Trump Spent His Whole Weekend Panicking About RFK Jr. Taking Votes Away From Him

As multiple new polls have shown that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is now taking more votes away from Donald Trump than President Biden, Trump is starting to freak out at the possibility that his monster could devour him. Kennedy's campaign has been hyped for a long time by Trump's closest allies, and now they are realizing that they've created the very beast that could end up destroying them in November. Poetic justice as its finest, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

We had a flurry of new polls come out last week that showed us that Robert F. Kennedy Jr's independent presidential bid is actually sucking away more voters from Donald Trump than it is from President Biden. And I guess after his week in court last week, Donald Trump finally looked at those polls and he immediately started to freak out. He then proceeded to freak out, not just on Friday evening, but all through the weekend. Donald Trump was freaking out about RFK Jr taking more votes away from him than Biden. And this comes by the way, just like a couple weeks after Donald Trump said, Hey, if I were a Democrat, I'd vote for the guy. But here is what Donald Trump put in a series of posts on just Friday evening. We'll get into the rest of the weekend in a minute, Friday evening, he says, A vote for Junior would essentially be a wasted protest vote that could swing either way, but would only swing against the Democrats if Republicans knew the true story about him.

I lived with RFK Junior in New York and watched him convince Governor Cuomo to make environmental moves that were outright nasty. 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. No thanks. Um, I do agree with you actually about the vaccine thing, um, but you're freaking out. And what I love about this is that the same thing that happened with Bobby Kennedy is the same thing that happened with Donald Trump, right? Think about it. Back in 2016, this new thing came out called Donald Trump, the candidate. And uh, you know, after a while the Republican machine started to be like, okay, okay, this guy can win. Let's, let's hype it up.

Let's build it up. So they created this monster, and now that monster has destroyed the Republican party and completely taken it over. Now, you fast forward eight years, actually seven years, because last year you had all of Donald Trump's friends worried that he wouldn't beat President Biden. So what if we create this thing, right? Trump was a monster that was created. What if we create our own monster to go after the Democrats, right? To take a chunk outta their votes. So Steve Bannon hyped him up. Roger Stone hyped up Bobby, they helped create this. Fox News helped hype him up. All of these Trump allies hyping up Bobby Kennedy Jr. And then suddenly that monster that the monster created is doing the same thing the original Monster did. Like, oh, well, I'm just gonna destroy your party. So I love it. This is such beautiful poetic justice for the Republican party, but as I said, it didn't end there. Trump continued into the weekend, including on Sunday morning where

He posted this. I actually watched first time in a long time, ratings challenged Bill Maher's, really boring interview with RFK Junior last night only to find that Junior is far more liberal than Mar and in fact, far more liberal than anyone running as a Democrat, including Weston Stein. Yet despite this, he has no hope as a Democrat because they were able to use their typically fascist tactics to, of repression, to throw him out of the party like a dog Uhoh. Don't tell Christie Nome that because he was taking primary votes away from the worst president in the history of our country.
