Donald Trump reveals who he thinks killed JFK

The murder of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas still haunts us.

Donald Trump has a clear stance on who the killer was — he believes it was Lee Harvey Oswald.

But in a new bombshell interview with Clay Travis aboard Air Force One, Trump also suggests an alternative theory.

Thrust back into the spotlight
The assassination of President John F. Kennedy remains one of the darkest chapters in American history. This year marks the haunting 62nd anniversary of the tragic moment when the 35th President of the United States was gunned down in Dallas.

The event remains ever-relevant, with nearly as many conspiracy theories as there are alleged killers. Last week, the Kennedy assassination was thrust back into the spotlight when Donald Trump ordered the release of over 2,000 pages of previously classified documents related to the event. Previously, Trump had stated that approximately 80,000 pages would be declassified.

The newly revealed files included a mix of typewritten reports and handwritten notes accumulated over decades.

Among the shocking revelations was testimony from a high-ranking CIA agent, who suggested that the deep state was behind the assassination.

The agent also claimed that Lee Harvey Oswald was a ”poor shot” and revealed that the Secret Service had been warned about a potential threat to Kennedy’s life as early as August. According to The Express, the declassified documents suggest Oswald was being monitored by the KGB and had a “stormy relationship” with his wife, Marina Nikolayevna Prusakova.

One document states: “Oswald had a stormy relationship with his Soviet wife, who rode him incessantly.” Another file describes him as a “poor shot” during firearms training in the Soviet Union.

”I’ve always felt that…”
As most people know, 24-year-old Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, but just two days later, he was shot and killed by nightclub owner Jack Ruby.

Both the FBI and the Warren Commission concluded that Oswald acted alone, but conspiracy theories about the assassination still run rampant.

Now, Donald Trump is jumping into the debate. In a wide-ranging interview with OutKick founder Clay Travis aboard Air Force One, Trump made it clear that he has always believed Lee Harvey Oswald was the one who killed Kennedy in Dallas.

Travis asked the president if he believes Oswald was responsible for JFK’s death.

”I do,” Trump responded. ”And I’ve always felt that, but of course, was he helped?”

The conspiracy theory suggesting that Lee Harvey Oswald had help from outside forces argues that Oswald didn’t act alone in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Some believe he was part of a larger plot orchestrated by organizations such as the CIA, Mafia, KGB, the Cuban government, or even elements within the U.S. government, often referred to as the “deep state.”

These theories suggest that Oswald, a relatively unknown figure with questionable skills as a marksman, was used as a scapegoat or manipulated into carrying out the assassination, with others pulling the strings behind the scenes.

As for the documents that were released, it seems Trump was also underwhelmed by their contents, leaving it to the readers to make their own “determination.” “I don’t think there’s any that’s earth-shattering,” he said.

What do you think happened on that fateful day in November 1963? Do you agree with Trump’s view? Share your thoughts and join the conversation in the comments.
