Trump being Trump. But I don’t see how antagonizing RFK Jr and his supporters is helpful. Why not just ignore him or talk about the common ground they have?
RFK, JR...is that you commenting here???
> Trump being Trump. <
Yes, indeed. And his outbursts are usually not helpful (just my opinion).
But in this case, his outburst is helpful. Some conservatives have been looking favorably at RFK Jr. Maybe that’s because he’s a rebel. Maybe that’s because of his anti-vax stance. Some polls have even suggested that RFK Jr. might hurt Trump more than Biden.
RFK Jr would have been wise to let Trump’s outburst pass. But instead he called Trump unhinged. That will lose him some supporters, supporters who have a favorable opinion of Trump.
Did Trump plan this all out ahead of time? Probably not.
