Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is President-elect Donald Trump's pick for secretary of Health and Human Services .

Kennedy has a long history of scathing critiques against Trump , calling him a "threat to democracy" and a "terrible president" Kennedy 's harshest attacks date back to Trump ’s rise in 2016 , when on his radio show “ Ring of Fire ,” he called Trump 's base “belligerent idiots” and “spineless fellow travelers”.

In March 2016 , Kennedy praised journalist Matt Taibbi's critique of Trump ’s base, reading on-air a passage he called “beautifully” written.

“We may not have that many outright Nazis in America , but we have plenty of cowards and bootlickers, and once those fleshy dominoes start tumbling into the Trump camp, the game is up,” Kennedy said.

Kennedy also harshly criticized Trump 's environmental policies, accusing him of promoting reckless climate denialism.
