Robert F. Kennedy Jr. hit back at former President Trump following his “barely coherent” rant on TruthSocial Friday night targeting the Independent presidential candidate.

“When frightened men take to social media they risk descending into vitriol, which makes them sound unhinged,” Kennedy said Saturday in a social media post on X. “President Trump’s rant against me is a barely coherent barrage of wild and inaccurate claims that should best be resolved in the American tradition of presidential debate.”

Kennedy’s rebuttal comes as Trump went after the independent White House candidate in a series of TruthSocial posts published on Friday. The former president argued the independent candidate has been inserted in the field to help President Biden and that his running mate, Nichole Shanahan, is not a serious vice presidential pick.

Kennedy praised Trump as a debater, but said he does not have to be “panicked” to exchange ideas on the podium. “President Trump, who has proven himself the most adept debater in modern American political history, should not be panicked to meet me on that stage,” Kennedy said.

1. Ha-ha!

... He believes Trump is, "the most adept debater in modern American political history," huh? Well, this proves RFK Jr is a liar. Also, he knows Trump well. I'd love to see a DJT vs RFK debate... Biden would win!

3. "I'd love to see a DJT vs RFK debate... Biden would win!"

DUzy!

18. This!

[Traildogbob]

29. I'd like to

See RFK Jr and Sauer, trumps immunity lawyer, sing Bohemian Rhapsody in harmony. 😵‍💫🫨

[Traildogbob]

28. That alone

Should disqualify Kennedy from roaming in public without assistance. He is off the cliff loony. No nukes near him ever.

[patricia92243]

2. Kennedy said about Trump: The most adept debater in modern American politics

Where was I when this happened? Trumps actual debates are mediocre at best. Maybe Kennedy meant Trump's one-sided rallies.

[Earth-shine]

5. I think RFKjr meant the way Trump could out-insult the other candidates at the Republican primary debates.

[TheRickles]

9. I think he's appealing to Trump's ego in order to lure Trump into inviting him to a big-time debate with Trump and Biden

It may be his best chance to get on the big stage.

[BlueKota]

26. I agree! It comes across as reverse psychology poke to me.

[emulatorloo]

15. Yeah I think RFK jr has Trump confused w Joe Biden.

[mzmolly]

19. Trump debates like the narcissist he is.

He's a master of deflection. That's not a debate skill is it?

[Harker]

4. No puppet... No puppet. You're the puppet. n/t

[Walleye]

6. I can't help but remember the eloquent soaring oration of his uncle Teddy in the Senate

[Bucky]

17. I think we need to give up the notion that Bob Jr has any measure of the family charm

Honestly, the most passion I've ever seen him speak is when he defended Israel's right to launch its reckless over the top retaliation against Palestinian neighborhoods.

And unlike his father, he's only against things. He doesn't offer any compelling vision of or solutions for today's problems. That's the most unKennedy thing about him.

[Captain Zero]

31. And his voice sounds like gravel

In a concrete mixer.
If RFK AND Trump would debate each other first before any debate with Biden, Biden could say he watched it and then just say he is not debating either one of them.

[Bucky]

33. He says his voice changed... wait for it... cause of a flu vaccine 😆 ISYN

But it is a known side effect of those testosterone shots he's been getting

[3Hotdogs]

7. Trump is now scared of Robert taking votes from him.

There was no mention of RFK until the poll last week that showed him taking votes from Trump.

[JohnSJ]

8. Anyone who saw RFK jr on Bill Maher, he was pathetic

[Tree Lady]

22. He said he has family on his side

and that there are 105 family members. So I am assuming his kids and wife on his side maybe a few others so 95 against?

[TNNurse]

10. Anyone who describes Trump as

"the most adept debater in modern American political history" should not be taken seriously.
And that is just one example of this man's bizarre ideas.

[Vinca]

11. Rats devouring each other.

[PSPS]

12. Good grief. He's even misusing the appellation "president trump."

[tanyev]

13. I knew that bromance would implode.

Kind of wish Kennedy had been picked as Trump’s VP before it happened, though.

[Mopar151]

32. He's hoping for Hubert Humphery' path , particularly

If A) Trump. Is clapped in Irons
B) If Stinky shorts out worse
C) The MAGA throw a hate block on Nikki

[Marthe48]

14. Maybe rfk meant master debater

Makes more sense

[Harker]

20. Nice touch. n/t

[Marthe48]

21. Jr. High humor is okay, I hope

I like the subtle irony in your reply

[Harker]

24. Good wordplay ought to be better acknowledged.

I think people who groan at puns are, largely, people who are incapable of applying them.

[Marthe48]

25. I heard that groans are a good response to puns

Especially if they are so bad they're good

[Bucky]

16. Good Lord but Froggy and Stinky so deserve each other

[LetMyPeopleVote]

23. RFK JR's donors are the same donors as Trumps'. Look at his friends in the picture below.

30. I did not realize that Bob's poor wife committed suicide

Said to be in part by the 38 affairs he had in one single year. That poor woman. What in the hell is he thinking about running for Office with such a horrible fact in his history?

[DFW]

27. Bobby's uncle would have stomped Trump in any debate

To call Trump “the most adept debater” only proves that is not playing with a full deck.

[Mopar151]

34. Barack Obama

Should moderate! There should be a.judging system for lies, half truths, or ducking the question.

Special guest referees? ( Phil Scott, and Elizabeth Warren )The judging panel? (Al Franken, chief judge, Jim Jordan, token Dumbass!)
Seargeant At Arms? ( The Rock Dwayne Johnson might be good here)
