6. Trump did make it public he would have nothing to do with oil.

Kennedy said Monday that Trump has promised him “control” of the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture, according to a video obtained by POLITICO.

“He also has a big thing on the environment,” Trump said Wednesday of Kennedy.

“I’ll tell you what, I said: ‘That’s OK, but you can’t touch our liquid gold,’” Trump said. “He’s very strong on, you know, the pesticides and all of the different things.”

“He says, ‘We’re going to make it a healthy country.’ I said, ‘Good, Bobby, but do me one favor: Don’t touch the oil and gas. Let me handle that. I’ll handle the oil and gas.’ We’re not going to let him get involved,” Trump said.


Some of the most prominent national environmental groups earlier this year publicly disavowed Kennedy, who was running for president as an independent candidate at that time. The groups called Kennedy a “dangerous conspiracy theorist and science denier” who could pave the way for Trump to return to office.
