I believed he\u2019s very superficial, he probably hasn\u2019t read a book. Now that I know him, he has like an\u00a0encyclopedic mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>RFK Jr. went on:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>He knows everything, he knows about music \u2014 he has these incredible [insights] about the musicians, he loves music. He loves theater. He knows everything about sports. He can out-talk you on every sports.<\/p>\n<p>He knows everything about Wall Street, who made their money, how they made the money, what the deals look like. And then he knows foreign policy.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The secretary continued by saying Trump proved his foreign policy genius while they were flying together one time. Kennedy said Trump took his\u00a0\u201cvery beautiful hand\u201d and drew a \u201cperfect picture\u201d of the Middle East, showing the troop strength each country had at their borders.<\/p>\n<p>As for Ruffalo, his Trump-bashing resume stacks up against any MAGA hater.
