RFK has been sell his endorsement to both campaigns. And it looks like ‘ol transactional Trump is buy’n.

Trump will gladly take votes in exchange for appointing a conspiracy theory nut to some sort of administrative health and science position.

I don't disagree with you, but I think what is even more likely is Trump will promise him a cabinet position in exchange for dropping out, but he won't actually follow through with it.

Like Chris Christie.

So last week, angling for position in a Harris admin. This week, likely dropping out and supporting Trump. This guy is giving Lindsey Graham a run for "best political windsock" awards.

If he endorses Trump, I hope the Harris campaign releases hidden footage of him showing up to beg for a cabinet position.

The spoils system ended with the assassination of Garfield.

They could always use someone to handle road kill meats.

Didn't he admit to having some sort of brain damage or mental issue?

Not saying that is a problem in general, but more that he's completely unhinged.
