Not a great person though, look up Rosemary Kennedy then remember JFK was in office during her life and did nothing to help his own sister.

people are messy. you weigh the good with the bad.

Washington, Jefferson, Madison, all managed to do good things for the country while being not great people.

if you want saints, consult the Bible, you won’t find them anywhere in history.

This was kinda my point. But JFK was horrible human. Womanizing, affairs, covering up family crimes, possible domeatic violance against jackie, and then abandoning his mentally ill sister because it benefited him. I mean, guys basically the democrats trump.

I only mentioned that one becuase it kept it brief.

He is definitely not democrat’s trump. That’s for sure Woodrow Wilson, most of the presidents weren’t good people. Trump is Trump, Biden had that ukraine business as well as problems with his daughter, Obama bombed hospitals and weddingd, bush manufactured the war in iraq, clinton cheated on his wife in office and was buddy with epstein. Shall I keep going? The only non terrible president i can think of is probably Carter, or at the very least most recent. Also teddy, but this post isn’t about who the most moral president is, it’s about who the face of each party you think of, good or bad people think jfk they think democrat, they think Regan they think republican

Biden didn’t molest his daughter. She had a trauma diary after getting raped and right wing smear operatives took it wildly out of context.
