Don’t worry. I’m just waiting for the movie about Obama planning and executing the Navy Seal ops for the rescue of the ship captain.

Kennedy inherited three operations that were underway when Eisenhower left office.

The Cuban invasion force, the Tibetan army, and the Viet Nam counter insurgency.

In short order he dropped the Cubans onto the beach into the waiting arms of Castro's army. He abandoned the Tibetans to the Chinese, and he pulled Lansdale out of Viet Nam and “accidentally” assassinated Diem.

Kennedy was a disaster.

I'm not sure...Would it be better for Hollywood to exploit Americas failures, such as the Bay of Pigs?

"President Kennedy -- who had declared just days before the invasion that the United States had no plans to invade Cuba -- was proven a liar before the world."

Of course that was the cover, to use non U.S. backed supporters, to hopefully maintain plausible denial.
