The concept that trump deserves a Profile in Courage award made me laugh. I also love the fact that Jerome Powell and the City of Minneapolis got these awards. The grants of these awards to Powell and Minneapolis are basically great F##K Yous to trump

During an appearance on MS NOW’s “The Weekend,” Jack Schlossberg, son of Caroline Kennedy, burst into laughter at the suggestion that Donald Trump might want to be given one of the “Profiles in Courage" awards that have been given to Democrats and Republicans alike.

Appearing to promote the upcoming ceremony for the award given annually by the Kennedy family to recognize displays of courage similar to those former President John F. Kennedy, Sclossberg was put on the spot by co-host Jackie Alemany.

“There have been a number of notable recipients who have received the JFK Profile in Courage award in the past decade,” Alemany prompted her guest. “There's Jerome Powell, Barack Obama, Mike Pence, George H.W. Bush, Zelenskyy, Gabby Giffords, Mitt Romney, John Lewis. Obviously, a number of those people are Republicans.”

“Given Donald Trump's proclivity for anything with the last name Kennedy on it and his love of receiving awards, is there anything that would ever warrant your family's consideration of Donald Trump receiving this award? Anything that he could do that would make you all consider that?” she asked.

After a short burst of laughter, Scholssberg smirked and checked off a list of suggestions for the always attention-starved president.

“If President Trump admitted to the many crimes and the grift that he has committed while president in office, stepped down and handed over the power of the presidency to somebody responsible and not somebody in his own cabinet,” he replied with tongue in cheek.

1. I watched this when it happened

Scholssberg's answer was great. He's a quick thinker.

2. I suggest a "Profiles in Cowardice" award!

Of course it would be stiff competition in the upper echelons of the MAGAsphere for that trophy.

10. Every Republican in Congress right now deserves that one.

[question everything]

3. And start by acknowledging the loss of patriots: MaCain and Mueller

4. I still can't get over how much Jack Schlossberg looks

like his Uncle John. Catches my breath each time I see him.

9. Grandfather John

President Kennedy was his maternal grandfather

11. Uncle John is correct. John Jr was Caroline's brother and

therefore John Schlossberg's Uncle John.

I am familiar with the Kennedy family. I was 11 when JFK was inaugurated. I was 13 when the Cuban Missle Crisus happened and paid close attention because my older Navy brother was on a ship as part of the embargo.

I was 14 when JFK was assassinated.l and home sick from school that day. So I saw the events unfolding on TV as info came in gradually.

I remember John Jr and Caroline as young
children in the WH and at the funeral.

I was 18 when RFK Sr was assassinated.

John Schlossberg does not look at all like his grandfather, President Kennedy. Caroline resembles her father. John Jr resembled his mother, Jackie, more than his father, JFK Sr.

John Schlossberg resembles his Uncle John, Jr and his grandmother, Jackie, but not his grandfather, the president.

5. Whoa Good answer from Jack Schlossberg...

who is running for Congress this year. :

TY!

6. What the hell did Mitt Romney get one for?

[catrose]

7. And why Mike Pence?

Was not getting in the car Trump sent for him that major?

13. I'm guessing it was for not going along with Trump's attempt to throw out the results of the election.

That shouldn't be considered courageous - it was him doing his job as specified by the US Constitution. On the other hand, can you name another Republican who has ever stood up to Trump?

8. Great Book

I read the book Profiles in Courage.

Many of the profiles are of people whose political act resulted in them losing their next election.

For example, Senator Edmund G. Ross voted against conviction for impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson.

Ross lost his next election.

Trump has no morality or moral center.

I suspect, regardless of what his cult says, that Trump has no moral, ethical or religious beliefs.

It requires no courage to be always looking out for oneself.

12. Love that Kennedy wit.
