Kennedy Jr. hit back at former President Trump following his “barely coherent” rant on TruthSocial Friday night targeting the Independent presidential candidate. “When frightened men take to social media they risk descending into vitriol, which makes them sound unhinged,” Kennedy said Saturday in a social media post on X. “President Trump’s rant against…
