        I don't get that impression from this portrait at all. JFK looks stately and deep in thought, to say the least.

        Es verdad, esta pintura le quitó la inteligencia a la mirada de JFK.

        I sense a pattern here. Then there's the Keith Haring portrait of Trump, which I'm sure Donald didn't like either...pic.twitter.com/GTApdhnAX3

        Looks a lot like the JFK I was lucky enough to see in New Orleans. #

        I really like it. Catches him in pensive mood. He was a very complex, intelligent, politically savvy man. Taken from us 2 soon

        I find he looks pensive. Tinged with just a trace of saddness.

        I just read about this picture in Jean Kennedy's book. She seemed to really like it.
