JFK Jr. Predicted Trump’s Run for President 20 Years Ago
New York Post ^ | November 3, 2016 | Keith J. Kelly

John F. Kennedy Jr., 20 years ago, predicted the rise of Donald Trump as a presidential candidate.

Michael Berman, onetime partner of Kennedy on the launch of George, the political-pop culture magazine, recalled the prescient comments last week in remarks to note a six-figure donation he and his wife, interior designer Victoria Hagan, recently made to Elon University’s School of Communications.

In 1996, Berman said, Kennedy flew a select group of advertisers to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate after an industry conference in Florida.

Yet he didn’t have the insight to stay grounded in a brutal storm with not much experience flying in one?

There’s 20 year old footage of Trump on Oprah’s show and she’s asking him about a Presidential run. It’s not as if this was a sudden whim for Trump.

Kennedys...

-Can’t Drive
-Can’t Fly
-Can’t Ski
-Can’t skipper a boat

...but they know what’s best for us.

If Kennedy was piloting, then they were lucky to get there.

Seriously, if Romney won in 2012, Trump would still be hosting the Apprentice.

Trump is what you get, when the silent majority is denied, four years later.

If Trump is defeated in 2016, who know who we will get in 2020? Guaranteed he/she will make Trump look mediocre.

Sensationalistic headline. It wasn’t a prediction. It was an off-the-cuff remark, joke really, to deflect attention from himself on to Trump. Trump has been asked about running for President since the 80s. Watch the Oprah tape.

I'm more concerned about his father being right:

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."

John F. Kennedy, In a speech at the White House, 1962

JFK Jr should have predicted that the Clintons would kill him so that Hillry could be NY’s senator instead of him.

Which is why billy-bob bush was likely egging DJT on and secretly (illegally) taping him 15 years ago. Entrapment for political purposes.

That being said, I bet they’ve tried to entrap DJT multiple times for that very purpose. Thank God the man does not drink. He would never had stood a chance.

Hm?...20 years ago I would have considered that unbelievable. Today, not so much.

Yep. GOP should be praying Trump wins. They best be careful what they ask for.

I’ve heard that tossed about before.

I have no doubt in my mind. The Clintons lust for power is unequalled in american history. I have no proof. However, what was JFK jr doing flying around in such a poorly equipped plane?

John John had also been working on an article about a fake religion followed by a bunch of Hollywood types. I can’t remember if the story was published before or after his death. Anywho, on the day of his death, a movie that had initially been titled, “Drop Dead Gorgeous” was released. The title was changed for release. I think it was a beauty pageant movie. I remember opening up whatever search engine I used to use at the time and seeing Drop Dead Gorgeous on the screen. It is all probably coincidental. Heh. This post reminded me of those times and Bubba and Hilly being chummy with some of that religion’s pilot actors.

Yes JFK Jr. was a “severe” Democrat but on the whole I think he was a pretty decent guy. Didn’t rip conservatives in a knee-jerk way

I just looked it up and it was released one week after his death under the name Drop Dead Gorgeous. So maybe it was originally titled something else.
