Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the son of the late-Robert Francis "Bobby" Kennedy probably made the most shocking statement during his interview for CNN. Well, liberals will definitely be shocked, that's a sure bet.
"Donald Trump could be the greatest president in history if he wanted to, he could easily be the next Teddy Roosevelt."
Is this a clear sign of admiration or what?
"Well, I think Donald Trump can be, you know, any kind of president he wants. He’s actually — he has this extraordinary opportunity because he's coming into office less burdened by obligation than probably any president in our history with the possible exception of Andrew Jackson," Kennedy continued.
"And you know, both of them, Jackson and Trump came in, they were — people were sickened, they were outraged when Jackson came in and they thought it was the end of the world and he became a — unless you were an American-Indian, he became a very good president in defending the country against corporate power and really democratizing America in many ways."
"Trump does not have obligations, he could really be an extraordinary president."
It’s just getting better.
"You know, I think he can do anything he wants because he is not — he is not bound by ideology. He is less bound by ideology than any president probably that we've had this century."
"He said to Leonardo DiCaprio the other day that he wanted to be the next Teddy Roosevelt, and he can easily do that."
"I think he can be any kind of president he wants. I think he could be the greatest president in history if he wanted to."
This is probably the most amazing statement so far, and it's pleasing to see that it comes from such an important person.
They all hate trump. They are attemping to build him up so they can destroy him
” They are attemping to build him up so they can destroy him.”
Huh?
I agree with you. All the love about his speech and all just seems a little fishy to me.
...a simple see through ploy by CNN to get back in the WH press pool
I never expected to agree with Bobby Kennedy, Jr., but I do. I expect President Trump to be one of the greatest Presidents in the entire history of the US.
Kyle: That isn’t it, Cartman.
Cartman: What isn’t it?
Kyle: That isn’t being nice. That’s just wearing a nice sweater.
Cartman: I don’t understand the difference.
Kyle: I know you don’t.
I think that Trump is not, like Kennedy was not, an establishment politician.
Trump, like Kennedy was, is tremendously wealthy. That means, unlike so many politicians, he cannot really be bought. I believe strongly in the guy, have since forever. But he is not what Washington is used to.
Washington is used to a sold-out mess. Everyone working for the mega-wealthy sometimes in direct contradiction to what is best for our country. Both parties have been sold out forever.
Trump cannot be bought. Trump is very wealthy. The thing is, Kennedy was for his time, equally as wealthy.
He is a whole new guy in Washington.
I think maybe, this Kennedy guy, gets that. Trump is real, he is strong, he is popular, he is patriotic, and he is very likely to be a GREAT president.
Maybe this guy gets that.
I don’t see why people are bashing this. Seems like an accurate analysis to me.
I don’t see it anywhere in the article, but RFK Jr met with Trump right after the election... in Trump Tower!
RFK Jr is a big advocate for understanding autism in children, and I think he and someone else are going to be spearheading a commission to look into whether certain vaccinations (or the frequency of certain vaccinations) cause autism. Some liberals refer to this line of thinking as the “anti-vaxxer” movement.
RFK Jr is a strange guy and has a seriously checkered past. And he’s certainly no conservative, but I think this is a big (albeit less-hyped) issue for Trump.
Nancy Pelosi is whispering furiously, ‘Ixnay on the aisepray!’
Kennedys
The family of lifeless eyes
I agree with him on a few things. I think he has spent enough time with President Trump to understand him and the potential he brings.
Excellent post.
President Donald Trump has to fight the enemy within the gates. No easy task when you have to let the enemy know what you are doing. The pen may be mightier then the sword, but a greater task when the enemy gets to read your strategy.
The autism/vaccine issue..I am very happy to see this discussed. I think Kennedy means what he says.
Robert and John were both politically conservative in many ways—before the paleo-snowflakes morphed them into liberal icons, whose every utterance was golden (except when they were cutting taxes, confronting the Soviets or defending Joe McCarthy; then they just pretend they never said anything).
Yeah, knowing Trump there has probably been inquiries made about space on Mount Rushmore, either added to, or, well, Theodore Roosevelt? Was he really up there in the same league as the other three? Too bad they jumped the gun and built Mount Rushmore before Ronald Reagan.
RFK Jr. is correct.
And if the Congress will abandon their pantywaist ways, they too can cement their legacy as playing a significant part in American history.
Washington will always be the greatest president.
But hopefully Trump will be the greatest modern president the country has seen.
