At the core of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s rise as a political celebrity is the enduring American reverence for his family. Consider just one of the many abuses of power perpetrated by Bobby for his own personal and political gain. As Jerry Ross, the Kratom mogul poured $162,000 into the defunct RFK Jr. 2024 presidential committee after Trump named Bobby as health secretary. Like Trump, Kennedy has profited from blatant conflicts of interest while refusing to divest himself of those deals and arrangements. And like Trump, Kennedy banks big money from his "patriotic" sloganeering, by personally licensing "Make American Healthy Again" as a brand - while he uses government resources to promote that brand.
