He hired a close relative to work in his administration. He’s got a back-channel to the Kremlin. He’s a disrupter who uses modern media to communicate directly to the public. And the prospect of a nuclear war under his leadership is more than a little unsettling. He was, of course, talking about President John F. Kennedy.
