        @BeschlossDC you don't think Trump is exponentially uglier than Van Buren? VB looks distinguished.

        @bodiva @BeschlossDC is the "Ex" really necessary?

        @PaulKreppel @BeschlossDC He's probably making distinction that VB was ex at time of photo, not at present.

        @KnoxvilleKC @BeschlossDC late 1830's I think, but very poor quality

        @lseltzer @BeschlossDC That's a good guess. Until these pictures from 1840s I figured it was 1850 or so. Mathew Brady, etc. live & learn
