While I believe that Kennedy was truly assassinated by the CIA, I have to ask this question: is there any shred of truth to the conspiracy theory that sometimes gets brought up that says that Kennedy didn't actually die, and the whole event was orchestrated by him in order to hide from public view and rule the USA from the shadows?
Basically, I'm referring to this: http://www.cabaltimes.com/2015/06/29/jfk-faked-death/

Personally, it seems way too far fetched to me. It probably is just a psyop like the flat earth one. But I can't help but wonder: why did """they""" kill him, then? If """they""" have enough power to kill the President in front of the entire nation, how could JFK be elected in the first place? Couldn't """they""" have chosen a better candidate, if JFK wasn't as compliant as """they""" liked?

The tale of the "good" President who loves his country and wants to help his citizens but gets brutally murdered by the "deep state"... I don't know, it feels too cliche. I don't believe that it was ever possible to elect a good person as President, there are way too many tools that """they""" could have used to prevent this. That's like believing that "Trump is really fighting against the deep state, guyz! He's gonna save us!!!"

So, I was wondering what people here thought about the whole thing. It smells fishy for sure.
