Is there a substantial or meaningful difference between John F. Kennedy and Donald Trump?

My initial response is No! Kennedy & his followers killed more humans than Trump can dream of. In fact, with JFK there could be no Donald Trump.

P.S. A matter to be considered: Deeply implanted attitudes, attitudes _active_ in Eisenhower, in Kennedy, in all the murderous U.S. governments of the last 50 years, are made explicit in various Trump escapades. Does that make a difference. Should we consider Eisenhower's virtual order for the murder of Lumumba 'better' than Trump on women?
