You know who appreciated a little ballroom? LBJ.
Lyndon Johnson orders pants from Joe Haggar 

https://americanradioworks.publicradio.org/features/prestapes/lbj_haggar.html

LBJ: ... So leave me at least two and a half, three inches in the back where I can let them out or take them up. And make these a half an inch bigger in the waist. And make the pockets at least an inch longer, my money, my knife, everything falls out - wait just a minute.

Operator: Would you hold on a minute please?

[conversation on hold for two minutes]

LBJ: Now the pockets, when you sit down, everything falls out, your money, your knife, everything, so I need at least another inch in the pockets. And another thing - the crotch, down where your nuts hang - is always a little too tight, so when you make them up, give me an inch that I can let out there, uh because they cut me, it's just like riding a wire fence. These are almost, these are the best I've had anywhere in the United States,

JH: Fine

LBJ: But, uh when I gain a little weight they cut me under there. So, leave me , you never do have much of margin there. See if you can't leave me an inch from where the zipper (burps) ends, round, under my, back to my bunghole, so I can let it out there if I need to.

JH: Right

LBJ: Now be sure you have the best zippers in them. These are good that I have. If you get those to me I would sure be grateful

JH: Fine, Now where would you like them sent please?

LBJ: White House.

JH: Fine

The Donald Trump and George Bush Center for Intelligence
About the Donald Trump and George Bush Center for Intelligence 

[parody]

Our campus is more than just a place to work—it's a physical space that represents CIA's rich history and our commitment to the art of intelligence. Located in Langley, Virginia, CIA Headquarters includes the Original Headquarters Building, the New Headquarters Building, and the Grounds.

Since 1961, this secure campus has been considered "home" to thousands of dedicated women and men who work at CIA. In 2026, the compound was renamed the Donald Trump and George Bush Center for Intelligence. The name honors Presidents Donald J. Trump and George H.W. Bush and their unique roles in Agency history.

Today, you'll find more than just offices here. CIA Headquarters features sites like the famous Kryptos sculpture, memorials, art and museum galleries, and so much more. For security reasons, we do not offer tours to the public. However, our virtual Headquarters tour gives you the ability to wander through our campus and explore its unique sites. And if you're in the area, visit Trump National Golf Club, Washington, D.C., and experience Northern Virginia's top-ranked private golf club.

"The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit... America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soul — it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader." —Oliver Kornetzke
"Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul — all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but always has been — arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshiped like gospel. It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soul — it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader."
