Why does djt appear to be on a Kennedy revenge tour? [View all]
From tearing up the Rose Garden, to shuttering the Kennedy Center, to redecorating the WH, to yearning to build a 25-story arch that obscures the Arlington Cemetery view of the Lincoln Memorial -- to tapping RFK Jr to serve in his Cabinet when he knew the family would be seriously annoyed...
