Trump’s bizarre comment about RFK Jr. as he battles cheating scandal
Donald Trump made a bizarre comment about RFK Jr. on Monday. at a town hall-style event in the Bronx, New York, in which he said he was big on “feminine things.”
Trump was asked a question about what he would do to ban artificial foods, but it seems the former president was thinking of other things.
When asked during the question-and-answer session at a local barbershop how Trump would ensure more organic food reaches urban and low-income areas, he rambled on about Robert F Kennedy Jr., who previously served as the former president supported.
“What is the plan to do about the food healthcare industry and banning artificial foods in urban communities that have less access to organic, whole foods?” came the question to Trump from a Bronx man.

Trump was answering questions during a question-and-answer session and talked about how he would ensure organic food reached urban and low-income areas when he took a walk on Robert F Kennedy Jr.
Trump, who loves his fast food and Diet Coke, suddenly started talking about RFK Jr.
“Bobby Kennedy, right? Everyone loves Bobby Kennedy. And he is so interested in healthy food and women’s issues. Everything. He wants to do things and the environment and he supported me,” Trump said.
‘He’s a great guy. He would be so perfect. He doesn’t like pesticides and all the things they put on them. We have plenty of food and our farmers are great. If you listen to him for ten minutes, I mean he’s saying other countries that are doing nothing [to their foods] are healthier than us.
‘Okay, we’re not that healthy, to put it mildly. We don’t want artificial food. I’ll leave Bobby Kennedy there. He’s a great guy. He cares more about food than anything,” he said.
Trump refers to the love of 70-year-old RFK Jr. for “women’s things,” weeks after he became embroiled in a sex scandal with 31-year-old New York magazine’s top political reporter Olivia Nuzzi.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his independent campaign for president in August and endorsed Donald Trump
RFK Jr. had a history of being something of a womanizer in the past.
On Monday, the outlet and Nuzzi mutually decided to “part ways” following reports that she had a personal digital relationship with a source during coverage of the 2024 campaign.
The magazine said Monday that its own internal investigation and an investigation by a law firm it retained found no problems with Nuzzi’s accuracy or bias.
“Nevertheless, the magazine and Nuzzi agreed that parting ways are the best path forward,” the publication said in a message on her websitethat framed it as an update for readers.
“Nuzzi is a uniquely talented writer and we are proud to have published her work during her nearly eight years as a Washington correspondent. We wish her the best.”
Last month the Status newsletter was published, which ruined the storyand The New York Times both cited unnamed sources to blame RFK Jr. identify as the person involved with Nuzzi.
She has not confirmed Kennedy’s involvement and Kennedy said in a statement that he met her only once.
New York magazine editor-in-chief David Haskell said in a letter to employees after the news broke that Nuzzi told them the relationship began last December, “after we published her November profile.”
On Monday, New York Magazine and Nuzzi jointly decided to “part ways” following reports that she had a personal digital relationship with a source during coverage of the 2024 campaign.
Nuzzi’s only published profile that month was of Kennedy. The relationship reportedly ended in August, Haskell wrote.
The publication said at the time that if Nuzzi had known about the relationship, it would not have been allowed to cover the presidential campaign.
Last month, Nuzzi said in a statement to Status that the nature of some communications between herself and a former reporter became personal early this year.
“During that time, I did not report directly on the subject or use them as a source,” she said.
‘The relationship was never physical, but should have been made public to avoid the appearance of a conflict. I deeply regret not doing so immediately and apologize to those I have disappointed, especially my colleagues in New York.”
