**** I don't know that there's any evidence that ''any'' of the original trilogy are in continuity any more. Yes, the X-Men still end up existing, but that's because Professor X has Cerebro and could still have eventually found them all, albeit in a totally different way than we've seen. Rogue has her SkunkStripe, but that could easily have been due to the fact that she's twenty years older in that scene than she was in the original film, and it her hair was always going to turn that color, she just wasn't prematurely aged by Magneto's machine. My key evidence for the fact that none of the films happened is the fact that [[spoiler: Jean is alive.]] Even if ''The Last Stand,'' never occurred, she would still have turned into the Phoenix and had to be killed. But, it IS implied she became the Phoenix due to her exposure to that machine in the first film: therefore, if she didn't undergo her change, that means she didn't get exposed to the machine, and probably means the events at the dam in ''X2'' didn't happen either. There's other things that must have changed, like the situation with Stryker, and the fact that Mystique may not want to work with Magneto like she did in the first trilogy after he tried to kill her, but I think mainly Jean is our strongest evidence that the timeline has been completely rewritten.

**** Well, the viral marketing campaign for the movie ''did'' strongly imply Mystique was involved-or at least that Magneto thought she was- but I don't know that that would be canon to the film itself. To say she had no beef with Kennedy may not be accurate, though, considering the whole Cuban Missile Crisis thing in the last movie. Nevertheless, there isn't any evidence one way or another as to what really happened that day.

*** Charles has always been an idealist at heart who likes giving his enemies second chances. That just paid off for him, given that he trusted Mystique to do the right thing. Plus, the film repeatedly states the importance of keeping hope. Given hated enemies second chances is pretty damn hopeful. Call it what you want, but it's perfectly consistent with Charles' character and the themes of the film.
Added DiffLines:
** Trask ''had'' tried to sell secrets to foreign enemies, and the spectacular, caught on live television, failure of his Sentinels makes him indirectly responsible for an attempt on the President's life and probably a couple other deaths. While they probably did start up some clandestine solution to future threats, it's perfectly feasible for them to be wary of any solution Trask had to offer.

*** I don't think the early revelation of mutants necessary changes the timing of the Mutant Registration Act that drove the plot of the first film. Mystique saving the president's life probably built much more sympathy for mutants among the general public than they had during ''X1'' originally, but that doesn't mean that Magneto isn't stirring up trouble in the interim. It's clear from Mags's attempt to assassinate Tricky Dick that Logan's efforts hadn't succeeded in turning him aside from his mutant supremacist path (perhaps Hank wasn't ''entirely'' wrong: History was to an extent self-correcting, even if the worst parts of the future were averted). Attitudes towards mutants are naturally going to be divided between extreme opposition, full support, and moderates filling the scale in between. It's completely possible that by 2000, Magneto's actions have pushed enough of the moderates to the other side for the Registration Act to be drafted. Now, perhaps in the new timeline the Registration Act is intended to protect mutants as much as it is to keep track of them, but it doesn't make it any less short-sighted, and something that would drive an extremist like Magneto into a more violent response, thus leading to the events of ''X1''.

It's left completely blank whether Kennedy's assassination had anything to do with him being a mutant, but apparently whoever commissioned the murder knew well enough to track down and capture Magneto, who was trying to prevent it.

** The other answer is to connect it to the comics since Kitty was originally the one to be sent back.
* At the end of ''Days of FuturePast'' [[spoiler: Past'', we know that ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' never happens, which also means neither does ''Film/TheWolverine'', as it was directly driven by the events of ''X3''. Also, Jean Grey is alive and well, which causes problems with the ending of ''Film/X2XMenUnited''. On the other hand, Rogue is still sporting her SkunkStripe, which was caused by Magneto's machine in the [[Film/XMen original film]]. Not to mention Rogue is at the school at all, as is Wolverine. So that begs the question: What parts of the original trilogy's continuity are ''still'' in continuity? Did the events of ''X-Men'' and ''X2'' still happen, only in BroadStrokes with a few tweaks such as Jean not dying saving the others in ''X2''? Or is there some other explanation for details like Rogue's hair and both her and Logan still being X-Men? Or should it just be chalked up to the MST3KMantra?]]MST3KMantra?
** Basic answer is as you said. First two X-Men movies still happened, but with minor tweaks and The Last Stand is out the window. The Wolverine still properly happened though.
* Why didn't they keep Quicksilver on the team? He would have been very useful in getting Mystique out of the building before she shot Trask without the public finding out about mutants.

** It's probably intended to be an extension on her phasing ability. As there's neither a Jean Grey or Scott Summers by the time of the "Bad Future," it wouldn't have been possible to use Rachel, who performed the same task in the comics. It could work if you consider that she's not phasing through matter, but through time, instead.
