John Kennedy

Politics

December 3, 2020

Lloyd Bentsen famously said to Dan Quayle in a Vice Presidential debate, “I knew John Kennedy. You’re no John Kennedy.” As it turns out, Donald Trump is just like John Kennedy. He will be not be attending the inauguration of his successor just like John Kennedy did not to attend LBJ’s inauguration. Richard Nixon boycotted Jimmy Carter’s inauguration, and Franklin Roosevelt did not show up for Harry Truman’s. Abraham Lincoln famously did not show up for the inauguration of his top General, Ulysses S. Grant. Trump is planning on announcing his run for the presidency in 2024 from his basement while the eyes of the world will be on Washington, D.C. and President-elect Joe Biden. Actually, he won’t be missed, but he does need to return the Bible that he hijacked.
