Trump Brutally Attacks ‘Radical Left Democrat’ RFK Jr.: He’ll ‘Be Indicted Any Day Now’

Former President Donald Trump lit into third-party candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Wednesday and predicted both Kennedy and his newly announced running mate, Nicole Shanahan, will soon be indicted.

“RFK Jr. is the most Radical Left Candidate in the race, by far. He’s a big fan of the Green New Scam, and other economy killing disasters,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, adding:

I guess this would mean he is going to be taking votes from Crooked Joe Biden, which would be a great service to America. His running mate, Nicole Shanahan, is even more “Liberal” than him, if that’s possible. Kennedy is a Radical Left Democrat, and always will be!!! It’s great for MAGA, but the Communists will make it very hard for him to get on the Ballot. Expect him, and her, to be indicted any day now, probably for Environmental Fraud! He is Crooked Joe Biden’s Political Opponent, not mine. I love that he is running!

As Kennedy gets ballot access in more and more states, the question of which major candidate he will pull votes from has become more and more pressing – which may explain Trump’s ferocious attack on him.

“Polls show RFK Jr would draw most of his support from Biden. The fact that Tim Mellon, a big Trump donor, has given him $20m backs that up. You wouldn’t waste that kind of cash on a hopeless cause without a larger aim,” wrote FT’s Edward Luce on Wednesday.

CNN’s Alayna Treene took the opposite point of view, noting, “Some context on this late-night/early morning Truth Social post: Despite Trump’s claims that he is glad RFK Jr. is running, some people close to Trump are concerned he could also siphon support away from the former president.”

“While Trump’s team largely believes (at least for now) that RFK Jr. is more dangerous to Biden than the former president, they also acknowledge that RFK Jr.’s platform is attractive to many anti-establishment Trump voters,” Treene added.

Kennedy and Trump have long been friends and Trump appointed Kennedy to his vaccine commission while president.
