Jack Schlossberg talks about Donald Trump winning Kennedy award
Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of John F. Kennedy, has weighed in on the possibility of Donald Trump winning the Kennedy family’s Profile in Courage Award. In a recent interview with MS Now, Schlossberg revealed the only way that the President could win the prestigious award.
“To be honest, I don’t think he’s in the running anytime soon,” Schlossberg jokingly admitted. He then added, “If President Trump admitted to the many crimes and the grift that he has committed while president in office; stepped down and handed over the power of the presidency to somebody responsible, and not somebody in his own Cabinet; if he came forward with all the true reasons behind his pick for RFK Jr. as secretary of health and human services — and who is paying for the words that are coming out of RFK Jr.’s mouth — then maybe that would be some kind of courage that we would consider.”
The 2026 Profile in Courage Award ceremony is scheduled to take place on May 31 at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston, Massachusetts. The coveted award takes its name from JFK’s 1956 book of the same name.
This year, the Profile in Courage Award will be given to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for “protecting the independence of the Federal Reserve.” Additionally, the organization will honor the people of the Twin Cities of Minnesota.
Schlossberg’s remark comes amid the ongoing tension between the Kennedy family and Trump following his decision to rename the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. to “The Donald J. Trump and the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.” However, the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, RFK Jr., has refused to side with his family in publicly criticising the President.
