MAHA members call movement a “sham” after Kennedy supports #glyphosate order.

Beth Mole – Feb 20, 2026

"Members of the Make America Health Again movement are in open revolt after founder Robert F. Kennedy Jr. publicly backed President Trump’s executive order Wednesday that would increase domestic production of glyphosate—a pesticide the MAHA movement and Kennedy have railed against.

"Vani Hari, an ally of Kennedy who goes by 'Food Babe,' told The Washington Post she was left 'speechless' by the move.

" 'We truly were hoping that this administration would put people over corporate power,' she said, 'but this action moves us away from that commitment.'

"#Trump’s executive order invoked the #DefenseProductionAct to boost domestic production of glyphosate, the active ingredient in #Bayer’s #Roundup products. Currently, the US imports large quantities of glyphosate from China, according to Reuters.

"The MAHA movement has been vehemently opposed to the use of glyphosate, claiming it contributes to childhood health problems. In 2024, Kennedy—an anti-vaccine activist and environmental lawyer who was then running for president—wrote on social media: 'The herbicide Glyphosate is one of the likely culprits in America’s chronic disease epidemic. … Shockingly, much of our exposure comes from its use as a desiccant on wheat, not as an #herbicide. From there it goes straight into our bodies. My USDA will ban that practice.' " [Yeah, right, sure you will... And I have a bridge I can sell you.]

'...Further, companies falling under the order receive immunity as well:
"Additionally, domestic producers of elemental #phosphate & #glyphosate based herbicides are required to comply with this order," under the #DefenseProductionAct, companies complying with orders can't be sued for damages for complying with the orders. They're also shielded from certain civil liability cases & are protected from #antitrust exposure for following the orders.' (2/2) #maha #monsanto

Trump Directs USDA to Prioritize Domestic Glyphosate, Phosphorus Production

President Donald Trump issued an executive order to protect the domestic production of elemental phosphorus and glyphosate. The order gives the Agriculture Secretary authority to direct the production of both crop inputs. It also gives immunity to companies for following the executive order.

EPIC shakedown -> kickback the trump team performed here:

Weeks after "accusing" the 90% #phosphorous #duopoly of #priceFixing, the commodus-in-chief invokes the #DefenseProductionAct, which 'protects them from going out of business and shields them from regulatory or financial pressures. It also ensures any rule or regulation "does not place the corporate viability of any domestic producer of elemental #phosphorus or #glyphosate based herbicides at risk'
