Trump's 'Make America Healthy Again' Is a Ruse
Briefly

When Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dropped out of the presidential race to endorse Donald Trump, it marked a strategic move for Trump to attract Kennedy's supporters as he revived his pledge to create a commission investigating chronic illnesses, especially among children.
Kennedy praised Trump for his political courage and moral clarity regarding compromised institutions, suggesting that the former president's approach offers the best opportunity in our lifetimes to improve America's health through initiatives like nutrition classes.
Trump's rhetoric on removing toxic chemicals from the environment and food supply mirrors Kennedy's themes, demonstrating his strategy to connect with both Kennedy voters and the broader Republican base, which shares skepticism towards experts and public health.
Despite Trump's rhetoric, the actual substance of his health policies appears lacking, as the commission would only produce findings without significant implications for pharmaceutical companies, highlighting the opportunistic nature of his current pledge.
