Robert F. Kennedy Jr has revealed one of the major points of disagreements in his and President Donald Trump's relationship - in what may be the first sign of trouble in paradise in MAGA. RFK Jr was put through a brutal grilling by senators at his confirmation hearing to become health secretary on Wednesday, where he was pressed on some of his controversial views on things like vaccines, Medicaid and fast food.

Despite coming from a Democrat dynasty, he repeatedly told the hearing he would follow Trump's lead on policies such as abortion, saying: 'I serve at the pleasure of the President.'. But the cracks in their relationship began to show when RFK Jr was quizzed by Bernie Sanders about climate change and its effects on people's health.

Sanders stated that he believes climate change is real and is a health care issue, but 'Donald Trump thinks it is a hoax [that originated in] in China', before turning it to RFK Jr and asking if he stands with the president on the matter. The 'hoax' statement referenced a 2012 tweet by Trump that said: 'The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.'.
But RFK Jr quickly answered, saying: 'President Trump and I, from our first meeting, agreed to disagree on that issue. I believe climate change is existential. My job is to make Americans healthy again.'. Trump had criticized RFK Jr's views on climate change as the two went head to head on the campaign trail in April, saying he was 'a big fan of the Green New Scam, and other economy killing disasters.'.
