**Trump Hints at Key Role for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in Potential New Administration**

In a recent phone interview with NBC News, former President Donald Trump revealed his intention to assign Robert F. Kennedy Jr. a significant position if he secures victory on Tuesday. Despite Kennedy's history of promoting controversial views on public health, Trump remains open to his ideas and potential contributions.

Kennedy, who initially ran as an independent candidate before dropping out to endorse Trump, has garnered attention over the years for spreading unfounded theories about vaccines. He has repeatedly linked vaccines to autism, a claim that numerous studies have consistently debunked.

When questioned about the possibility of banning certain vaccines during a potential second term, Trump did not dismiss the notion outright. "Well, I'm going to talk to [Kennedy] and other people, and I'll make a decision, but he's a very talented guy and has strong views," Trump stated.

Though specific roles for Kennedy in a Trump administration remain unspecified, Trump has alluded to Kennedy's involvement in several public events. During an Arizona event, Trump mentioned Kennedy’s potential involvement in health-related areas, including women's health. Sources within the Trump campaign also suggested that Kennedy might focus on combating chronic childhood diseases.

Further stirring the waters, Kennedy proposed on Twitter that a Trump administration would aim to ban fluoride in water, labeling it "industrial waste" linked to severe health issues. Trump appeared receptive to the idea, commenting, "Well, I haven't talked to him about it yet, but it sounds okay to me."

The Trump campaign has increasingly embraced Kennedy and his fringe perspectives. Howard Lutnick, the co-chair of Trump’s transition team, recently praised Kennedy and raised doubts about the safety of vaccines. Likewise, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, Trump’s running mate, shared his own skepticism about the COVID-19 vaccine on a recent episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience."
