Why is Trump letting RFK Jr dismantle agencies and upend public health? Shared grievances and skepticism about vaccines, a growing personal bond — and a belief that it’s good politics. Inside their alliance, with @emilydavies.bsky.social and Natalie Allison www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Covid was the reason trump lost the 2020 election. He firmly believes were it not for covid, he wouldve won. It was his lack of empathy & utter stupidity at all of those press briefings that did him in though, not covid itself. Since then, goal has been to minimize covid as nothing. Fox helped.

You are aware that Trumps only goal is to dismantle the 'deep state' and any chaos resulting from that 'policy' is precisely the intention? And if it is not Trumps goal, it is Stephen Millers.

And when it sits next to RFK Jr., it looks like the healthy one. “You think I look bad? Get a load of this…”

Vought and Miller are doing it! Trump is using project 2025 to become a Russian dictator and project 2025 is using Trump to make America a white Christian nationalist country and they are all trying to destroy America from within - with the help from Russia So did I get that right?

Trump tried, and failed, to work both sides of the street during the pandemic. There were countless ways to repay his debt to RFK Jr. short of appointing him HHS secretary. It's a measure of just how deranged Trump is that he would give this charlatan so much influence over America's public health.

They apparently share the belief about eugenics, “good genes.” Funny since they both look like more sickly than average.

One thing this isn't, is "good politics." Taking away people's hopes from disease and healthcare necessity is never good politics. That is like saying you can breathe every 5 minutes or your children will be taken from you. It's manipulation, blackmail and sadistic.

There are many Democrats and health-care workers — and @bera.house.gov is both — who are alarmed by RFK Jr’s moves and strategizing on how to stop him. I spoke to Rep. Bera for our story today.
