Word on the street is Trump is already annoyed at the sideshow RFK is creating and may just dump him.

Now, I think some of that is wishful thinking from the media, or them writing something based on loose rumors that they know will get enormous clicks, or something that may make Trump change his mind. But at the same time, Trump is pretty well known for making promises to people when they're useful and immediately dumping them when they're not, and in this case, he'd probably find someone worse than RKFJr, like putting Nick Fuentes or Andrew Tate in charge of it. But it'd still be hysterical for that to happen to RFK.

I have already been suggesting this is a strong possibility.

Trump cannot tolerate anyone else grandstanding and claiming the spotlight. He's also not going to like if there is strong and broad backlash against stuff RFK Jr. (or for that matter Musk who wants to gut government spending and cause pain) does or proposes. Both of those are grandstanders who also want the spotlight.

Trump would rather put someone quietly incompetent in charge of something - as he did with putting Louis DeJoy in charge of the Postal Service.
