Trump Goes On Truth Social Rant About RFK, Jr. After NBC Suggests His Candidacy Hurts Trump More Than Biden
“When the ballot is expanded to five named candidates, Biden takes a 2-point lead over Trump: Biden 39%, Trump 37%, Kennedy 13%, Jill Stein 3% and Cornel West 2%.”
So last weekend, NBC News published an outlier poll “showing” that RFK, Jr.’s candidacy hurts Trump more than it hurts Biden. They grudgingly admit that in a head to head, Trump beats Biden, but then they toss in three other candidates, among them climate crisis agitator and wannabe gun grabber RFK, Jr.
Frankly, his VP pick should have been a clear signal to anyone to the right of Mao that Junior’s off his rocker, but apparently, at least according to NBC News for what that’s worth these days, there are some potential Trump voters who would pull the lever for RFK, Jr.
The poll also finds Trump narrowly ahead of Biden by 2 points among registered voters in a head-to-head matchup, 46% to 44% — down from Trump’s 5-point advantage in January, 47% to 42%.
The movement, which is within the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points, is consistent with what other national polls have found in the Trump-Biden race.
. . . . When the ballot is expanded to five named candidates, Biden takes a 2-point lead over Trump: Biden 39%, Trump 37%, Kennedy 13%, Jill Stein 3% and Cornel West 2%.
. . . . Again, the result between Biden and Trump is within the poll’s margin of error.
Notably, the poll finds a greater share of Trump voters from the head-to-head matchup supporting Kennedy in the expanded ballot compared with Biden voters, different from the results of some other surveys.
Trump, apparently worried about his supporters actually voting (for who knows what reason) for RFK, Jr. took to Truth Social to lambaste the man as the leftist that he undoubtedly is. I’m not on Truth Social, so I’m going by what TDP is posting since they repost his “truths” or whatever tweets are called on that site.
RFK Jr. is a Democrat “Plant,” a Radical Left Liberal who’s been put in place in order to help Crooked Joe Biden, the Worst President in the History of the United States, get Re-Elected. A Vote for Junior’ would essentially be a WASTED PROTEST VOTE, that could swing either way,…

Upstate New York was not allowed to drill or frack as Ohio, Pennsylvania, and others ripped off New York Energy. Because of this, prices have skyrocketed all over that part of the Country, but especially Upstate New York and New England. Their Energy Costs are the highest in the U.S., with the exception of California, run by Gavin Newscum, the Worst Governor in the State’s History. I’d even take Biden over Junior’, because our Country would last a year or two longer prior to collapse – But it would be dead either way. His Views on Vaccines are FAKE, as is everything else about his Candidacy. Let the Democrats have RFK Jr. They deserve him!

I have yet to meet anyone that admits they will vote for Junior.
America has become far too polarized.
There is no choice except to take do whatever it takes to balance the scales.
If for some reason Trump is not on the ballot, I’m voting Jr
RFK Jr. wants to debate Trump and has thrown down the gauntlet in his response to Trump’s rant against him. Here are some of the points he says he would make in the debate:
“Trump promised to end the Ukraine war and then colluded with Speaker Johnson and President Biden to fund it. He let Big Pharma and his corrupt bureaucrats run roughshod over him as President. He promised to cut the deficit and ran up the biggest debt in history. He promised to run the government like a business and then closed down our businesses. He promised to drain the swamp and then filled his administration with swamp creatures. He promised to protect our rights and then torpedoed the Constitution. Instead of lobbing poisonous bombs from the safety of his bunker, let’s hear President Trump defend his record to me mano-a-mano by respectful, congenial debate.”
I would pay good money to watch a debate between RFK Jr. and Trump.
No one cares about RFK, his positions are mildly interesting, but in the end he is not relevant kind of like you.
What NBC did was to publish a push poll. This isn’t about where voters are but where NBC would like them to be.
I can’t see anything in the linked article to support your claim that it was a push poll.
I’m not sure, but I read his comment to mean that he thinks push polling is essentially a fake poll intended to push the electorate to a desired outcome. That’s not what a push poll is, but it’s the only thing I could think of that made sense in this context.
Oh, for Christ’s sake, it’s NBC, what do you expect?
Hey, DJT, . . . it looks like you have a lot of free time on your hands these days. I’m sorry, please clue me in: WHO are the potential voters you seeking to address in these posts?
Fuzzy is crossing her fingers that Trump won’t win. She should definitely remind us of her “””””principles””””” again.
Your quotation mark key seems to be sticking.
Aw, thanks! I’ll happily share my principles with you. Here ya go:
The primary is over; Trump is the GOP nominee. We will get either a second Trump or a second Biden term; neither is my favorite choice, but Trump is clearly the superior choice now that, as I’ve noted, the primary is over.
My principles dictate that I support the GOP nominee because the alternative is, to my mind, the worst president since Wilson (who was the very worst president ever, in my book and based on my principles). This third Obama term, with a splash of Hillary and even Elizabeth Warren mixed in, has been an unmitigated disaster, not just for America but for the world.
Much as I wish Trump weren’t the GOP nominee, he is, so my principles dictate that I vote (a third time!) for Trump. Because the alternative is unspeakable and unthinkable. You digging my principles?
why are you so anti[ Trump? things were pretty good with him in office
I’m not “anti” Trump; I just don’t like or trust him. Why? Because . . .
“Take the guns first and worry about due process later.”
“Hey, how about we ditch the Constitution to give me a new election or just hand the presidency to me!?”
Failing in pretty much every possible way on covid, even going so far as to attack governors (and other nations) that were actually getting it right. He said he would open by Easter ’20, but then he didn’t want to upset the media, so he just did what Fauci and Birx told him to do. A weakness of character that is unforgivable given the vast damage his spinelessness has cost. Also, had he stuck to his guns, the economy would have bounced from a month or so of near-closure, there would have been no covid-inspired Democrat election cheat setups, and he’d still be president today. He blew covid on so many levels, I could go on and on.
He can’t work with Congress. He thinks he can bully and roll over them, but he can’t. No one can. They aren’t beholden to him. Had he done even half of what he wanted to do by getting laws passed in Congress (he had two years of a GOP Congress, got little through, though I am glad he had the ObamaCare mandate revoked). But where’s the wall? What happened to lock her up? Why wasn’t ObamaCare repealed? (You do know that monstrosity is what gave the federal gov’t control over student loans, right?). What happened to mass deportations of illegals? What happened to pretty much all the BEST parts of his campaign promises? Oh, right, he literally said that was all just campaign talk, not actual policy positions.
Almost everything truly good he did (and he DID do a lot that was very good), he did through executive order, which was all undone by Biden, is still being undone by Biden. That’s just not good enough.
I dislike his sense that the executive branch, the presidency in particular, is somehow superior to or more powerful than the other two COEQUAL branches of government.
He didn’t drain the swamp .He just made them more dug in and evil. He has no clue how to do it, and he’s still acting like he can.
After seeing the way he has treated pretty much everyone who has ever been in his orbit (as an appointee, an advisor, whatever), no one worth a damn will agree to work for or with him, nor should they. But what would his administration look like this time around? Third-rate desperados who will “yes” him to death, to the detriment of our country. How much do you have to hate yourself to agree to work for someone who will throw you under the bus the second you say something that is not completely groveling and full-throated praise? Shudder. That part of him really makes me extremely uncomfortable (and is why he’s definitely not on my list of people I’d have a beer with).
Anyway, that’s a start on why I am not on the Trump train. There’s more of course, but those are the biggies off the top of my head. I wish he were less ego, less self-absorbed and self-centered, but most pols are all about themselves and not a tiny bit about the people, so that’s not really about Trump (he’s just more open about his self-obsession, so it’s more obvious).
Hokum, pure hokum. A short list of things President Trump actually did:
1) stopped ISIS cold after saying he would
2) EO stopping the drug companies from charging medicare more than what they charged foreign countries
3) EO forcing hospitals to disclose their prices
4) Move the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem
5) ENERGY INDEPENDENCE for the first time in my lifetime of 70 years, and record low energy prices
6) Started no new wars
6A) Abraham Accords, bringing peace to the middle east instead of war
7) Elimination of regulations, required to eliminate 8 to add a new one
8) Cut Taxes across the board
9) Increased the individual tax credit eliminating the need to file more complicated returns
10) Started the space force, sorely needed today
11) Replaced NAFTA with an agreement better for American workers
12) Put tariffs on china, starting the process of moving American production out of the enemy’s land
13) Brought back massive amounts of money saved in foreign countries
14) Withdrew from the farce know as the Paris Climate Accords
15) Withdrew from the Iran deal
16) Increased the $$$ of the average family by over 5K
17) Started the process of fixing the VA
18) Increased the spending by other NATO countries
19) Killed the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)
20) Created several million jobs, actual creation not bafflegab bullshit
21) Economic growth rates were going up, somewhere around 4% before the marxist killed the economy with the scam chinaVirus
22) Lowest rate of unemployment ever, across the board for blacks, hispanics, asians, veterans, etc.
23) Opened ANWAR and had the Keystone pipeline being constructed
24) Shut down the flow of illegals into the USA to a level not seen since Eisenhower was in office
There is much more of course.
“unmitigated disaster, not just for America but for the world”
On what basis? I’m curious on your actual reasons. I can think of plenty which suggest the exact opposite
Ok, lets, for the sake of argument, just ignore Biden’s unmitigated corruption, growing dementia, long term inability (predating his dementia) to distinguish between facts and flights of fantasy when public speaking (ex : how many different sons with the same name would he have to had for all the various ways and places his own son died for them all to be true?), and growing power grabs in office.
Because I know you’re going to anyway.
Energy policies so bad we went from net energy independence back to being again dependent on imports from hostile states.
Inflation – also worse.
Illegal immigration – also worse.
Going from hampering the purses of opposing nation states like Russia and Iran to policies that actually help them financially.
Actually shipping pallets of money to Iran in particular.
Going from us declining new foreign military entanglements to avidly and freely choosing them.
Being so incompetent at military entanglements – both at start and stop – that it’s laughable.
Being so cozy with the press that you use only pre-scripted written question and answers so that “press conferences” and “interviews” are kabuki theatre.
Criminalization of political opposition.
Unprecedented and coordinated use of courts to interfere with the campaigning of your chief election opponent.
All of the above in less than 3 years.
Sorry, if I have to choose between boorish mean tweets and an incompetent moron the choice seems clear.
Never Biden.
Other than that, Bob, what did Trump ever do for us? 😂😂
1. Corruption – you mean the made up stories which have literally come from Russian intelligence services. Do try to be less gullible
2. Aging compared to Trump not really a big issue. The problem is many of the stories are inventions of the right, with camera cuts, distortions and outright lies in some cases. The only credible Dr’s calling anyone out are with respect to Trumps dementia
3. Power grabs, your own paranoi isn’t much of an argument
4. Energy policies, the US is more energy independent than ever.https://www.forbes.com/sites/rrapier/2023/05/02/us-energy-independence-soars-to-highest-levels-in-over-70-years/?sh=7bef022f977f
5. Inflation was caused by global factors predominantly and Biden has done a pretty good job of lowering inflation. Again citing moronic right wing talking points rather than reality isn’t much of an argument
6. Immigration, what the issue where republicans tanked meaningful reform. Sure buddy
7. Russia 🤦♂️ this is hilarious Trump the dictator loving authoritarian prick did nothing against Russia, Biden has along with international partners introduced heavy sanctions
8. Military entanglements I assume you mean the afghan withdrawal. Again hilarious, it was Trumps plan and Trump had already against military advice withdrawn many troops. It was a shit show directly because of Trump. Again your ignorance shows here.
9. Press. Not really seeing an argument here. Have you seen how Trump speaks, rambling doddering old fart who falls asleep.
10. Criminalisation of the opposition. Lols You really should read outside your bubble, Biden hasn’t done anything with respect to this, in fact any weaponisation of the justice system has been evidenced from Trunp. Trump wouldn’t be indicted if he hadn’t blatantly committed so many crimes. Do try to be less gullible.
@mailman
You do realise Bob only mentions 1 pro trump thing energy independence right? And that was a continuing trend.
Learn to read buddy
BrightSource was RFK’s last big grift attempt. It failed because he crossed Dowager Empress Dianne Feinstien. Mojave patronage was her domain. No one muscles the Dowager.
https://shorturl.at/nwGMW – green tech link from 2009.
NYT’s archive BrightSource; RFK Jr.
RFK is appealing to independent voters and so both Trump and Biden need to do a better job making their case to the voters. Simple as that . I for one will always respect RFK for his Fauci take down book during the height of COVID mania, but I’m not going to vote for him. He is a brave independent soul but I don’t agree with his stance on most policy issues , highlighting exactly why we need presidential debates , as I suspect most independent voters wouldn’t agree with him as he is far left on most issues.
There is no such thing as an independent voter.
I’m so old I remember how lovely and peaceful and safe the world was between 2016 and 2020.
Im anlso intelligent enough to realise just wow dangerous the world has become since 2020.
If you claim you’re an independent voter who hasn’t made their mind up which way your voting then you’re a fucking moron and deserve every once of shit that’s not only come your way since 2020 but what will continue to come your way as the world spirals towards a very dangerous period in its history that will only end in tears.
I am a registered independent
meaning I dont follow either party.
however I know who I am voting for in Nov. If they allow elections.
I will never respect RFK Jr for his horrible stance on the 2nd amendment. Also, his VP is horrible.
I am afraid that we will be dependent on weapons if things are not turned around.
IMHO, weapons are basically what is keeping things as stable as they are. We have always been dependent on them and that is why we have been stable for 250 years while Europe flip flops every decade or so.
Bingo
Agreed.
I disagree with the current most popular Kennedy on many many policy issues, gun control chief among them.
However……
Unlike most all of his fellow Dems (and not a few Reps) he can smell a lie under oath at 40 paces and will take offense – not ignore being lied to in testimony because The Lie is politically expedient to ignore.
Trump governed like a moderate Democrat (he very much believes in Big Government) and he writes like a middle schooler. Not voting for Biden or Trump and not voting for RFK either. Laugh about it, shout about it, when you’ve got to choose, every way you look at this, you lose
Great, since you refuse to vote, thank you for confirming that you have no political opinion on the matter ever worth hearing again.
So go quietly sit in a corner while the adults actually decide who is going to run the country.
If Trump governed like a “moderate Democrat” then I’m a moderate Democrat and we need more moderate Democrat governance!!
It’s good that you are in Alaska. Apparently your brain has frozen.
RFK has always been a far left lunatic, the libertarian idiots screaming that he would be a great VP pick for Trump were just either delusional Democrats trying to bargain with a Biden defeat, or people that just saw his vaccine stance and foolishly thought that meant he was somehow a ‘moderate’.
When I say lunatic, I mean it. A lot of the Democrats engage in incredibly destructive policies, but at the end of the day, they just want power.
RFK is actually lunatic enough to try and do all of the far left crazy list that they know they could never actually get away with like ban guns, make gas illegal for ‘climate’, ban gas cars, and a bunch of other crazy stuff.
Yea, you can’t say lunatic loud enough when speaking of kennedy junior.
NBC was trolling Trump and he took the bait,..If Jr were taking votes from the Dems, they wouldn’t be trying to keep him off of ballots, and denying him SS protection
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/democrats-mobilize-stop-rfk-jr-cutting-biden-rcna145952
Trump will always take the bait. It’s his biggest infirmity. He has zero message discipline.
And yet was a fantastic President who, if he had had a D after his name, would have received any number of Nobel peace prizes for actually doing shit for peace…unlike the guy who he replaced who got a gong for some pretty words written by someone else.
Have you considered that this is a play by Pres. Trump to keep RFK in the race, because he is a big drain on Biden?
Losers that hate Pres. Trump will vote for Biden anyway, but siphoning some off to RFK makes the job of taking America back from the socialists easier.
NBC wishcasting.
Agree
“His Views on Vaccines are FAKE”
To whatever extent RFK, Jr appeals to people who would otherwise (more likely) vote for Trump, it’s the COVID response and vaccine rollout where Trump has the greatest exposure. While it doesn’t get much coverage in more conventional conservative websites, like LI or DailyWire, Trump’s attitude on COVID remains unapologetic. He believes ‘Warp Speed’ was his greatest accomplishment – and says so routinely on the campaign trail – and has expressed little, if any remorse for how he turned the COVID taksforce over to people who were authoritarian losers, Mike Pence included.
I think if he takes the remainder of the campaign to address this issue and begins to include some contrite statements in his stump speeches on how COVID unfolded while he was in charge of the government, and gives some earnest assurances about how important lessons were learned, he wouldn’t have any RFK problem. It would largely negate that issue. That would be the smart thing, politically….something Trump often struggles with.
I enjoyed his book about Fauci. He exposed the COVID scam more thoroughly than any conservative, but I will vote for clown Trump.
Oops! I upvoted EHH before reading “clown Trump”. EHH is not a serious person. I think it’s an IQ thing.
Trump has better hair.
😂😂
We’ll know when the Democrats think RFK Jr. is more of a threat to Biden than to Trump when they authorize a security detail for him.
If Trump is stuck in NYC then once a week he should drop in to see the gang on “The Five and then for bonus points a weekly guest appearance on “Gutfeld!”
Add few visits to Veterans who have been displaced out of their homes by the illegal aliens and a take the kids who couldn’t play soccer because of the border issue to a coal fired pizza parlor.
While RFK has taken some interesting and surprising positions, he’s still pretty damned socialist and brought on flaming socialist as VP candidate.
Not someone I want to see anywhere near the levers of power.
