Donald Trump's 2024 victory marks a significant shift in the U.S. political landscape, reshaping both domestic and international priorities.  His success was bolstered by unexpected voter support in battleground states like Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina, and an increase in support among Black and Latino voters, especially men, in these crucial areas.  Trump’s campaign capitalized on discontent with the economy, concerns over immigration, and doubts about democratic integrity, key issues that resonated across demographics.

Skepticism arose immediately, fueled by inconsistencies, potential motives, and the sudden murder of Oswald by nightclub owner Jack Ruby before he could stand trial.

The shots struck Kennedy twice, with the fatal one hitting him in the head. Despite this account, a range of alternative theories quickly emerged, with many suggesting that other parties may have been involved in the assassination. One of the most ...
