I do not even know how to describe we nigerians.
I don't know why we relate any situaty to the federal govt,especially the president of the country.we all want to bank on tge freedom of speech bill but fail to realise that these people are also humans with blood running through them.no matter how bad a govt is abroad,their citizens still give their president the respect he deserves.
Making unguarded and careless statements about the president of your country makes me want to support this new hate speech bill.

This is a very faulty inference Obafemee80.
Please do not rewrite history for us or mislead the uninformed.

The car Kennedy rode in that day in Texas was not his official car.

Well.
It did make convertibles the least vehicle of choice for US Presidents while on public tours because of the risk of snipers just like the very similar assasination of our own Murtala Mohammed made it very unfashionable for our leaders not to go out with Odeshi.

It wasn’t and has not been proven Lee Harvey Oswald did it. He was shot and killed by Jack Ruby while he was been escorted out of court. His trial had just begun then.

Kennedy was put into Power by the Italian Mafia and Government together they controlled Kennedy's policy like a puppet.
However Kennedy turned his back on the Top cabals that put him in power by
1. Refusing the C.I.A to blow up network and blame it on Cuba so as to attack Fidel Castro and go to war with Cuba
2. Kennedy wanted to disclose to the public the truth that aliens do exist and has been in contact with military industrial complex, this made CIA furious as they wanted this to remain a huge secret from public. The information will expose vital secrets so CIA and mafia collaboration to assassinate Kennedy came into fruition.

The most interesting part to me is "Donald trump inherited Obama's cars" if it's Nigeria, it will be abandoned no matter the cost and another one will be bought. So many wastage in this country.

He was one great American president. No American president has ever come close.
His death has a lot of conspiracy theories about it. His only sons (also an intelligent politician) death also was very shady. Free Masons, Illuminati, Bilderberg Group etc, whoever, but some people just didn't like the Kennedys. So sad.

He was not great. He was in power for only 2 and half years during which he was mainly bickering with congress. He was the youngest elected ever, which is great

The assassination of JF Kennedy 56 years ago led to a total rethink of how the US presidential state cars are designed



On November 22 1963, US President John F. Kennedy was fatally shot in an open-topped Lincoln Continental in Dallas, Texas, during a presidential motorcade.

That day, 56 years ago today, marks one of the darkest moments in American history. The assassination of John F. Kennedy led to a total rethink of how the presidential cars are designed.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pis-aRHBJDo



The 1961 unarmoured open-roofed Lincoln Continental SS-100-X left John F. Kennedy uniquely exposed.

Today, the United States presidential state cars are more of “Tanks” than a cars. The current models cover the presidents in thicker layers of armour and protection.

AutoJosh wants you to see the evolution of the US Presidential State Cars from the last five decades.

1961 to 1963: Lincoln Continental SS-100-X




The vehicle that President Kennedy was riding in on the day of his assassination was a 1961 open-roofed Lincoln Continental SS-100-X. The state car cost almost $200,000 (equivalent to about $1,700,000 in 2018).

It is the most sophisticated presidential state car yet built. It has heavy-duty heater and air conditioner and a pair of radiotelephones. Fire extinguisher, a first-aid kit and a siren are also available.

John F. Kennedy wouldn’t have survived the bullets in the unarmoured car even if the hardtop had been in place.

1963 to 1972: Lyndon B Johnson’s armoured Lincoln Continental



Following Kennedy’s assassination, Lincoln Continental was redesigned for an estimated cost of $500,000. It received significant armour plating, bullet-proof hardtop, explosion-proof fuel tank and run-flat tyres.

The custom-built car remained in service until 1977, when it was retired to the Henry Ford Museum.

1972 to 1982



President Nixon in 1972

The Lincoln Continental was also used by Presidents Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan

The 1972 Lincoln Continental was the car in which President Gerald Ford was shot at by Sara Jane Moore.



It is also the car that transported President Ronald Reagan to the hospital after he was shot in 1981. It is currently on display at the Henry Ford Museum.

Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham

In 1984, the US Secret Service switched to Cadillac. President Ronald Reagan used a state car based on the Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. It featured armour and bulletproof glass.

Bush’s Lincoln Town Car

George HW Bush used an armoured Lincoln Town Car during his 4 year tenure as President of the United States.

https://autojosh.com/on-this-day-56-years-ago-us-president-john-f-kennedys-was-shot-dead-in-open-topped-presidential-state-car/


I visited this exact spot JFK was shot earlier in the year.
And peered through the window pane and saw the view that the assassin saw. The Library has been converted into a Museum of some sort. You’ll pay nearly $30 to get in it.

JFK was an engima. The brilliantly put pictures and videos will tell you about him. His family. His campaign. The Cuban missile crisis.

Step into Dallas and you will feel something different in the air— heavy, sombre, like some form of unseen unhappiness.
When I was told that it was the same town that JFK was shot, I wasn’t surprised.
