RFK Jr.: ‘Stuff’ Trump eats ‘really, like, bad’

Former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spoke about President-elect Trump’s eating habits on the campaign trail, calling the food the Republican leader ate “really, like, bad.”

“The stuff that he eats is really, like, bad,” Kennedy said during an interview on “The Joe Polish Show,” drawing laughter from the audience.

“Campaign food is always bad, but the food that goes onto that airplane is, like, just poison,” Kennedy added, saying that “you’re either given KFC or Big Macs.”

Kennedy went as far to say that he considers some of the options “inedible.”

The Hill has contacted the Trump campaign for comment.

Kennedy, who dropped his own presidential bid and threw his support behind Trump in the final leg of the 2024 election, now appears poised to take on a role in the president-elect’s second administration.

The idea of him taking on an advisory role with a “direct line to POTUS” has been floated, according to a source privy to discussions about Kennedy this cycle, though the source said nothing is as of yet “solid or set in stone.”

Kennedy himself has made his preference to change America’s approach to public health known to Trump.

The president-elect said he would let Kennedy “go wild” on the government’s health care systems, a line that his son Donald Trump Jr. also enthusiastically repeated to conservative media after his father’s victory.

Trump’s promise has sparked concerns among public health experts, who worry Kennedy could meddle with key government agencies, amplify vaccine hesitancy and direct agency funding to favor his preferred views.
