        I recall how the adults around me were very nervous this week in 1962.

        I also remember. I wasn't sure exactly why adults were worried but do remember they seemed to trust JFK to do the right thing.

        Ah the good old days when you felt like you could trust the POTUS even when you disagreed with them politically.

        This is the kind of government lies I'm totally good with, for the preservation of humanity, and not of one orange man's ego.

        Wonder why- he looks good in a hat. Maybe they were going out of style?

        No, he thought he looked awful in them. Even kept taking his top hat off during Inauguration Day. Would neverbe snapped wearing 'funny hats'

        Huh. So he lied for national security purposes. Did he get hammered by the press? No. Why? Because that’s what gvrnment does

        You are a child. Go to the library and learn the full context of the time--also gov must use prudent discretion when dealing with matters of national security & war. Learn what it means to think. Your comment shows you are just reacting now.

        Uh I 100% agree with you (other than ur insults). You misread my tweet. I was saying that JFK lying in this instance was ok.
