Just consider the accusations that have been leveled at the president:

1. He has betrayed the Constitution, which he swore to uphold.
2. He has committed treason by befriending Russia and other enemies of America.
3. He has subjugated America’s interests to Moscow.
4. He has been caught in fantastic lies to the American people, including personal ones, like his previous marriage and divorce.

President Donald Trump?

No, President John F. Kennedy.

What lots of Americans don’t realize, because it was kept secret from them for so long, is that what Trump has been enduring from the national-security establishment, the mainstream press, and the American right-wing for his outreach to, or “collusion with,” Russia pales compared to what Kennedy had to endure for committing the heinous “crime” of reaching out to Russia and the rest of the Soviet Union in a spirit of peace and friendship.

They hated him for it. They abused him. They insulted him. They belittled him. They called him naïve. They said he was a traitor.

Kennedy wasn’t dumb. He knew what he was up against.

But did he think he might end up dead for promoting peace?

Mark Rich died for spilling criminal political beans. Small potatoes compared to promoting world peace or ending the new cold war.

Who is next?

Be seeing you
