Trump's Best Post-Presidency Speech Isn't Enough to Change My Vote From RFK Jr
Do we want another term of symptomatic treatment under Trump, or are we ready for the deep, necessary changes that Kennedy promises?
Last night's RNC speech by Donald Trump was, without a doubt, his best since leaving the White House. His delivery was heartfelt, his message was disciplined, and he painted a clear vision for what his second term could look like. But as impressive as Trump was, I remain steadfast in my support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Here's why.
Trump’s speech highlighted his humanity and showcased a focus and discipline that, frankly, we haven’t always seen from him. He touched on critical issues, promising to alleviate the symptoms of our nation's problems. From economic challenges to border security, Trump laid out a plan for immediate, albeit temporary, relief.
However, this is precisely where Trump falls short. His approach is akin to slapping a Band-Aid on a festering wound. Sure, it might stop the bleeding momentarily, but it doesn’t address the underlying infection. Trump’s proposals are designed to provide short-term fixes, much like his first term in office. Remember the tax cuts? They boosted the economy temporarily but did nothing to address the systemic issues plaguing our financial system. His immigration policies? They created headlines but failed to develop a sustainable, long-term strategy for border security and immigration reform.
In contrast, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s platform goes after the root problems. Kennedy understands that our nation’s issues are deeply embedded in the corruption and collusion between big corporations and the government. His campaign is about dismantling this unholy alliance, starting with Big Pharma and the military-industrial complex. He’s not just talking about regulating pharmaceutical companies; he’s talking about fundamentally restructuring how they operate and are held accountable. This isn't about quick fixes; it's about deep, systemic change.
Take healthcare, for example. Trump’s approach has been to tweak Obamacare and lower drug prices temporarily. Kennedy, on the other hand, wants to overhaul the entire healthcare system to eliminate the influence of Big Pharma and ensure that public health, not profit, is the primary focus. This means stringent regulations, transparency, and accountability that would prevent the kind of price gouging and unethical practices we’ve seen for decades.
Then there's the issue of government overreach and personal liberties. Trump talks a good game about draining the swamp, but during his presidency, the swamp only grew murkier. He failed to hold accountable those within his administration who were part of the problem. Kennedy’s record and campaign promises show a relentless pursuit of accountability and transparency. He aims to dismantle the deep state machinery that undermines our constitutional liberties.
Let’s talk about environmental policies. Trump’s approach has been to roll back regulations to spur economic growth, but this has often come at the expense of long-term environmental health. Kennedy, an environmental lawyer, has dedicated his life to fighting pollution and protecting our natural resources. His policies are not about sacrificing the environment for short-term gains but about creating sustainable economic practices that protect our planet for future generations.
Education is another area where the contrast is stark. Trump's focus has been on school choice and reducing federal control, which are important steps but do not address the core issues within our education system. Kennedy advocates for a complete overhaul of how education is funded and managed, ensuring that all children, regardless of their background, have access to quality education. This includes addressing the root causes of educational disparities, such as poverty and community disinvestment.
Lastly, consider the COVID-19 pandemic response. Trump’s administration was marked by chaotic messaging and a focus on quick fixes like Operation Warp Speed. Kennedy has been a vocal critic of the handling of the pandemic, advocating for transparency, accountability, and a reassessment of public health policies to prevent future crises. He’s not just about managing the current pandemic but ensuring we are better prepared for the next one by addressing the root causes of public health vulnerabilities.

In essence, if you want temporary relief, Trump is your guy. His solutions will alleviate symptoms, giving the illusion of progress while leaving the root problems untouched. But if you're looking for long-term solutions that tackle the underlying issues head-on, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is the candidate who will deliver. He’s not interested in quick fixes or superficial changes; he’s committed to real, substantive reform that will ensure our nation’s problems are resolved at their core.
The choice is clear. Do we want another term of symptomatic treatment under Trump, or are we ready for the deep, necessary changes that Kennedy promises? For me, the answer is unequivocal. It's time to address the root problems and ensure a brighter, more sustainable future for our nation. Kennedy is the man for that job.
Totally agree!!
Every vote not for Trump is essentially a vote for Biden or who ever the DemonRats put out there. I actually see Trump making some position available for RFK Jr. Don’t be that guy.
