Oh chill a little. JFK was great at one thing. He made Americans feel like they could do anything, and as a result...they did great things. He also was the first President in the modern era to prove that cutting tax rates could increase revenue to the government. Kennedy would be kicked out of the D party today.
I was there and I remember that feeling. Reagan could do that too. It’s one of the most important things a President can do, unleash the ambition of millions of citizens.
That’s what Trump is about.
In a humorous way this also reminds me of Voltaire’s last words. A priest was brought in to give him his last rites.
Priest: “Do you renounce Satan and all his works?”
Voltaire: “My good man, this is no time to be making enemies.”
JFK’s cabinet was called the “best and the brightest.” I think Trump’s cabinet will be seen at the level.
Side story. JFK had dinner in the wh with his advisors and cabinet. He told them, “This is the most brainpower in this room since Thomas Jefferson dined alone.”
The fluff of JFK is exactly what the image used for him is all about: the mythical Camelot that never existed.
The truth is JFK was bad news. His “ask what you can do for you country” that people swoon over is a “feel-good” socialist saying. Well socialism in America is unconstitutional and, therefore, tyranny and “feel good” socialism is still tyranny.
