Any illusions that Donald J. Trump would back away from his last-minute embrace of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. were shattered during his victory speech, when he assured his supporters that the anti-vaccine activist was “going to help make America healthy again.”
Some observers had hoped that Trump would discard his former rival for the presidency now that his endorsement had served its purpose. Instead, the president-elect suggested Kennedy would have wide latitude on the nation’s health agenda, saying, “Go have a good time, Bobby.”
