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.

I have never bought that JFK Jr. caused his own death. He was close to announcing for NY Senate and Hillary would not have stood a chance. I worried about this kid before his plane went down.

Considering Trump lobbied GHW Bush to become his VP in 1988, it’s not weird that someone would take Trump for president at least half seriously some time later.

There was no storm. Just inexperience.

There are numerous interviews of Trump through the 80's talking about the country/economy's direction. He was asked if he would run, he said no, there were plenty of more qualified people.

Thing of it is, his views today are the same! He has fame, power, and fortune. He didn't have to run for all that. He chose to run. He won't be stealing WH furniture, when he leaves.

Trump ran for Prez back in 2000 which was 16 years ago.

Yep—he had the same key positions and nationalistic concerns, too.

True. It wasn’t great conditions ( some haze ) but a challenge for novice pilots. Reported at the time that weekend pilots die in similar crashes often but barely even are an item on local news.

Every time someone comments on how dangerous guns are, I tell them My family guns are proven to be far less dangerous than Teddy Kennedy’s Oldsmobile.
