He said a lot of things that resonate still today. And perhaps he may have followed through with some of them had he not been killed by the CIA.
But, there have been plenty of politicians in my time who have said all the right things, just as JFK did, to turn out to be shills (i.e., Reagan). So it's difficult to say what he would have actually gotten done.
Trump on the other hand got things done unlike any president in my time. Perhaps ever, but none of us can possibly know that with any amount of certainty. But at least in the last several decades, no president has come anywhere close to fighting for the people the way Trump did in 4 years. Ending wars, fixing broken trade deals, increasing border security, going after megacorp and its hold on the American people, etc., etc.
Even with all of that, I think to give Trump the label of "Hero" is unearned. Patriot, perhaps. JFK, perhaps. But the word "Hero", unbeknownst (or maybe not) to the masses who insist that a dominos driver wearing a mask is a "hero", the word has a specific meaning, that continues to be degraded over time.
In a way, certainly.

I agree with all you've said. Thanks for the very thoughtful response.
