- President Donald Trump claimed that *Love Story *couple John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette would "bicker" and then be "kissing wildly" while at Mar-a-Lago.

- Trump also claimed that JFK Jr. told him he was going to run for office.

- Kennedy and Bessette, who died in 1999, has received a resurgence of fascination thanks to the FX series that dramatizes their relationship.

Donald Trump is sharing his own JFK Jr. story.

During an interview on Fox News' *The Five *on Thursday evening, the president claimed that the late subjects of FX's *Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette* had visited his private club, Mar-a-Lago.

"I actually knew him and liked him, and he liked me, believe it or not," Trump said, claiming that the political scion "actually put me on the cover of his magazine." Though Trump did appear on the cover of *George*, it wasn't until March 2000, nearly a year after Kennedy died.

The president then claimed that JFK Jr. and Carolyn "would go down to Mar-a-Lago together, and they had a very interesting relationship."

"They would bicker together, in other words have little fights, and then they would make up and start kissing wildly," he said.

"It was one of those relationships, and you never know how those relationships are going to turn out," he added. The president also said that he thought Kennedy would have "gone on, perhaps, to be the president."

"He was going to run for the Senate," Trump claimed. "He told me, and nobody would have beaten him."

Trump also called JFK Jr. and Carolyn's death "tragic" during the interview.

Kennedy's cousin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., currently serves as Trump's Secretary of Health and Human Services.

What 'Love Story' missed about Carolyn Bessette with the absence of Carole Radziwill

There has been a resurgence of fascination surrounding JFK Jr. and Bessette thanks to *Love Story*, which ended its record-breaking run on FX last night. The show is a dramatization of the couple's relationship, along with the tabloid media frenzy and family tensions that went along with it.

Kennedy's nephew, Jack Schlossberg, has been openly critical of *Love Story*'s depiction of the late couple. "Well, if you want to know someone who's never met anyone in my family, knows nothing about us, talk to Ryan Murphy," he said during an interview with *CBS Sunday Morning*'s Mo Rocca in March, calling out the FX series' producer.

"I would just want people who do watch the show to watch it with one letter in mind, and that's a capital F for fiction. The guy knows nothing about what he's talking about, and he's making a ton of money on a grotesque display of someone else's life."**

"I would hope that Mr. Murphy would donate some of the millions of dollars of profits that he's making to some of the causes that John championed throughout his life," Schlossberg continued. "Maybe he would donate some of that money to the JFK library to help keep President Kennedy's memory alive, but he's not. He's making money. This is not a documentary. And I'll leave it at that."

All episodes of *Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette *are available to stream on Hulu.
