Dec. 31 (UPI) -- Of all the extraordinary events of 2025, one of the most amazing and inexplicable is why Donald J. Trump seems to be channeling John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
Despite the exceptional display of bad taste and vulgarity by inserting his name above that of Kennedy's in renaming the Center for the Performing Arts, that was no accident. For reasons known only to himself, is Trump attempting to remake himself in Kennedy's image?
Consider the evidence: While the Kennedys made the White House the center of culture with invitations to the most creative members of society in the arts, science and other fields, Trump is doing the same with the new East Wing ballroom. He is trying to bring the cultural splendor of the Kennedys with a Mar-a-Lago twist to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
But, more importantly, while Trump is crafting his actions in line with Making America Great Again and America First, is he stating in a profoundly different, yet eerily similar way, JFK's promise "to pay any price and bear any burden ... to assure the survival of liberty"?
