RFK Jr. Goes Full MAGA After Trump Endorsement — Says MAGA ‘Recalls a Nation Brimming with Vitality’

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fully embraced former President Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan Sunday less than 48 hours after suspending his independent campaign and endorsing the GOP nominee’s third White House bid.
Once a critic of Trump, Kennedy took to his X (formerly Twitter) page on Sunday morning to offer an impassioned explanation of what “MAGA” meant to him.
Kennedy tweeted:
“What ‘MAGA’ really means.” He continued:
The phrase has troubled liberals who think it is a call for a return to an America before civil rights, gay rights, and women’s rights. But I have a more generous interpretation, one that is truer to my experience of Donald Trump as he is today. “Make America Great Again” recalls a nation brimming with vitality, with a can-do spirit, with hope and a belief in itself. It was an America that was beginning to confront its darker shadows, could acknowledge the injustice in its past and present, yet at the same time could celebrate its successes. It was a nation of broad prosperity, the world’s most vibrant middle class, and a idealistic belief (though not consistently applied) in freedom, justice, and democracy. It was a nation that led the world in innovation, productivity, and technology. And it was the healthiest country in the world. I have talked to many Trump supporters. I have talked with his inner circle. I have talked to the man himself. This is the America they want to restore.
Kennedy has gone all-in on Trump’s White House bid since Friday after he accused his former party of rigging the Democratic primary and freezing him out of the election process.
As a former critic of Trump, Kennedy allegedly questioned the former president’s humanity as recently as last month. The New Yorker reported the political scion referred to Trump as a “terrible human being” who was “probably a sociopath” while attending the Republican National Convention.
