His cousin, JFK, Jr, failed the NY bar exam twice before eventually passing it in July 1990. He was smart but allegedly forgetful, likely due to ADHD and short-term memory retention. The press were merciless. Unlike his cousin, John wasn't a strung-out junkie, cruel, or an asshole. A GOOD guy!
Darth Kater (@darthkater.bsky.social) reply parent
John likely had undiagnosed or untreated ADHD. He was intelligent, smart, and talented. From early childhood on, he was impulsive, accident-prone, forgetful, misplaced things, and failed the bar exam more than a couple of times (likely due to short-term memory issues). Allegedly, a good, kind man.
