JFK’s grandson speaks out after Trump makes executive order to release classified assassination files

President Donald Trump has taken no time at all in settling back into the Oval Office.

Since Monday (January 20), the 78-year-old has signed dozens of executive orders, including one to say that the government will only recognize two genders – a scathing attack on the LGBTQ+ community, and another ending diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.

Now, the Republican has signed an order to release classified files on the assassination of JFK – something which his family is not too pleased with, with the 35th president’s grandson taking a swipe at Trump for doing so.

The assassination of John F. Kennedy, back in 1963, is one of the biggest events in modern history. JFK was gunned down in broad daylight as he rode through Dallas, Texas, becoming the subject of numerous conspiracy theories over the years.

Taking to Twitter, Jack 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.”

He received a barrage of abuse online for wanting to keep the files out of the public’s eye.

One user commented: “Have you reviewed the files? Have you read the documents? What puts you in position to know what is being declassified and released, if anything?”

To which Schlossberg replied: “I know everything d***.”

While another suggested that the 32-year-old New Yorker hadn’t seen the files. They wrote: “Imagine not wanting to know how your grandfather died… how weird.”

“We already know d***,” he replied.

The final tweet that he commented on read: “JFK would absolutely be ashamed of what his kin have become.”

Schlossberg said: “Kevin Mitchell [author of the tweet he was commenting on] and many others — I’d love to speak to JFK from beyond the grave just let me know how best to reach him and then I’ll start behaving with some class per his instructions.”

Trump has previously stated that he was going to unbox classified government papers on the assassination, while appearing as a guest on Joe Rogan‘s podcast back in November.

Trump told Rogan: “I did partially open [it]. I think I’ve opened 50 percent but I was asked not to do it, and I thought that was a reasonable ask. But now I’m going to do it I’m going to do it very soon there’s a lot of interest in it.”

Trump said that due to the case documents involving people who are still alive, ‘you tend not to do it’ when it comes to releasing classified documents.

Donald Trump promised to release two major US secrets if he became president for a second time.

Back in November, he stormed the election against Democratic party leader Kamala Harris, winning 312 electoral votes against Harris’ 226.

Ahead of the vote though, he sat down with podcaster and MMA star Joe Rogan for a three-hour-long, unscripted chat on the Joe Rogan Experience.

Now, Donald Trump has vowed to make a lot of bold changes to the country once he’s inaugurated – from making the US the ‘crypto capital of the planet’ to freeing some of the January 6 rioters.

However, on the Joe Rogan Experience, he said he would finally reveal ‘secret’ government files about two topics the public is incredibly interested in.

One of the biggest events in modern history, JFK was gunned down in broad daylight as he rode through Dallas, Texas, becoming the subject of numerous conspiracy theories over the years.

It follows up on a promise he made to presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr, known as RFK Jr – the nephew of JFK.

RFK Jr’s father was Senator Bobby Kennedy, who himself was also assassinated in 1968 while running for the presidency, earlier in the election campaign.

With RFK Jr suspending his campaign and supporting Trump, the president-elect publicly promised to release thousands of documents linked to his uncle’s murder.

Trump also touched on the subject of extraterrestrial life and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), suggesting he’d release more information on the matter.

The president-elect said: “There’s a lot of interest in the people coming from space. And I know you’re interested in that. It’s never been my thing. I have to be honest. I never have been a believer.”

But he confirmed he had spoken to many pilots that have made him question things, saying: “I interviewed jet pilots that were solid people, perfect – great pilots, great everything.

“And they said, ‘We saw things, sir, that were very strange. Like, a round ball but it wasn’t a comet or a meteor’.

“‘It was something and it was going four times faster than an F222’, which is a very fast plane, you know. And it was round, which isn’t, in theory, a great shape.”

With Trump taking office later today, let’s see if he’s true to his word on this one…

Everything else Trump has pledged to do as 47th US President

Delaying the TikTok ban

After TikTok went dark yesterday (January 19), it was bought back after mere hours with a message reading: “Welcome back! Thank you for your patience and support. As a result of President Trump’s efforts, TikTok is back in the US!”

Trump will reportedly sign an executive order to delay the ban saying he wants to ‘make a deal to protect our national security.’

Immigration

In a statement during a rally at Madison Square Garden during his presidential race he said: “On Day 1, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history to get the criminals out.

“I will rescue every city and town that has been invaded and conquered, and we will put these vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail, then kick them the hell out of our country as fast as possible.”

Planning over 100 executive orders

It’s been reported by AP that Trump plans on preparing over 100 executive orders on his first day in the White House. Trump’s allies have reportedly spent time preparing documents that Trump can sign quickly, on issues such as deportation, school gender policies and vaccine mandates, without input from congress.

“There will be a substantial number,” said Senator John Hoeven, R-N.D.

‘Make Greenland Great Again Act’

In a bid that has not gone down well with Greenlanders, taking to his social media platform Truth Social Trump said: “For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity.

“Greenland is an incredible place. The people will benefit tremendously if, and when, it becomes part of our Nation. We will protect it, cherish it, from a very vicious outside World. MAKE GREENLAND GREAT AGAIN!”

Getting rid of birthright citizenship

Exactly as it sounds, Trump once declared he wanted to get rid of birthright citizenship, which immediately gives citizenship to anyone born in US. Noting that this may not be possible as it’s written into the constitution, he said he wants to achieve this by executive order – bypassing congress again – ‘if we can’.

Cut federal funding for schools educating on ‘inappropriate’ topics

Speaking early last year, Trump addressed a crowd in Iowa and made plans to ‘save [the] country from destruction’.

“On day one, I will sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity,” he said, per NPR.

Trump also said he would target schools pushing ‘any other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content on our children’.

Be a ‘dictator’

In an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity last year, he referred to himself as a ‘dictator’ when asked if he was promising to ‘never abuse power as retribution against anybody’.

In response, Trump said: “Except for Day 1. I want to close the border and I want to drill, drill, drill. We’re closing the border and we’re drilling, drilling, drilling,” he continued. “After that, I’m not a dictator.”

End Green Deals

Trump has spoken previously about his plan to ‘terminate the Green New Deal’, which he dubbed the ‘Green New Scam’.

The Green New Deal was pitched by Democrats Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey, but it was never signed into law.

Addressing the policies in a speech in September, Trump said: “To further defeat inflation, my plan will terminate the Green New Deal, which I call the Green New Scam. Greatest scam in history, probably.

“We [will] rescind all unspent funds under the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act.”

“I’m going to write it out in an executive order. It’s going to end on Day 1.”

Arrange green cards for college graduates

Despite making his stance on migration clear, Trump has advocated for non-US citizens to receive green cards to stay in the country if they graduate from college.

During an episode of the ‘All In’ podcast recorded this year, Trump said: “Anybody graduates from a college, you go in there for two years or four years, if you graduate, or you get a doctorate degree from a college, you should be able to stay in this country […]

“Somebody graduates at the top of the class, they can’t even make a deal with the company because they don’t think they’re going to be able to stay in the country. That is going to end on Day 1.”

Scrap ‘electric vehicle mandates’

Trump plans to scrap Biden administration’s so-called electric vehicle mandate, referring to new pollution standards that incentivize auto manufacturers to increase production of electric and lower-emission vehicles.

Despite vowing to get rid of the policy on his first day, Trump told podcaster Joe Rogan the move could take ‘maybe two days, because it’s a little bit busy’.

Fire the man who indicted him

Trump faced two federal cases in relation to the 2020 election result from special counsel Jack Smith, and the future POTUS has no plans to work with him again.

Speaking on October 24, Trump told the Hugh Hewitt show he would fire Smith ‘within two seconds’.

“He’ll be one of the first things addressed,” he said.

People point out worrying reality for Caitlyn Jenner after she congratulates Donald Trump on becoming president again

Donald Trump is clamping down on the rights of transgender people as he repeals many of Joe Biden’s previous policies

Caitlyn Jenner has been slammed for supporting Donald Trump as the president is set to sign off a new raft of orders impacting the LGBTQ+ community.

President Trump was inaugurated for the second time in Washington, D.C. on Monday (January 20), joined by wife and first lady Melania, as well as some of the biggest names in technology including Elon MuskMark Zuckerberg and TikTok CEO Shou Zi.

Jenner is a long-time Republican supporter, having attended fundraising events for Trump’s 2024 election campaign and even his election night party.

The former Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete announced in 2015 that she was a trans woman.

Among the hundreds of executive orders he’s ushering in, Trump is clamping down on the rights of transgender people as he winds back many of Joe Biden’s previous policies which promoted diversity and equality.

Trump’s orders affecting LGBTQ+ people

In his inaugural address, Trump declared he will ‘end the government policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life’.

“We will forge a society that is color blind and merit-based. … As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female,” he said.

So, the US government will use the term ‘sex’ rather than ‘gender,’ while ordering that identification documents issued by the government, including passports and visas, be based on what it described as ‘an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female’.

Trump said the use of male and female would be ‘unchangeable.’

He then repealed 78 executive orders signed by Biden, including measures ‘supporting racial equity and combating discrimination against gay and transgender people.’ Another combatted discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation.

Trump’s administration is also looking to limit the scope of the 2020 US Supreme Court ruling, Bostock v Clayton County, which – in a major victory for transgender rights – the high court found civil rights protections against discrimination ‘on the basis of sex’ applied to sexuality and gender identity.

And during Sunday’s pre-inauguration rally, Trump vowed to ‘keep all men out of women’s sports.’

Backlash to Jenner’s comments

Despite all this, Jenner took to X to celebrate Trump’s inauguration by writing: “Congratulations Mr. President. Thanks be to God!” with three US flag emoijs.

The post has since been viewed 30 million times, and many people were critical.

One person wrote: “Yet he wants to take away your rights to be a trans woman,” as a second added: “He literally just ordered for you to not exist…”

“Boy oh boy, wait till you hear about the bill he just signed,” a third commented.

A fourth chipped in: “How can you be a transgender and still support someone that thinks the only two genders are male and female and basically wants to erase all the struggle you’ve been through.”

Donald Trump delivered a second speech and made a comment about wife Melania’s feet which he admitted he was probably ‘going to get hell’ for.

Yesterday (January 20), Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, delivering his inaugural speech in the Capitol Rotunda in Washington, DC.

Shortly after his inauguration, the 78-year-old delivered a second speech during which he not only thanked his wife, Melania, but also gave a very public shout out to her feet, no less.

Delivering remarks in the emancipation hall shortly after giving his inaugural speech, Trump thanked the crowds but took a moment to praise ‘a First Lady who has been incredible’.

He said: “I shouldn’t say this, I’m going to get hell when I say this, but her feet hurt. Absolutely aching. You know, those heels.

“And we thought we were leaving, we were going home. ‘Sir would you be able to go down and say hello to some of your other fans?’ And I said, ‘Oh, I didn’t know that’.”

Trump went on to say Melania told him she ‘loves [him] so much’ but her feet were ‘hurting,’ the president then checking how far they’d have to walk.

“Maybe 400 or 500 yards – that’s five football fields,” he continued. “I said, ‘Can you make it?’ She said, ‘We’re going to make it no matter what. We’re going to make it because we have to’.”

Trump explained the pair then went to the helicopter and said bye, with Melania’s fashion troubles not ending there either with her hat nearly ‘blowing away’ too.

And it’s not taken long for viewers to flock to social media to weigh in.

One Twitter user said: “TRUMP IS TALKING ABOUT MELANIA’S FEET. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.”

“When he said ‘I’m gonna get hell for saying this, but her feet are absolutely…’ with that pause, I genuinely thought he was about to go down that road,” another added.

A third commented: “Oh bring her some crocs! I get sore feet too!”

And it’s not the only rogue moment you may’ve missed if you tuned into Trump’s inauguration day – there were eight ‘uncomfortable’ interactions during the event.

A failed kiss, billionaires on the front row and Kamala Harris and Joe Biden too – oh and Hillary Clinton certainly didn’t hold back either.

Donald Trump has just revoked major employment act that's been in place for 60 years

Donald Trump has just revoked major employment act that’s been in place for 60 years

Critics say the order presents a rollback on civil rights

Donald Trump has just revoked a major employment act that’s been in place for six decades.

It’s been a matter of days since Trump took his oath of office as the 47th President of the United States on Monday (January 20), and he’s already given the green light to some seemingly controversial ideas.

Just hours into his presidency, the 78-year-old signed off on 25 executive orders, which included halting the TikTok ban to blocking immigrants and declaring that there are ‘only two genders’, the latter of which prompted Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to appeal to Trump to show ‘mercy’ to the LGBTQ+ community and immigrants.

He also signed an order on Tuesday (January 21) which proposes an end to ‘radical and wasteful government diversity, equity and inclusion’ (DEI) programs.

Now, the president is accelerating his plan to dismantle DEI plans, having revoked the Executive Order 11246 (1965) and sending the message that government employees responsible in the Department of Labor will see their DEI programs removed ‘immediately’ while they face paid leave, reports The New Republic.

The law aims to protect workers from discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or national origin which civil rights advocates have long argued presents a level playing field for underrepresented minorities such as LGBTQ+ people while addressing issues like systemic racism.

The 60-year-old order was introduced by then-President Lyndon Johnson to weave anti-discriminatory practices into US federal government contracting – just two years after Martin Luther King Jr gave his ‘I Have A Dream’ speech.

Trump’s order, which calls DEI initiatives ‘illegal discrimination and preferences’ with a view to ‘restore merit-based opportunity’, is aiming to slam the brakes on private companies employing such programs and from hiring on the basis of race and sex.

It has also asked government agencies to identify any organizations that could be subject to a civil investigation.

The order states: “As a part of this plan, each agency shall identify up to nine potential civil compliance investigations of publicly traded corporations, large non-profit corporations or associations, foundations with assets of 500 million dollars or more, State and local bar and medical associations, and institutions of higher education with endowments over 1 billion dollars.”

The move has already caused a public outcry and widespread condemnation.

Basil Smikle Jr, a political strategist and policy advisor, commented: “There’s this clear effort to hinder, if not erode, the political and economic power of people of color and women.

“What it does is opens up the door for more cronyism.”

But others, such as Louisiana Senator John Kennedy (Republican), supported the move, telling USA Today reporters: “The best way to stop discriminating against people on the basis of race of gender is to stop discriminating against people on the basis of race and gender.

“The truth is the American people don’t think about race or gender merely as much as some folks in Washington want to pretend.”

A statement released by The White House reads in part: “[R]oughly 60 years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, critical and influential institutions of American society, including the Federal Government, major corporations, financial institutions, the medical industry, large commercial airlines, law enforcement agencies, and institutions of higher education have adopted and actively use dangerous, demeaning, and immoral race- and sex-based preferences under the guise of so-called ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ (DEI) or ‘diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility’ (DEIA) that can violate the civil-rights laws of this Nation.”
