Kennedy, Trump and Hitler

“Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country”; a statement made so many years ago by one of America’s most beloved Presidents, John F. Kennedy. JKF was not a President without conflict, trials and tribulations, or even scandal; still, he was loved by the majority of the country.

Dwight Eisenhower didn’t like him because of his youth. The Republicans didn’t like him because he was socialistic democrat, and a Catholic. Yet, this young man narrowly won the election from Richard Nixon in 1960 becoming the youngest man to be elected. Sadly, barely a thousand days into his presidency, JFK was shot and killed in Dallas, Texas, thus becoming the youngest President to die.

From the very beginning of his administration, JFK was tested. In April of 1961 he initiated the failed Bay of Pigs operation to try and overthrow Fidel Castro. Later that year, in June, he met with Nikita Khrushchev to deal with the division of Berlin and then in October of 1962 he met with Khrushchev, again, to deal with the Cuban Missile crisis. In 1963, Kennedy escalated the US’s involvement in Vietnam to try and curb the spread of communism.

Because of America’s moved beloved President, the Civil Rights movement made great leaps, the Peace Corp was established and the United States geared up its space program. Both good and bad came out of the Kennedy Presidency, as does almost every administration.

Where am I going with this article besides a history lesson? I just wanted to show that even though a man is both loved and hated, has an administration that doesn’t get everything done that was promised, presents a Presidency filled with trials and tribulations, that administration, that man, can do great things and become a great President.

Donald Trump is such a President. He is hated by the left, his policies are obstructed by the left, he is fighting a battle that he may not win on a lot of issues but he is fighting for America. He is fighting to make America great again, to keep the socialistic/communistic policies that a far left wing party would like to see instituted into our country. Does this mean that he will be the next John Fitzgerald Kennedy? Highly doubtful. What he very well could become is one of the most prolific policy changers that ever sat in the Oval Office if the left would just stop obstructing everything just because it comes from someone who they didn’t believe would ever become President of the United States.

The far left has often times compared Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. There is absolutely no comparison there. There is a much closer comparison between John Kennedy and Donald Trump. Hitler was a monster out to control the world and eliminate anyone that he did not believe was of the perfect race. Hitler was not a blond haired, blue eyed German. He was a dark haired, dark eyed Austrian. Hitler killed over 6 million Jews because he believed them to be the scourge of the Earth. He also ruled with an iron fist.

Donald Trump has made some pretty off-the-cuff remarks against several nationalities including our southern neighbors, the Mexicans. One thing that people need to understand is that he is not out to kill off any nationality. The only ones that Donald Trump wants to eliminate is the Radical Islamic Terrorist organization known as ISIS. If he was the same as Hitler, he would be killing off Muslims just as Hitler killed off Jews.

As for ruling with an iron fist, the Donald really isn’t. Yes, he gets extremely pissed off at the media and all the leaks of classified information from our own Intelligence agencies but he isn’t controlling what is going on and censoring said media. As for the leaks, that is a national security issue and needs to be dealt with.

So, in conclusion, please, let the President do what he needs to get our country back to the greatness it once was. The paid protests, the obstruction in Congress, the constant berating really needs to stop so that the rest of the world can see that we are a UNITED country that is strong and committed to keeping our borders secure, the defeat of ISIS and helping our allies protect themselves.
