'End in disaster': Conspiracy theory expert warns Trump is courting disaster with RFK Jr.

Conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. last week gave his support to former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.However, conspiracy theory expert Mike Rothschild believes that the former president should be careful what he wishes for.In analyzing the new Trump-Kennedy alliance, Rothschild points out that Kennedy will do very little to attract the kinds of swing voters that Trump needs to beat Vice President Kamala Harris."Most people, Democrats and Republicans alike, think Kennedy is an irrelevant weirdo, to the point where the Harris campaign wanted nothing to do with him," Rothschild, who has written several books about QAnon and other conspiracists, notes. "There might be some crossover between the two in the health freedom/Tucker Carlson community, full of people who think vaccines are poison, seed oils are worse than Hitler, an all meat diet will keep you alive forever, skin cancer isn’t real, and the medical establishment’s job is to keep you fat and sick. This crowd is loud, but small — and while they might like both Trump and RFK, they were already overwhelmingly going for Trump."ALSO READ: A Fox News host's debunked election conspiracy appears to have prompted a Texas probeRothschild then posits that the Trump-Kennedy alliance "is much more likely to end in disaster than in triumph" given the composition of RFK Jr.'s fan base.In particular, he observes that many Kennedy supporters are openly saying that they feel betrayed by their candidate for throwing his weight behind Trump, whom they dislike specifically for his support of Operation Warp Speed, which helped speed up the development for vaccines for the novel coronavirus."Ultimately, this should strangle any sort of Trump/Kennedy union," he contends. "If you back Operation Warp Speed, you can’t support Kennedy, and if you support Kennedy, you can’t back Operation Warp Speed. We all know conspiracy theorists excel at finding space in these sorts of logical nightmares, but if Trump is behind a genocide jab, and Kennedy endorses Trump, what does that say about Kennedy? Nothing good, I’d imagine."Rothschild also believes Trump will regret taking on the large amounts of baggage Kennedy carries, such as his infamous stunt that involved planting a dead bear in Central Park."Trump will trot Kennedy out as a prop a few times, then the uncomfortable questions will start coming, and Trump will pretend he’s never met Kennedy," he concludes.
