JFK was not a good president. But the press made it out to be "Camelot"

You are running afoul of the right wing woke crowd who thinks everything they’ve been taught is 180 degrees from reality. Hitler was a cool dude, etc.

JFK was part of the left wing ratchet. The commie press loved him, as you implied. Sure, he wasn’t as bad as Biden or Obama, but he was about Clinton level left.

You need todo a little more research on JFK’s foreign policy. The Bay of Pigs was a mistake and hehe acknowledged it as such.
However his dealings with the Soviets were beneficial to America and maintained a position of strength.
It was really the Johnson Administration
that got us knee deep in Viet Nam…Unquote

JFK gets all the credit for getting the USA into the VietNam war, JFK gave the CIA the green light to assasinate the SouthVietNam president and from that point on THE uSA was inextricably in the war….another case of jfk bumbling foreign policy…..

3) JFK was also reportedly looking into doing something with the Federal Reserve.

That right there was enough to get you killed or your unsinkable ocean liner sunk after an iceberg

LBJ ramped up Vietnam, but JFK got us into it. He didn’t just sent advisors but sent 15,000 troops. And was planning to send more in his term. He was a typical devious perverted Democrat politician. His Dad helped him steal the 1960 election in Illinois.
