JFK's Grandson Accuses Trump of Obsession After Document Release

Following the release of over 80,000 previously classified documents related to John F. Kennedy's assassination, JFK's grandson, Jack Schlossberg, criticized former President Donald Trump for what he perceives as an obsession with his grandfather's legacy. Schlossberg accused Trump of appropriating Kennedy's history for political gain, arguing that Trump is more interested in 'JFK’s carcass' than in the late president's accomplishments. He highlighted stark contrasts between their ideologies and policies, stating that while JFK championed civil rights and fought against fascism, Trump has undermined those values through his administration's actions, including the rollback of DEI initiatives and cuts to USAID. Schlossberg's remarks came amidst claims that the newly released documents would not reveal new insights into the assassination, a sentiment echoed by historians and the Kennedy family. He expressed concern that Trump and others are normalizing themselves by distorting historical narratives for contemporary agendas. Overall, Schlossberg's statements reflect a broader critique of how historical legacies are leveraged in modern politics.
