JFK's grandson Jack
Schlossberg hit out at the Trump administration for releasing his grandfather's
assassination files
Jack Schlossberg has hit back at President Donald Trump for
releasing his grandfather's assassination files
Jack Schlossberg, grandson of President John F. Kennedy, has
criticised former President Donald Trump for his decision to release classified
files about JFK's assassination. Schlossberg voiced his concerns on Twitter,
accusing Trump of using his grandfather's death as a political tool and stating
that the tragedy should not be turned into a spectacle.
President Kennedy's assassination in 1963 remains one of the
most significant events in American history. Shot in broad daylight while
riding through Dallas, Texas, his death has been the subject of countless
conspiracy theories. Many hoped that the release of classified documents would
finally reveal new information, but Schlossberg argued that it does more harm
than good.
In a tweet, Schlossberg wrote: "JFK conspiracy theories
— The truth is a lot sadder than the myth — a tragedy that didn’t need to
happen. Not part of an inevitable grand scheme. Declassification is using JFK
as a political prop, when he’s not here to punch back.
There’s nothing heroic about it." His remarks sparked
debate online, with some critics accusing him of wanting to suppress the truth.
Responding to comments questioning his stance, Schlossberg
defended his position, bluntly stating: "I know everything d***."
When another user suggested it was odd not to want to know more about his
grandfather’s death, he replied, "We already know d***." He also
responded sarcastically to a comment claiming JFK would be ashamed of his
family, saying, "I’d love to speak to JFK from beyond the grave... let me
know how best to reach him."
Trump’s decision to release the JFK files comes after
earlier comments on Joe Rogan's podcast, where he claimed to have partially
opened the files. Trump explained that 50% of the documents had already been
released but said he was previously asked to hold back the rest due to their
sensitivity, as they involve individuals who are still alive. He added,
"But now I’m going to do it... there’s a lot of interest in it."
The release of JFK’s assassination files has reignited
discussions about one of America’s most enduring mysteries. While some view it
as an opportunity to uncover the truth, others, including Schlossberg, believe
it is an unnecessary move that exploits the tragedy for political gain.
