RFK Jr. says Trump would push to remove fluoride from drinking water. 'It's possible,' Trump says
RFK Jr.'s Fluoride Claims: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stated that Donald Trump would push to remove fluoride from U.S. drinking water on his first day in office if elected.
Trump's Reaction: Trump has not fully discussed this issue with Kennedy but mentioned that the idea "sounds OK" and is "possible," showing his openness to revisiting fluoride use in public water.
