FROM BREITBART: President Donald Trump responded to the political establishment’s attacks on Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., saying he has “a lot of good ideas.”
Kennedy took action last month to rescind the emergency use authorizations for coronavirus vaccines, while keeping vaccines available for Americans who desire them after consulting with their physicians. He also noted he is demanding placebo-controlled trials from drug companies. Trump notably demanded transparency from drug companies regarding the effectiveness of coronavirus treatments last week.
Breitbart News caught up with the president during a press gaggle on the South Lawn of the White House on Sunday, before he departed for the U.S. Open final, asking for his thoughts on the slew of attacks on Kennedy, which have come from the likes of twice-failed presidential candidate Chris Christie, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and others.
“Well, he’s a different kind of a guy,” Trump said. “He’s got a lot of good ideas, but he’s got a lot of ideas.
“You know, normally, they don’t have any ideas, and that’s why we have problems with autism and so many other things, because we’re coming up with the answers for autism. You watch.
“We’re coming up with the answers for other things that normal people, regular people, easy to get along with people, wouldn’t be able to do. He’s got a lot of ideas, and so do I, and we’re going to clean it up,” Trump added.

In a post on X in late August, Kennedy declared:
I promised 4 things:
1. to end covid vaccine mandates.
2. to keep vaccines available to people who want them, especially the vulnerable.
3. to demand placebo-controlled trials from companies.
4. to end the emergency.
In a series of FDA actions today we accomplished all four goals. The emergency use authorizations for Covid vaccines, once used to justify broad mandates on the general public during the Biden administration, are now rescinded.
FDA has now issued marketing authorization for those at higher risk: Moderna (6+ months), Pfizer (5+), and Novavax (12+). These vaccines are available for all patients who choose them after consulting with their doctors.
The American people demanded science, safety, and common sense. This framework delivers all three.
