The assassination of John F. Kennedy remains one of America’s most debated historical events. For decades, conspiracy theories and unanswered questions have swirled around the tragic day in Dallas. During his recent appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, former President Donald Trump offered a rare glimpse into the complex decisions surrounding the classified JFK files.
Trump’s revelation about the files came during a candid moment in the three-hour conversation. While many expected the former president to stick to campaign talking points, he instead delved into why he couldn’t declassify the JFK documents during his presidency.
“[The JFK files] address the people that are still living, there are people that are affected. And, it could be some national security reason that I don’t have to necessarily know about. But some really good, talented people asked me not to do it.”
Joe Rogan, known for his persistent questioning style, pressed for more details. But Donald Trump did not buckle. He admitted to reviewing about half of the documents himself. He suggested that the contents were sensitive enough to give even the president a pause.
Donald Trump’s response highlighted the delicate balance between public interest and protecting former government officials who might be implicated in the files. He emphasized the time-sensitive nature of the information. The former POTUS suggested that full disclosure might be more appropriate when fewer stakeholders remain.

The conversation between Donald Trump and Joe Rogan dived into America’s financial history, specifically the 1880s and 1890s. According to Trump, the U.S. apparently had so much money, they needed a special commission just to figure out what to do with it all. Those were the days of the “tariff king” McKinley. And the former POTUS hopes to bring that back.
“Yeah, sure, why not? We will not allow the enemy to come in and take our jobs and take our factories and take our workers and take our families unless they pay a big price. And the big price is tariffs.”
The core idea is straightforward: instead of taxing American citizens’ income, impose higher fees on foreign companies wanting to do business in the U.S. His argument suggested that the switch to income tax in the early 1900s was a misstep driven by international pressure rather than domestic benefit.
