The intention here is crystal clear to those who do not pretend.  Robert F Kennedy Jr’s son, release a recording of a conversation between President Trump and RFK Jr.  The intent of the leak was to stop RFK Jr from forming an alliance of any interest with the Donald Trump.

The roots of the Kennedy clan tree are doing what the Kennedy clan does, regardless of what the RFK Jr branch of the tree wants to do; remember this.

According to most media reports, the conversation took place on Monday the first day of the RNC convention, prior to President Trump announcing JD Vance as his vice-presidential running mate.   Further reports indicate President Trump and RFK Jr also met in Milwaukee later on.

WASHINGTON – […] Trump spoke with Kennedy before he announced Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) as his running mate during Day 1 of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. In the leaked call, Trump could be heard on speakerphone saying he agrees with some of Kennedy’s stances on vaccines.

Trump could also be heard saying he would love for the long-shot candidate to “do something,” adding it would be “so good” for Kennedy. Trump also told him “we’re going to win,” according to the footage. (link)

You can see the video and hear the audio in this clip below, as shared by The Hill (prompted):

Apparently, this recorded conversation was leaked by the Kennedy clan after RFK JR and President Trump met in person.  A really low-brow and underhanded move by the people around RFK Jr.

POLITICO – Former President Donald Trump met this morning in Milwaukee with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to discuss the possibility of the independent candidate endorsing the Republican nominee, according to multiple people familiar with the huddle.

Asked about the meeting and a potential endorsement, Kennedy denied that he plans to drop out of the race. (more)

The intention of the leak is to ensure there is no national “coming together” between Donald Trump and Robert F Kennedy Jr.  Therein lies the core of what many people will pretend not to accept.  The tribalism of clans is generational and forms the root of their identity.

Robert F Kennedy Jr apologized to Donald Trump for what his team did.

The point I would drive home from this example is something few people truly understand.

When evil wants to manifest deception it uses virtue as a weapon.

Wicked, dare I say “evil” people do not just look for positions of vulnerability or compromise in their targets, they also look at the virtues a person holds and use those virtues as a weapon.   Virtues like love, compassion and even forgiveness are exploited to retain illicit enterprise.

For far too long conservative Americans have fallen victim to the political strategy of those who use virtue as a weapon.  This is the core reality behind the saying, “never trust a never-Trumper.”

Unfortunately, when you choose to engage the opposition, you must remind yourself that you are constantly dealing with masks.  President Trump is obviously trying through his campaign to unite the country in common good; however, those who benefit from retention of the status quo will deploy every scheme to undermine such an attempt.

Accept things as they are, not as we would wish or project them to be.

There are trillions at stake.

“It ought to be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things. Because the innovator has for enemies all those who have done well under the old conditions, and lukewarm defenders in those who may do well under the new.

This coolness arises partly from fear of the opponents, who have the laws on their side, and partly from the incredulity of men, who do not readily believe in new things until they have had a long experience of them.”

~ Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince
