RFK Jr. and Trump have a long history together, and their relationship is…interesting. After backing out of the presidential race and endorsing Trump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is now doing the rounds and promoting the Trump campaign on podcasts and TV shows, and during a recent live event, he had something to say about his relationship with the former president that had everyone in stitches.
During the Reclaim America Tour event in Glendale, Arizona, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shared a humorous and personal story about his history with former President Donald Trump, drawing plenty of laughs from the audience. The Independent presidential candidate, sitting with former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, recounted his interactions with Trump long before endorsing him over Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race.
Kennedy began by explaining that he had known Trump for many years and had even sued him on two occasions when Trump attempted to build a golf course in the New York City reservoir watershed. “I sued him successfully to get him to stop that,” Kennedy said, to the amusement of the crowd.
The story took a more comical turn when Kennedy revealed a personal anecdote involving his wife at the time. He explained that she wanted to travel to Palm Beach for Easter but was looking for a free ride because he was unwilling to buy tickets for all their children. To his surprise, she told him she had found a free ride, and when he asked who, she replied, “Donald Trump.”
Kennedy admitted he was stunned and reminded her, “I’m suing him,” which further entertained the audience. But his wife told him Trump was aware of the lawsuit and was fine with it. Despite the legal conflict, Kennedy said he and his family flew with Trump and had a great time, adding humorously that he still continued to sue Trump afterward.
Kennedy also shared a more serious moment, recalling a conversation he had with Trump after the former president was shot at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump, in one of their calls, asked Kennedy if he was a religious person. Kennedy, expressing his belief in God and spirituality, said Trump responded by saying, “I think I believe in that, too, now.”
Kennedy noted that despite their differences, Trump often expresses affection for him in ways he finds both touching and amusing, adding that the former president has a way of making him laugh.
The story highlighted the unusual yet friendly relationship the two men have cultivated over the years, much to the delight of the crowd.
