trump says that’s “beautiful.”
No offense, Sue, but Trump can kiss my ass as soon as he gets big enough to reach it.
I hope you’re up to date with all those beautiful boosters Trump recommends. Gotta support the team!
Mass deportation too, right , sure, never gonna happen.

Ego and cognitive dissonance.

He got rolled. Birx rolled him. So did Fauci. So did Barr. So did Pence (stupid bastard that he is). Milley rolled him. The list goes on and on. Trump is a talker. He reminds me of an old saying: That guy has an alligator’s mouth and a humming birds asshole. Hopefully these two jokers running for president will finally put an end to the pathetic canard we hear every 4 years: I know we’ve said it before but THIS election is the most important one EVER! No it ain’t. Same old shit.
But, but,… he knew ALL the right people! That’s, of course, why he hired them.
He rolled HIMSELF.
Yes he did. He now claims he knows what people to pick in his next administration. Like he didn’t know what Haley, Barr and Bolton really were Neocons? Bullshit. If I knew, he did. Bullshitter.
I can’t edit my response in case of a typo? Anyone else?
Yes. Everything’s changed . . . except for Quinn’s commitment to free speech.
Yep, I’m not seeing the little edit icon today. MWNN is probably on it as we speak.
Bullshitter in Chief.
CCrider – tRump is just playing 187.5 degree chess.
He’s like really really smart, knows how to pick quality people only he was duped by backstabbers. But rest assured he luvs murika… and israel
Same with Fauci. If I could find the info, easily, so could he.
Those are all people Israel likes (Barr is a Jew) and Rotschild owns Israel and Trump.
You can be a billionaire and President of the USA and still be somebodies bitch.
He rolled about a hundred million people, who are now known as Trumptards.
Ya, he got rolled. Sure. Whatever. If he got rolled and he couldn’t tell he is an idiot, if not, he’s in on it. I’ll go for the latter.
I’ll pick door#3 – he’s in on it AND an idiot.
Vote moar harderer
tRump zombies go – oOOOooo pretty flags
You need some new material.
triggered you
Hahahhahaha that’s a great pic !
It all began when he put his daughter and her POS husband in charge of things in the White House … it had only one way to run — down hill …
No need to go too deep on this one: Trump is dumb, narcissistic and easily manipulated. Anyone who thinks this guy is going to save us is nuts.
He won’t save us, but I’d appreciate him giving me a few extra years before the real trouble gets here.
Tell that to the dead that trusted his jab!
Trump failed badly in his management of Covid. Anyone who “trusted” the jab was either not paying attention or decided the risk of taking it was worth it for other reasons.
I do not understand! Another term for President is leader. These people DID “pay attention” to what their “leader” told them was “good” for them so they took his poison. He said, “Remember, we took care of a lot of people” – Yeah, HE SURE DID!
Their leader lead them to their deaths.
But, but, he is the “lesser of evils”.
lol
Horseshit !
Trump knows damn well and good the entire FAKE VIRUS CRISIS was a complete SHAM from beginning to end.
As a member of the billionaire class he knows that you can not buck the SYSTEM also.
No………….make no mistake……….he will cling to his ” Fabulous vaxx” to the bitter end.
Meanwhile over a 1000 J6 political prisoners rot in democrat party prisons and not a peep out of trump.
Remember what Trump said, “I don’t take responsibility at all.”
Our hero. He’s the MAN!
Well he did say that IF the tRump zombies vote him back in that he’d consider pardoning the J6’rs, or maybe whats left of them.
And he did say, “Take the guns first.”
I think even more revealing, and disgusting, is that he said, “I LIKE taking the guns first.”
Well, by all means, let’s not upset our dick-tater!
If he ever even mentioned them I might be a little impressed. It looks to me like Trump convinces himself daily that the J6 political prisoners don’t even exist.
This is some stupid shit right here. Laughable goy dribble for the goy who still believe in what the TV says.
Trump says Kennedy’s views on vaccines are ‘fake.’ Huh?! Why? How does Kennedy profit from THAT stance?
Obviously it’s conceivable that TRUMP would benefit with his stance in PROMOTING the pharmaceuticals. DUH!
I believe TRUMP’S incessant views on vaccines IS FAKE! Unless he really has drank the kool-aid, I don’t believe he allowed himself the jab. And why the delay when finally admitting he had taken it? It was reported that he and Melania “quietly” received it. Why in this world did he not come out and brag about it?
None of it makes any sense.
Mr. and Mrs. Trump taking the jab could explain the two Log Cabin Republican LGBT Gala fund raisers held at Mar-a-Lago. “Something” is in it that makes people gay.
Aww, come on… let’s not put the blame on a “vaccine” with them mingling at their home with the gays. That wouldn’t be fair to Trump’s beautiful “vaccine”. I give the stable genius, and his wife, all the unadulterated freedom to choose whom they want to “party” with.
Trump posting that RFK Jr is a raging liberal is probably less about dissuading conservatives from voting for him as it is about convincing liberals (especially young ones mad about Gaza) that they should vote for RFK instead of Biden. Also, there’s a good chance that when he’s in a debate in the fall, Trump will again brag about Warp Speed. He’ll probably lose fewer votes by doing that than the votes he’ll gain from suburban white women and eunuchs who will be calmed by his “moderation” and “reasonableness”.
I was going to vote for Trump again until he let Johnson pass the latest war funding and FISA bills. Now I’m thinking RFK may be the lessor of 3 evils.
You may as well write yourself in.
Better yet…….
Write-In- THOMAS MASSIE 2024
Or “Literally Anybody Else” =)
It would by far be “the lesser of evils”.
I see what you did there.
That is a good point actually for the “lesser of evils” types. Someone opined the lesser of evils myth today. I mentioned evil is evil. Was not thinking that “someone” should consider RFK as the “lesser of evils”.
I covered this in my essay supporting RFK Jr, also published on TBP. And for Gods sake Trump, stop insulting good people even if you disagree with them. Its a bad example for our kids who pay attention to our Presidents.
Take the ticket and the money rolls in.Reality TV stars gotta’ eat too.

“I think we can knock it out before it disappears,” Trump said. “That’s what I want. And if I had my choice between vaccines or therapeutics, give me therapeutics every time because I’d love to walk into a hospital and give everybody something and they start walking out in two days. That’s what I’d like.”

They WERE actually giving HCQ/Azithromycin, in the hospital, in blue New Jersey – very early on before Trump touted it. And they DID manage to walk out of there in a week.

Interesting to read Red River D’s comments as they connect to the vid below.
(What happened to Red River?)
Here is a frag I’ll pull the pin on and leave it right her.
Somebody mentioned him maybe two/three months ago. (?) not sure I am remembering correctly, but I think they said he has a substack. Red hangs mostly on the substack.
** per your post, I think Trump is just a shill actor. If that constitutes being a Antichrist candidate, IDK. We don’t really have candidates OR elections for that matter. Good to see you buddy.
BL,
Yea, I’m with Catherin Austin Fitts and her comments on Trump during her recent heated Greg Hunter interview at a bare minimum.
Good to be seen instead of viewed buddy!
Trump’s narrative is closely intertwined with his ‘brand’. This kind of person cannot be ‘wrong’, because it damages the brand. So even when I’m wrong, I’m right, from his point of view. His brand is powerful enough to make its own atmosphere, its own reality, so precious few are going to be able to effectively argue against it. It is a weakness when it causes him to double-down on being wrong, but a strength when his instincts are good. Which is most of the time. I consider him a ‘good’ megalomaniac, if that is possible.
Readers Digest answer – Nope.
He has a very, very large… uh..brrain!
Damn, boy. I bet you could convince yourself that you’re your own granpa.
Or maybe, just maybe, Trump’s a mere Bag O’ Rocks.
RFK Jr IS NOT “stealing” votes from anybody! The others are simply “losing” them due to an unbridled ineptitude.
It’s not the lesser of two evils at play here.
It’s the evil of two lessers.
“Donald Trump has begun lashing out at independent presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr amid recent polling indicating the anti-vaxxer is attracting the support of potential Trump voters.”
Trump victimization as usual.
Trump has shown US zero evidence that he is willing to get rid of the jackals (and worse) that he put into positions of power in his first administration.
He’s still pandering to the same israel-first backers that he kowtowed to in the ’16 election … and that’s what got him into office. He seems to be going with that plan once again … kowtowing to the same anti-US folks as last time.
YIKES!!! BOTH OF THEM ARE “WHITE ZIONIST”…REMEMBER???
Nobody seeing a slight logical inconsistency
between

Led astray from what?
And even that from which he is led astray would be totally immoral??
That’s how you can tell the author is a shill.
As I recall Trump originally campaigned on reining big pharma in. RFK is already back pedaling hard. I learned the hard way about big pharma and the fake flu shot 35 years ago. I remember when the EPA, and FDA actually did useful work. Before that clown in makeup, Ronald Reagan took such federal acronyms and turned them into protection buffers for big pharma-big agri. Smoothing the road for one such as Obama to weaponize such agencies.
RFK back pedaling hard from attacking BigPharma? Big load of BS, that is.
RFK is keeping his powder dry until the time when the Task Force releases its discoveries that’ll point directly at BigPharma.
You’ll eat your words, then.
Now RFK is saying he’s only against the Covid vaccine. Not my fault if you’re paying attention.
Why the fuck would the author use snips from Politico and The independent in his article unless he’s a dimbulb who reads that kind of shit? This author is full of shit on several levels.
