In a shocking twist that only Donald Trump could concoct, he insists Lee Harvey Oswald wasn’t working solo when he allegedly transformed into America’s most infamous lone assassin of President Kennedy—because, of course, why not question history?

Trump's recent comments on Oswald's potential accomplices have reignited debates over the Kennedy assassination, despite federal agencies standing firm on Oswald being the lone gunman. With a significant number of Americans favoring conspiracy theories, Trump’s musings not only entertain his base but also keep the myth-making machine alive, all while he champions transparency by releasing thousands of previously classified documents.

The former president’s statement, 'I do. And I've always held that, of course he was, was he helped?' makes one wonder if he believes Oswald might have had the latest version of a 'How to Execute the Perfect Assassination' manual with him. Yet, the Justice Department, alongside a handful of other federal agencies, remains resolutley faithful to historical accuracy, reiterating that Oswald acted alone. Apparently, the weight of history is not enough to stop the fervor of modern speculation.

In a nation often captivated by conspiracy theories, it's unsurprising that polls indicate many Americans still believe that Kennedy's assassination was the result of a conspiracy. This might explain why citizens flock to find clues in almost everything from coffee rings on napkins to the positions of squirrels during the week of the anniversary. After all, details matter when building a case for a cabal led by shadowy figures in dark alleys (or, you know, unfounded conjectures).

Trump’s presidency saw the release of thousands of pages of digital documents pertaining to the Kennedy assassination, a move he calmly described as a step toward bringing transparency to a previously clouded subject. In an era where visibility often translates to truth, he seemingly poured a narrative into the cauldron of public opinion, stirring it vigorously. Perhaps he believed that reading all those files would prompt skepticism similar to the reaction he has generated with his observations.

Throughout his campaign, Trump frequently promised to reveal the 'truth' about Kennedy's death. Now, whether this truth is more accurate than standard industry coffee-shop conspiracy theories remains to be seen. In a world where the theories include anything from mob hits to extraterrestrial involvement, Trump has positioned himself as a modern-day Sherlock Holmes... at least in a parallel universe where economic data is best found in tabloid headlines.

Moreover, Trump has plans for refreshing the American historical record, having directed aides to start preparations for releasing records tied to the tragic assassinations of both Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. One can only imagine the conversations behind closed doors: 'Should we add an appendix of all the conspiracy theories to make it more engaging for the readers?' Such potential releases could keep pop historians busy for a millennium or at least until people exhaust their subscription to conspiracy theory newsletters.

While presidents typically yield power to govern, Trump's unique approach allows him to share historical musings that twist his personal interpretation of events into public discourse. This kind of open-ended narrative invites speculation—an undeniable dexterity that he possesses, whether discussing politics or historical occurrences. Thus, one could argue that Trump is merely maintaining the tradition of redirecting national curiosity, even if it means brushing against a few historical facts with a giant paint roller of conjecture.

As opinions regarding Oswald's role diverge like paths in a labyrinth, Americans are reminded that sometimes the journey towards understanding history might just be sprinkled with a sarcastic chuckle. So whether Trump stands in a corner questioning Oswald's human resources or those highly skilled contributing to his legacy remains debatable, the notion of lone assassins and groups collaborating continues to strike a chord that resonates through the decades.
