If You Were Me ... Without Revealing A Family Surname

_______________________________________________________________________________________________


What if your Grandfather
made $200 million
during Prohibition
BUT
—unlike Al Capone—
he wasn't a gangster

He was a visionary
who knew that
one of his sons
would become
President of the United States

It might have been two sons
but I was 
fourteen years old
when my Father was
assassinated,
five years after
Presidential Uncle John 
was assassinated
 
That assassination
on November 22, 1963
has become
the greatest mystery
in the history
of murder
in the United States
***
 
A third son
of my visionary Grandfather
might have become President
had it not been 
for something 
that inspired
this magazine cover
 

 I was 15 years old
when Chappaquiddick
became
a family curse
and 
druggy + delinquent
behavior
defined my life

BUT NOW
the man Oliverio
refers to as
"Mr. T"
who is the 47th President
of the United States
has named me
to be
a cabinet member
in his Administration
and
—shockingly—
I have been endorsed
by none less than
President Trump's
Anti-Christ,
Bill Maher
 
All I will do
to end this page is
APOLOGIZE
FOR AN ABSENCE
OF HYPERLINKS
*
with one exception
being
my "follow-up page"
in the last paragraph
of a letter addressed to
***
