I like the fact ...

Well, the orange one is backing Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the eminently qualified health secretary,
on two facts, 1, he's a Kennedy and two, he's different. Works for me, how about you?

WASHINGTON, Sept 6 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump is standing by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary who is upending the U.S. healthcare system, despite congressional pressure, public health concerns and the political risks of changing vaccine policies nationwide.

Since becoming the top U.S. health official, Kennedy has slashed funding for vaccine research, limited access for COVID-19 shots and ousted the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which makes U.S. vaccine recommendations.

The consequences of those changes for Americans and their wellness are vast, public health professionals warn. They also carry possible political peril: If an outbreak of an infectious disease occurs after vaccination rates go down, Trump could be blamed.

But the president so far has been steadfast in his support for Kennedy, according to sources familiar with their relationship, underscoring Trump's willingness to take a proverbial sledgehammer to the U.S. healthcare system, just as he has to academia, the law, the media and other institutions throughout U.S. society.

"He's a, a very good person ... and he means very well, and he's got some little different ideas," Trump told reporters on Thursday at the White House after lawmakers grilled Kennedy at a hearing earlier in the day. "If you look at what's going on in the world with health, and look at this country also with regard to health, I like the fact that he's different."
