JFK seemed like the leader of Camelot, but really he was cheating on his wife constantly, including with a Russian spy. Nixon did Watergate, Clinton did Lewinsky (literally) and so on. High echelon politicians are always charismatic, but beneath that fake warmth most of them are pretty psycho. Making a decision to send like 10,000 people to their deaths and then sleep like a baby, you kinda have to be. With some it's harder to spot than with others, but politics, in its totality, is not a profession where good honest people get to the top. The only exception I can think of is Mahatma Gandhi.
Gandhi was no Mahatma. He was horribly racist, and a pedophile.
