I feel like you’re lying, but I don’t know enough about middle names to dispute it.
Although, Washington didn’t have a mustache. That means SOMEONE was the first president to have a mustache.
And there’s never been a president with purple hair. Harris, I’m lookin’ at you. Be bold!
as an expert in middle names (been working with them my whole life) i can confirm it is true
As someone who works with middle names, maybe you can’t tell but this middle name is in a lot of distress.
What’s the presidential tattoo situation?
That would be Lyndon B. Johnson, who is said to have had a hell of a tramp stamp.
Is that what he was always showing people?
No. It was his Johnson.
Just goes to show how easy history is to alter tho. If he can do this as a one-off for shits and gigs just think what the people doing it on purpose are up to. I feel like I can hear my AP history teacher screaming “PRIMARY SOURCES” from the farthest depths of my subconscious.
Primary sources make shit up too tho
My AP history teacher liked to make up stuff. But like, he’d say he made it up right after telling the made-up thing.
TIL I’m your AP history teacher (just kidding, but I do enjoy recreationally lying to children)
Was your brother my 6th grade history+english teacher who spent more of class time having recess or playing Risk (the board game) than anything else?
Unfortunately, I’m an only child. But I could ask my sisters whether they have any siblings who fit that description.
I mean that’s a great illustration of the importance of those primary sources in a memorable way, especially if you’re out of school now and it’s stuck with you that long.
Maybe the museum exhibit was about his nephew?
