Who remembers during JFK presidency

It was common to see images of him playing or spending time with his kids and wife? I've never seen Trump spending time with Barron or playing with his grand kids. That's probably what is best for Barron to limit his exposure to him.

I think Baron is better off without contact with him. I think he is an abuser, most likely psychological but an abuser non the less. Melania needs to take a deep breath and get the hell out of there with her child.

Trump stated in an interview somewhere that he didn't really get too involved with his kids until they started to be able to discuss business. He is an inspiration as a father

Not that Kennedy was a wonderful husband. The man has serious flaws, but he wasn't a total jerk to everyone around him. Those pictures are great. Like I said, President Obama with his girls are also some of the best presidential pictures. You can see how much he truly cares about Sasha and Malia.

obama, clinton, and carter all had family fun times.

don't recall ever seeing any such pics of lbj and family.

but very few family photos for republican presidents, and all of them seemed very phony with the possible exception of reagan and nancy (albeit without any kids).
