  2. He is and always has been. Only his name got him that far . 

  3. Of course he can be that stupid. If he didn’t have that last name, he would be your dumb uncle who spouts bullshit at holidays that no one likes.

  5. There was an entire movie about an autistic old person in the 80s. I’m pretty sure it won awards and everything. Maybe RFKJr was too busy molesting whale carcasses to have noticed?

  6. Guess what dummy, older people are just undiagnosed.

  7. He’s a long time heroin addict with holes in his brain from worms he caught eating roadkill. The only thing he’s really known for is being a complete whackjob conspiracy theorist.

    He absolutely is this stupid, and has been forever.

    If it wasn’t for his last name, he’d just be another insane guy waving a cardboard sign.

  8. “He cannot be this stupid.” I implore anyone who thinks this to go watch his confirmation hearings.

    Edit: Actually, watch all the administrations confirmation hearings. They are all vile, unqualified, or complete idiots and any combination of those factors.

  9. Everything his father stood for is just soiled by this drug addicted psychopath

  10. Is Barron Trump autistic? If so, is he capable of getting a job or holding a relationship?

  11. THIS is the thing that made people realize RFK Jr is unfit and stupid?

  13. Temple Grandin is a very famous autistic person, a very successful one, who is only a few years older than him, so a fellow older Boomer.

    And, Grandin knows not to eat roadkill.

  14. It’s almost like older people didn’t have easy access to diagnosis back then, and do in fact have more autism than they think but won’t know unless they go to get diagnosed ???????

  15. He doesn’t believe in vaccines, he eats roadkill, and he had a worm in his brain. I don’t know why people are surprised by how immensely stupid he is.

  16. Yeah man back in the day the diagnosis was just ‘that boy ain’t right’ 🙄

  17. I am a direct support professional and work around and take care of men his age who have autism and are high functioning. They work, pay taxes, and go on dates. I could go on. It is infuriating when we have people like him talking about this topic as if he knows a fucking thing about people with mental disabilities. He can be and is very fucking stupid.

  22. Of course he can be that stupid. That stupid was a prerequisite for getting hired into Trump’s cabinet.

  23. What I think has been the most surprising part of all this is just how monstrously stupid these people are. Don’t get me wrong, I thought they were fucking stupid. I had very low expectations. But not even I could comprehend just how fucking stupid these helmet wearers are. Like, you seriously have to question if these people get dressed by themselves. How they breathe through their nose at all is a mystery. Monkeys are better statesman. They can’t tie their own shoes. They’re fucking evil fascists, how the fuck can democrats not outmaneuver these simpletons ?

  24. Plus, he’s describing them all with every, most extreme condition you might find. He’s picturing some moaning blob i in a corner that can’t do anything, but there is a wide range of how it presents. It is thought based on his early childhood that Eistein had autism. Hannah Gadsby, Eminem, Satoshi Tajiri (creator of Pokemon), Temple Grandin, Tim Burton, Greta Thunberg, etc…. have various forms. He is very small minded and sticks to his predetermined ideas… Perfect for running medical studies and health for us.

  25. The guy has the entire health department at his fingertips with all the reports and studies and experts he can ever wish for.

    And he uses NONE of it.

  26. Like his boss, RFK is an incurious idiot. The most charitable interpretation I can make is that he was using the definition of autism pre-DSM-III or DSM-IV, where only the most severe, low-functioning cases were deemed as autism and higher functioning cases were just never diagnosed or labeled as Asperger’s instead. Even there, there has been consistent evidence that early intervention and treatment helps even cases deemed severe that would have been locked away or viewed as doomed and untreatable. The whole stance is just unfathomable for someone in charge of American medical research.

  27. “Why is autism not happening in older adults?”

    His boss knows the answer to this: if you don’t test, you have fewer cases.

  28. Well, he is that stupid, just like the rest of the trump administration.

  30. Joe Kennedy had his daughter Rosemary lobotomized at the age of 23, basically because she was different than the other Kennedy kids. Whether she had autism or not idk, but she was different. The procedure went terribly. She was left with the mental capacity of a toddler and could no longer care for herself. She lived the rest of her life in psychiatric hospitals and nursing homes. Her situation was kept secret for years. She had the procedure in the 40s and she died in the 00s. All that time. Shit’s messed up.

    Rosemary was RFK Jr.’s aunt, btw.

  31. One of the dumbest people walking earth. His father would have put a gun in his own mouth if he knew his son was going to be this dumb.

  32. It’s so ironic that he’s secretary of health because every time I see him I’m shocked by how unhealthy he looks

  33. Oh, I think he is that stupid.

    This man would lose a battle of wits with a cheese sandwich.

  34. The sad thing about this is his aunt, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, was a huge advocate for people with disabilities and created the Special Olympics. She would be very disappointed in him displaying this kind of behavior.

  35. # ‘He Cannot Be This Stupid’

    He wasn’t hired for the role on competence. He was hired for lapdog loyalty, and you don’t need skill for that.

  36. RFKJR: People with autism will never pay taxes.

    Elon Musk has autism and doesn’t pay taxes.

    On a serious note, this entire administration needs to be investigated, tried, and properly punished. They call themselves MAGA but are really MAWO (Make America Worse Off).

  37. He’s not stupid, he’s evil.

    I know it’s sometimes hard to tell the difference these days.

  39. That one uncle who despite a relatively stable career has been single his whole life and has thousands of dollars worth of model trains and miniature landscapes? Yeah turns out he’s autistic but was never diagnosed because *no one knew that autism had a spectrum* back then. It was either “well he’s nonverbal but isn’t deaf, so he’s autistic” or “ma’am your kid can talk just fine. He’s not autistic he’s just weird.”

  40. Does the older generation not remember the classmate who fidgeted and couldn’t sit still, even if scolded for it? Or the one who one day had a “tantrum” because it was too loud?  Or the co-worker who didn’t say much and was considered an odd duck, but their reports had meticulous attention to detail? What about that quiet older neighbor who sat on their porch each day with their pet cat and waited for the trains to pass by? 

    Chances are at least some of them were, and still are, autistic, they’re just undiagnosed. If you were to describe autistic experiences to them now, they may even say “wait, you’re telling me most people don’t do x?”

  41. > “Have you ever seen anyone…71 years old, with full-blown autism?” Kennedy asked. “Head-banging, nonverbal, non-toilet trained, spinning, toe-walking…these other stereotypical features?”

    >”Where are these people walking around the mall? You can’t find them,” he said. “They’re not in homes, there are no homes for them, there are no institutions… anybody can look around and see that this is a canard.”

    Bro literally your aunt. Where did they put your damn aunt?

  42. Ever notice how no one died from cancer hundreds of years ago? What changed? /s

  43. Oh, he’s touted as “unfit” after *THAT* rant, eh? Not the rant about how Jews & African-Americans were suspiciously immune from Covid, or any of the 500 other lunatic rants he’s been on over the past 4 years – it’s *THIS* rant that deems him unfit.

    The dude has been unfit from the get-go.

  45. The Kennedy genetic line is riddled with mental and physical illness. The heroin sure doesn’t help either.

  46. Trump’s 2nd term will go down in history as one of the most rediculous government to ever held power in the history of mankind.
