RFK Jr says Trump move is something no other president's done before

Former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. offered praise for former President Trump's plan to fund his transition on his own, arguing it is something that's never been done before.

"Normally, the transition team is not created until Nov. 6th because GAO, the General Accounting Office, pays for all the cost of the transition team. Trump said, 'I'm not going to do it this time. I'm not going to do it their way. I'm going to start my own transition team three months early.' And he got private donors to fund it," Kennedy said during a Trump-Vance campaign event over the weekend.

The comments come after Trump appeared on the popular Joe Rogan podcast where he discussed some of the mistakes he made during his first run for president in 2016, including putting people in positions he would later regret putting on his team.

This time around, Trump began the process of privately funding his transition early, hoping to learn from his experience and hit the ground running with a plan if he secures an election victory.

Trump has faced a wave of criticism over the last week for comments made by some former officials in his administration, with former Trump chief of staff John Kelly saying in an interview with the New York Times that his former boss met the definition of a fascist and at times offered praise for German dictator Adolf Hitler.

Trump has denied the praise for Hitler and fired back at Kelly, calling his former chief of staff a "lowlife" in response to the interview.
