Pictured seated from left to right: Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., with House Speaker Mike Johnson standing behind on the right.

RFK Jr. famously doesn’t eat processed food, and explained why in a video he posted barely a month ago:

Trump could have easily accommodated RFK Jr.’s dietary preferences: “not junk food.” But he didn’t, for two key reasons.
