JFK wasn’t a bad president, but he is over rated. His failures are stealing the 1960 election, Bay of Pigs, letting the USSR build the Berlin Wall, failing to let the mafia kill Castro, and sending the first US troops to Viet Nam (even though I doubt he would’ve ever escalated the war to troop strength of 500,000 like LBJ did). His successes are a tax cut, strong military, Cuban Missile Crises, and laying the ground work for the US space program. He was killed by the Mafia, not the CIA like Oliver Stoned says.
