The single stupidest statement about Trump ever made

RFK Jr. doesn’t just kiss Trump’s derriere. He lies through his teeth.


Friends,

I can take only so much sycophantic bullsh*t from Trump’s Cabinet, but when RFK Jr. says there’s never been a president more willing to stand up to the oligarchs than President Donald Trump, I’ve got to respond.

It’s the oligarchy that put Trump into the presidency. He’s doing their work.

A half-century ago, when America had a large and growing middle class, those on the “left” wanted stronger social safety nets and more public investment in schools, roads, and research. Those on the “right” sought greater reliance on the free market.

But as power and wealth have moved to the top, everyone else — whether on the old right or the old left — has become disempowered and less secure.
