Ron Bulman Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I know it's an impossible question to answer but if running against him how would JFK have responded to Trump's actions as president? I don't know that JFK had an immigration policy, it wasn't an issue at the time that I know of. But this article made me wonder, would he have opposed "chain immigrants", bringing your family to the US for legitimate immigrants? https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/pelosi-uses-melania-trumps-family-to-slam-presidents-immigration-plan/ar-AAC9ew0?li=BBnb7Kz Then I started to wonder about civil rights and foreign policy. Did the death of one President lead to this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephanie Goldberg Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I've always thought there was some cause and effect in the world, but I never connected it to JFK until I started doing some serious reading in the last couple of years. So to answer your question - once I would have laughed. Now, I'd say...maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current president has hanging on the wall of the Oval Office in essence an endorsement from the only occupant of it forced to resign or face impeachment. A Public embarrassment to us all as a Nation. Edited June 1, 2019 by Ron Bulman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie Goldberg Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Speaking of Richard Nixon, I am in the middle of reading Spooks by Jim Hougan. This will be old news to anyone else here, but I am shocked by the number of times Nixon's name has appeared in relation to other events in this book. Clearly, I never fully appreciated how Tricky Dick earned his nickname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Bulman Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 The assassination of JFK gave us Johnson. The assassination of RFK gave us Nixon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
