Donald Trump took the stage at a campaign rally in Glendale, Arizona, on Friday after Robert F. Kennedy dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed the former president.

Trump promised during his speech that he would release several of the documents linked to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy, who was RFK's uncle.

JFK served as President of the United States from 1961 until his assassination on November 22, 1963. Since then, his murder has remained an unsolved mystery and shrouded in conspiracy theories.

The Guardian Trump reportedly promised to release the documents once elected president as part of a newly proposed commission to investigate assassination attempts on presidents, including one that targeted him in July in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The report also claimed that Trump invited RFK, a longtime vaccine advocate, on stage and that he briefly addressed the rally in Arizona, asking people: “Don't you want a president who will make America healthy again?”

The Kennedy family pariah also stressed that Trump is the one who “is going to protect us from totalitarianism.”

The Republican candidate promised at the rally that if elected he would create a high-level panel of experts to work with RFK to investigate children's health problems.
