So what did Jake Novak, senior columnist from CNBC, mean when he titled this post?
What the writer did here was employ an apophasis, a veiled threat designed to be subtle, but also obvious. Everyone knows JFK is synonymous with assasination, just like everyone knows Babe Ruth is known for his prowess to hit homeruns.
But in his article, Jake dove right into the never talked about JFK led war against the steel industry — failing to mention the fact that Trump shares a disdain for crony capitalism, the CIA, and unnecessary wars with the late President who was struck down by persons unknown. Many believe that he was a victim of the military industrial complex, along with the CIA, which later had their way with LBJ by conducting a massive war against the fucking jungle people of Vietnam.
In the journalistic world of CNBC, juxtaposing a picture of JFK with a warning to Trump means Trump should stop tweeting.
Novak shills.
What does the mean for everyone involved? The all-too-easy answer is Trump needs to stop tweeting and bashing companies. But if he must wield that big stick from time to time to maintain his bargaining position, he needs to be extremely careful and pursue deals that really can be made, and make sure those deals aren’t going to be nixed or reversed in a publicly devastating way like U.S. Steel did to JFK in 1962. For someone who once fronted one of TV’s top reality shows, carefully choreographing those kinds of announcements and statements shouldn’t be too hard.
And Wall Street needs to impress on the President-elect that his interference with private industry can do more than hurt just one or two sectors at a time. Remember, the JFK/U.S. Steel fight brought the entire market down.
Because when a picture of JFK is tossed up along with the words ‘JFK learned the hard way’, we all just think about his epic struggle against the steel industry, right?
In fairness to Novak, he was even handed during the elections and even predicted a Trump win. On his Twitter account, he made reference to JFKs never talked about battle against big steel.
The response on Twitter has been overtly acrimonious.
Quit shitposting Jake.
Enjoy this little 4 year charade my friends. The liberal elite had their guard down, they didn’t think you could be appalling enough to elect this ass. One thing is for sure, it will never happen again. You’ve awoken the intellectual giant.
Hmm. Poofer fairy seems afraid. Afraid President Trump will succeed and will actually have to get job.
guess what. America decided to elect anybody but the globalist elite, because the elite doesn’t give a flying fuck about the rest of America. Democrats would probably still be in power if Sanders were the nominee. But no, your party elite had to fudge its own election against the will of the majority, youth and regular folks, who wanted Sanders to lead. What you are getting now is deserved payback for your arrogance and lies. Tough luck mofo.
Well put, dems need to look in the mirror, I think Bernie would have easily beat Trump.
You’re like 12 years old, intellectually.
Benny, check the red state blue state map. You were and will continue to be squashed like the little fucking bug you are. Enjoy the inaguration bitch.
I’d like an overlay with a heat map of CWPs then ask the left if they want to go down that road.
OK, girls. I am going to go there.
Just to make it fun and suspenseful for the next couple days, I am going on record here that between the time period from Jan 20, 12:01pm to Jan 22, 11:33pm a bloody, shocking sacrifice in the form of some assassination or false flag event with many deaths will be carried out by the deep state and linked to Trump becoming the 45th president. This will be a game changer.
And let’s take a vote:
down-votes = nothing will happen;
up-votes = false flag is imminent
undecided girls can click the “fake news” option
-.-.33.–
-.22.-.11.-
so let’s watch. it’s on record now.
p.s.
If it’s assassination, look out for the lone gunman that forgets his/her ID conveniently at the scene.
So epic. The blow back on these bastards is just getting started. They thought it was cute and easy to fuck with the masses. Probably was too. Well. Prepare for the dam to break. We have a leader right or wrong now and no fear. Your game is coming ten times back at ya.
The liberals, the elites, the decadent denizens of Hollywood, the talking heads of MSM … they still don’t get it.
The election was not about Trump. Most who voted for him (by a 5:1 margin here) did so with their noses plugged.
They voted for him because they were and are damn tired of the groups mentioned above ramming their politically correct, faggot loving, BLM racism, transgender, free college shit down their collective throats.
They had had it up to their eyeballs with a government that pandered to all the fringes of society in order to build enough of a voting block to defeat those who cling to God and guns, traditional marriage, working quietly but diligently with their hands to better themselves and just plain want to live without all the bullshit big government introduces into their lives.
They could not have cared less who exactly was on the ticket opposite of Clinton, it just wasn’t going to be her because she, to them, represented all the things mentioned above, plus the slaughtering of unborn children, amplification of the total failure of 0bamacare, and militant feminism.
“They” still don’t get that November was a hearty FUCK YOU! To all those things and who exactly was on the ticket really made little difference.
Deep down, I think those who seem to be most fearful of Trump may see that it was their lifestyle, their morality, their control that was rejected. That is why we see them weeping and gnashing their teeth, crying out so vociferously, and looking for people who are like minded yet in their support groups. Their way of life just got flushed down to where it rightly belongs.
heaterman hit the nail on the head. Didn’t matter which Republican ran against Hillary or Sanders, the Republican was getting my vote. The pendulum has swung way too far in the liberal direction.
Heaterman is the voice of reason in an insane world!
Wrong – we get it completely, it was a FUCK YOU. We get it loud and clear. Unfortunately the consequences of their actions is going to hurt them the most, that’s the irony. Trump isn’t bringing coal and manufacturing back in any meaningful way – anyone that believes that has the intellect of a child.
Meanwhile this turd bought her way into running our educational system, nice work people.

The left got complacent, and that shit is over – watch the size of the marches this weekend folks.
Some of what u knuckleheads say is true but more Americans voted against him than for him. That’s a fact. Wait till he starts cutting programs that every little special interest wants, including those who held their nose while voting for him, and see what happens. Everything looks easy as the opposition. What happens when North Korea starts testing ICBMs and China starts putting warships off our West Coast? Will faux tough-guy Trump start tweeting us into a war?
Crony capitalism.. just wait and see who gets contracts to build The Wall. Trump’s HHS selection was buying individual stocks in small companies that he was regulating as a congressman. Should he booted for this? Do you have the courage of your convictions?
Heaterman.. militant feminism? Now that’s a 60s throwback. What does that even mean? If faggot-hating is your motivation, then that’s pretty pathetic. Sharpest decline in abortions has been under Obama. You aware of that?
You deep state types are just fuckin crazy. Meds will help. Or booze in case of Ironbird.
Regards.
Swamp filling up… of course this is OK Trumpies? Pay-for-play..crony capitalism…of course not. Please start with the excuses… I’m sure Collins is squeaky clean too.
“Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.), President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to head the Department of Health and Human Services, admitted on Wednesday that he decided to buy stock in an Australian biotech firm after receiving information from Rep. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.), a board member of that company.”
Humans can be very ridiculous. Saying Fuck You is easy. Bashing liberals is easy. Governing is hard. Finding and supporting a good candidate for pres or Congress, and getting them into office is hard. Keeping track of what’s happening politically and demanding the just thing from your political officials is hard. Working together with others for political goals. And compromising and accepting that you won’t always get 100% of what you want is hard.
People usually do the easy things though. If they’re frustrated, they vote the “Eff You” vote, and end up cutting off their nose to spite their face. No one in their right mind would want DT as pres. But lots of people are not in their right minds. Or else they are incredibly soft and lazy when it comes to political participation.
And speaking of decadent denizens of Hollywood and the MSM, you just elected a celebrity reality TV star, wtih Bannon of Breitbart as one of his advisers. Of course, Breitbart, in addition to being mainstream media by now, is also fake news media, so I guess that makes it okay.
If Trumpsters want to “live without all the bullshit big government introduces into their lives”, I hope they enjoy living without health insurance, Social Security, or Medicare. Because Trump may get rid of those. And certainly Pence would love to, if Trump is impeached. And I hope they enjoy all the trade wars and all the military wars Trump and/or Pence are going to get us into.
To be clear, I was just told I’d be able to do hoodrat shit with my friends if I voted for him.
