The Trump campaign appeared to set up his entrance with more than a bit of effort. Kennedy walked down a red carpet as pyrotechnics went off along the stage while the Foo Fighters’s 1997 hit “My Hero” played.

In introducing Kennedy, Trump said he wanted to establish an independent presidential commission on assassination attempts, which would be tasked with releasing all of the remaining documents relating to the assassination of JFK, his uncle. He also acknowledged Kennedy’s push for investigating chronic health problems in children.

Trump then turned it over to Kennedy, who was greeted by a thunderous “Bobby” chant.

Kennedy, who said he would drop off of most swing state ballots but will stay on some, described his earlier meetings with Trump in which they focused on their agreements. Those core agreements, Kennedy outlined in his reasons for supporting Trump, included “having safe food and ending the chronic disease epidemic” and their mutual desire to “end the grip of neocons on foreign policy.”

“He said he didn’t want any more $200 billion wars in Ukraine; we can use that in the United States,” Kennedy said, with the crowd voicing their agreement.

In one of his most positive statements about Trump on the evening, Kennedy pointed to him and said, “Don’t you want a president who is gonna get out of the wars and going to rebuild the middle class in this country?”

Kennedy decided to endorse Trump because he felt that he had been blocked by Democrats in his pursuit of ballot access as an independent and his previous pursuit of the Democratic nomination.

Kennedy ended his address on one of their key agreements, using a spinoff of the “Make America Great Again” slogan to convey his point:

“Don’t you want a president that’s gonna make America healthy again?”
