John F. Kennedy
Described by Way_2_Go_Donny as a "Pill-popping, booty-slaying, trust-fund, back alley politician," JFK's flaws are evident. However, his charismatic charm and the tragedy of his assassination have contributed to a perception that surpasses his actual character. Kennedy's pivotal role in civil rights issues coincided with his re-election aspirations.
JFK's legacy includes one of the most notorious military blunders in U.S. history: the Bay of Pigs invasion. While a skilled orator briefly united the nation, his time in office was cut short. Despite being featured on the half-dollar coin, Kennedy's impact is largely symbolic.
