For the past year on the campaign trail, Donald Trump and Robert Kennedy Jr. have been giving each other compliments along the way.
This behavior is highly unusual for people campaigning against each other, at least these days.
It’s hard to find anything online with them speaking ill of one another.
Multiple times over the past year, they have been videoed praising each other for various reasons.

Is this some kind of brofest we’re witnessing, or is there more to it than that?
Trump’s position on the Biden administration has been clear for some time, but RFK has been making headlines on the campaign trail for calling out the administration’s history of influencing tech companies to censor the American public.
He recently stated that was far more dangerous to American democracy than anything Trump has ever done.

Is there perhaps a secret deal in place only these two men know about to get Trump into the White House?
Robert Kennedy is no fool; he knows he has a snowball’s chance in hell of winning the presidential election as a third-party candidate.
With his disdain for the Biden administration made obvious, is Kennedy vying for a cabinet position in the new Trump administration?
Either way, Kennedy’s run for the Oval Office is reminding people of another infamous third-party candidate who helped shape a previous election.

With RFK Jr. in the presidential race, Biden’s polls are darkening. Ross Perot despised George H.W. Bush and ran against him for POTUS in 1992. He got many votes, hurt Bush &helped Clinton get elected. Now we have Robert F Kennedy Jr., he could possibly ensure Biden’s defeat pic.twitter.com/EUptWsT3E1

NBC News recently reported on Kennedy calling Biden a threat to democracy:
In an interview on CNN, Kennedy argued that Biden “has used the federal agencies to censor political speech,” appearing to refer to a case before the Supreme Court that could affect the level of contact between government officials and social media companies regarding content removal.
Last month, a majority of Supreme Court justices appeared to be wary of arguments that the Biden administration was unlawfully telling social media platforms to take down problematic conduct.
“I can make the argument that President Biden is the much worse threat to democracy, and the reason for that is President Biden is the first candidate in history, the first president in history, that has used the federal agencies to censor political speech … to censor his opponent,” Kennedy said.
“I can say that because I just won a case in the federal court of appeals and now before that Supreme Court that shows that he started censoring,” Kennedy also said.
