1. Not only impressed with himself enough to include his initials in his daughter’s names, Lydon Johnson was also obsessed with the size of his genitals to the point he would expose himself to other members of Congress
Cultivating a unique personal style and persona, President Lyndon Johnson, like most politicians, was unquestionably a vain individual prone to moments of excessive narcissism. Not only naming his daughters and pets to mirror his own initials, Johnson went to great lengths to exaggerate his roots and character to the public. Often seen wearing a cowboy hat and boots, Johnson spent as much as twenty-five percent of his presidency on his ranch near Austin, Texas. Amassing a 2,700-acre estate with hundreds of cattle, Johnson obsessed over the purity of his breeds and his status as a rancher.
Although his pride in his cultural roots might be understandable, Johnson was equally impressed by the size of his own manhood. Nicknaming his testicles “Jumbo”, during a renovation of the residential bathroom at the White House Johnson argumentatively demanded a jet installed to shoot water directly at his appendage. An audio recording of a conversation between Johnson and his tailor likewise reveals this self-obsession, with Johnson crudely requesting his pants altered to accommodate his massive testicles. Perhaps worst of all, Johnson garnered a reputation in Congress for exposing his member to colleagues in bathrooms after finishing urinating, loudly praising his openly brandished penis’ size.
