The Real Picture Behind Trump’s Potential Appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Are you surprised that President Donald Trump said he would be open to appointing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to a cabinet role if elected?

Let's be honest, folks - I am beyond surprised by anything this President does. However, such surprise is misplaced, as Trump's chances of winning the election in November are slim, and regardless of who he names to these positions, we're all heading back to our old jobs, flipping burgers at McDonald's, probably making so sooooo little that a #MealDeal from McDonald's seems like a lavish feast.

Warren, let’s be clear: Trump is simply choosing people he believes can add value to his campaign. This still makes for a roster of "best" candidates to work for him, which is a perfect fit for his traveling circus of “wackos and weirdos.”

Frankly, the idea of appointing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to a cabinet role is rooted in Trump's belief that he can leverage the appointment to secure votes and public support that might be swaying in his direction. The so-called "Ross Perot" boost is the real reason behind this move, as Trump thinks it could give him a critical edge in the election.

Interestingly, it’s surprising that people don’t see through this. Trump has always and will always act in his best interest. His recent shift in strategies is a clear indication that the polls showing him as a likely winner are now shifting to a tie, if not a possible close loss. He is positioning himself strategically, offering RFK Jr. as a card to play with potential voters.

However, if he wins, it would be a bigger surprise. The likelihood is that he will fail to follow through on any promises he may have made to Kennedy, simply because there is no cabinet position for people with "wacko" ideas.

Ultimately, Trump is looking for people with experience in various fields. He prefers diverse perspectives, and Kennedy's suspension of his campaign and endorsement of Trump bring a different perspective to the table. In his speech today, RFK Jr. criticized the Democratic National Committee (DNC), comparing them to Putin's regime for 'censoring' him and for fighting to keep him off state ballots. This has clearly highlighted the divide between the two major parties and the changing political landscape.

Now, is this surprising? Far from it. Trump likes to surround himself with individuals who align with his vision, whether that vision is in line with the law or not. The current situation is all about political strategy and positioning, rather than any genuine commitment to a candidate's ideas.
