        Always sad reading that plaque in the Portrait Gallery, since I think it's great. Also Rockwell's Nixon is weird but underratedpic.twitter.com/ox2VgbAsv1

        Fortunately LBJ did not have the thing destroyed, as did Churchill destroy the official portrait he disliked. Odd contrast.

        I agree. Made him look like an undertaker (not intended as a Vietnam War statement).
