It is ironic because of the huge difference between the two men. Trump is a divider and destroyer while Kennedy sought to unite and build. Trump courts controversy and chaos in his effort to “Make America Great Again.” Kennedy called on fellow citizens to serve their country rather than demand their country serve them.
