Oxford, UK: There is a wedding photograph dating from 2014 that has recently and understandably gone viral. On the left is the former independent presidential candidate-turned-new Donald Trump supporter Robert F. Kennedy Jr, who is grinning with the joys of newfound nuptial happiness, his ill-fated tilt at the presidency not even a remote gleam in his eye.
In the middle stands his new bride, Cheryl Hines, an actress best known for her role in Curb Your Enthusiasm as Cheryl, Larry David’s long-suffering wife, who is smiling widely but also somewhat nervously into the camera. And on the right sits David himself, whose expression of wry bemusement seems to suggest that Hines’ real-life union will be just as doomed as the one in his sitcom. Robert F.

Although his often eccentric campaign was widely ridiculed, not least for his public pronouncements that part of his brain had been eaten by a worm and that he had once dumped the corpse of a bear cub in a New York park after photographing himself with it, it still came as a surprise that he endorsed Trump.
He ha.
