Also, the silver disappeared from the quarters and dimes in 1964, right after his assassination.
Oh well, I am sure it is nothing.
Trump and JFK Are More Alike Than We Like to Think

If the CIA gave a damn about our country they would find the people leaking classified information to the press with the intent of taking down a duly elected President of the United States.
If they’re NOT going after criminal leakers, they’re worthless.
If you’re a betting man, put your money on Trump. He’s going to win this!
Fake news. It remains to be seen whether Trump is at war with the CIA.
The fake news makes up stories daily out of thin air, citing “sources within the administration” which can never be verified.
The fake stories usually tell of some sort of infighting or chaos within the executive branch, and then compound it with the suggestion that there are disloyal “leakers” within the ranks in intelligence depts, the justice department or state.
No doubt, there truly are Obama holdovers and others who are not supportive of Trump - some probably act on it and run interference or even sabotage his efforts. But this is probably no more the case in this administration than in any other new administration where the White House changed hands from Democrat to Republican, or visa versa.
The real story here is the fake news itself, which has reached new levels of absurdity and goes largely unchallenged, except the POTUS himself through his wonderful tweets, and a few others like Lou Dobbs and Sean Hannity.
FReepers are generally vigilant in refuting fake news if you read down into the comments.
However, I am often struck by how many fake news stories are posted here without any kind of a fake news alert.
There may be reasons for why this happened so much -
1) there isn’t much news that isn’t fake to choose from.
2) there seems to be a rule about altering headlines (?)
3) there seems to be a large devil’s advocate contingent
4) there seem to be some FReepers who still trust the MSM
5) there are concern trolls
6) often fake news is clever - wolf dressed in sheep’s clothing
I do like the discussion it sparks when FReepers post these fake news stories. But I worry that doing this runs counter to any effort to combat the MSM.
Shouldn’t we be boycotting the MSM? Don’t they thrive on readership, much like the cable news shows thrive on ratings? If we repost these articles, read them, often click on the source link, and then pay lip service by using them as a discussion topic, aren’t we giving them exactly the attention that is their life’s blood?
It is so crucial to our cause that the MSM is discredited, choked off and suffocated - hopefully meeting an untimely and unpleasant death.
Trump is doing his part calling out the fake news with his tweets - what can we do to further their demise?
