Why do MAGA weirdos love to include the J initial? Do they think it makes him seem more distinguished and less like an incompetent baffoon? Pretty sure even Trump when constantly speaking in the third person like a psychopath doesn’t include his middle initial, at least not the vast majority of the time.
Fair enough haha. Decided to look it up myself and apparently it was a trend started by Franklin D. Roosevelt. Newspapers liked using the initials since it saved space in headlines so it kind of stuck around.

My guess is that it has to do with the president lots of people speak fondly of, John F. Kennedy. Trump fans want him to be revered in the same way.
That’s not fair, lots of people would like to remember Trump in the same way they remember JFK.
Not entirely on topic but I’m curious, why do people include the F. In John F. Kennedy? Was there another well known John Kennedy at the time?
Good question. I don’t know, and I’m too lazy to look it up.
