Donald Trump teased Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about being able to complete a 50-mile hike.
The U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, 72, recalled a story about his late uncle, John F. Kennedy Jr., claiming he once told his Cabinet that one of them would need to complete a 50-mile hike “to show the American people that we’re in shape.”
“This Cabinet could’ve done it. We have a bunch of thoroughbreds on this Cabinet,” RFK Jr. continued, listing more than half a dozen officeholders, including Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. "There’s a lot of people who could probably do a 50-mile hike."
Donald chimed in by asking, "What about me? You didn't mention my name."
RFK Jr. appeased the president by saying, "This guy walks nine miles a day on a golf course every weekend, so he could do it in a breeze."
