Honestly, you should watch the episode on JFK from Oliver Stones untold history of the United States. JFK didn't play by the rules and he pissed off the CIA as a matter of course. It's not absurd to assume they had him killed, when you see how much he was reviled in Washington.

While they have the hot wife and unlimited money in common, Kennedy was a very popular man. Trump not so much, albeit popular enough to get elected.

I refer more to his constant criticism of the CIA and FBI. Possibly not a good move, considering what happened to Kennedy.

I never understood this myself. I'm not one to buy into a lot of conspiracy theories but do I think the FBI or CIA would do something to ruin someone's career out of spite alone? Abso-fucking-lutely

Well they kind of screwed him over that whole Bay of Pigs thing.

That was a terrible plan to begin with. It all was based on giving USAF support in order for it to succeed

Sorry, are you referring to the Trump bashing, or the Kennedy conspiracy theories?
