‘Ask Not What Your Country Can Do for You…’
Jan. 20, 2025, marked not only the second inauguration of Donald J. Trump as president of the United States, but also the 64th anniversary of the inauguration of John F. Kennedy, who was sworn in on Jan. 20, 1961.
Kennedy’s inaugural speech, written by JFK along with advisor Ted Sorenson, has become renowned as an exemplar of soaring, inspiring oratory — exemplified by the line, “ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.”
Jack Schlossberg, son of JFK’s daughter Caroline and the slain president’s only grandson, acknowledged Monday’s inauguration not with a nod to his grandfather’s speech, but rather by taking to Instagram to poke fun at his cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s speech patterns.
In the short segment, Schlossberg makes fun not only of RFK Jr.’s voice — he suffers from a neurological condition called spasmodic dysphonia — but also of what he apparently considers to be his cousin’s obsequiousness to the new president, as well as his reportedly unusual travels with dead animals.
RFK Jr., who is Trump’s choice to run the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, also has played a large role in urging the 47th president to remove all remaining redactions from government documents regarding the assassination of President Kennedy.
In this post, I would discuss the famous quote by President John F. Kennedy, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” I would delve into the importance of civic duty, community involvement, and taking responsibility for the well-being of our society as a whole. I would encourage readers to think about ways they can contribute positively to their communities and make a difference in the world around them. Through volunteering, advocacy, and active participation in civic life, we can all play a role in creating a better future for ourselves and future generations.
