‘Under attack’: JFK’s only grandson posts DOGE rant on social media
Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of former President John F. Kennedy, made waves on social media this week with a scathing indictment of President Donald Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). In a series of Instagram posts, Schlossberg accused the government of attempting to “steal the past” from the American people.
“It’s under attack from its own government,” Schlossberg wrote in one post. He went on to claim that DOGE is “generating propaganda” instead of actually cutting spending as it was tasked with doing. The 32-year-old former President’s grandson expressed his concern for the country’s future and urged his followers to resist what he sees as a dangerous trend.
The controversy surrounding DOGE intensified this week with the closure of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum due to the sudden dismissal of federal employees. Schlossberg, who served on several of the library’s committees, expressed his disappointment over the closure, highlighting the importance of preserving his grandfather’s legacy.
In a pointed message to DOGE leader Elon Musk, Schlossberg called out the organization for its actions, urging Musk to “eat s—.” He also criticized President Trump for declassifying the JFK files, accusing him of using his grandfather as a political prop.
Schlossberg’s social media posts have garnered attention for their candid and confrontational style. The young Kennedy, who holds degrees from both Yale and Harvard University, has used his platform to speak out against what he sees as injustices in the government.
In addition to his criticism of DOGE and President Trump, Schlossberg also took aim at his own family members. He called out cousin Kick Kennedy and uncle Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who was sworn in as Secretary of Health and Human Services, for their actions. He also called out cousin Joe Kennedy III for not speaking out against RFK Jr., whom he referred to as “uncle schmuck.”
Despite the controversy surrounding his posts, Schlossberg remains unapologetic. He continues to use his platform to speak out against what he sees as corruption and injustice in the government.
As the grandson of a former President, Jack Schlossberg’s words carry weight. His outspokenness and willingness to challenge authority have made him a polarizing figure on social media. Whether or not his words will lead to real change remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Jack Schlossberg is not afraid to speak his mind.
