Joseph P. Kennedy Sr.
The OG Kennedy, aka the founding father of America's most cursed political dynasty. Millionaire banker, bootlegger (allegedly), Hollywood hustler, and U.S. ambassador to the UK who somehow thought appeasing Hitler was a chill idea. Basically if Logan Roy had a Boston accent and Catholic guilt.
Known for being rich, ruthless, and real shady, Joseph P. was the type of guy who made deals behind the scenes, told his kids to smile for the cameras, and then tried to run the world from a dark oak-paneled study.
Secret antisemitic vibes? Yeah… definitely not so secret. The dude was openly saying things like “democracy is finished in England” and praising fascist regimes while Jews were being persecuted. Got pulled from his ambassador job because he was out here acting like Neville Chamberlain’s hype man on steroids.
Father of JFK, RFK, and Teddy, but also lobotomized his daughter Rosemary because she was “too independent.” Family man? More like Game of Thrones: Massachusetts edition.

Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. made a fortune, raised a bunch of future politicians, and still somehow fumbled the bag by talking too much about Hitler.
