Isn’t there a picture SOMEWHERE of LBJ
actually smiling?
 
Daniel Patrick Moynihan easily...

Ooph. For one moment I thought you meant the actor/comedian Bobby Moynahan on 'Saturday Night Life'
Then again, he DID play a pretty good parody of our president on multiple times already. And we already had an actor as president who did pretty well, considered....

Smiling in every photograph is a fairly recent concept, and certainly in official presidential portraits. JFK isn't smiling in his, nor is Eisenhower, or FDR. Truman is somewhat smiling in his, as is Hoover. I think it's only Nixon onwards that presidents smile in every official portrait, although I think Trump lacks a smile in one of his, possibly Obama too.

Trump always seems to be glowering @
something.
