Strong language advisory. I must admit my estimation of JFK just went up a few notches. I try to avoid swearing at all times, but when you are the man in charge there are times to be very blunt with subordinates to make certain that something truly foolish is not repeated. Trump is rude and crude at times, but he usually has a point behind what he says, and behind the scenes I doubt if many Presidents have not been as blunt as him.
Yes, I think Kennedy was more concerned about the reaction of the press than the $5000. extravagance. But the language was appropriate regardless.
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
I love it!
