The 32-year-old political correspondent for Vogue magazine took to X after Trump’s executive order and wrote that there was “nothing heroic” about the release of documents. “The truth is alot sadder than the myth — a tragedy that didn’t need to happen. Not part of an inevitable grand scheme,” he wrote. “Declassification is using JFK as a political prop, when he’s not here to punch back. There’s nothing heroic about it.” Considering that Schlossberg’s grandfather was murdered in cold blood, many people were surprised he didn’t see the value of releasing any documents relating to the tragedy.
He signed an executive order to that effect on Thursday, telling reporters "everything will be revealed". However, JFK's grandson Jack Schlossberg hit back at President Trump's executive order, saying there was "nothing heroic" about it. "The truth is alot sadder than the myth - a tragedy that didn't need to happen. Not part of an inevitable grand scheme," he wrote on X. "Declassification is using JFK as a political prop, when he's not here to punch back."
Kennedy scion Jack Schlossberg accused President Trump of using slain President John F. Kennedy as a “political prop,” after the commander-in-chief issued an order Thursday to declassify files tied to his grandfather’s murder. The 32-year-old grandson of the 35th president took to social media to brush aside the bombshell announcement Trump made about long-held government secrets tied to JFK’s assassination, along with those of Schlossberg’s great-uncle Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King from decades ago. “JFK conspiracy theories — The truth is alot [sic] sadder than the myth – a tragedy that didn’t need to happen,” Schlossberg tweeted. “Not part of an inevitable grand scheme.” “Declassification is using JFK as a political prop, when he’s not here to punch back,” added Schlossberg, who has gained notoriety with the help of his family ties. “There’s nothing heroic about it.” Trump signed an executive order that would require the disclosure of the files after conspiracy theories have run rampant over all three infamous murders, especially President Kennedy’s.
