Lyndon B. Johnson: The POTUS Who Couldn't Handle His Business Behind Closed Doors!

In a move that would make even the most shameless TikTok influencer blush, President Lyndon B. Johnson reportedly loved to conduct serious White House meetings while seated on his porcelain throne—door wide open!
Yes, you read that right. While most of us would consider the bathroom a sanctuary of privacy, LBJ saw it as just another opportunity to get things done. Forget the Oval Office; Johnson was known for holding court from the comfort of his toilet, engaging in political discussions with aides and even Cabinet members. Talk about multitasking! According to those who witnessed it, this wasn't just a one-time bizarre incident but a regular occurrence. Johnson, with his larger-than-life personality, apparently saw no reason why nature's call should interrupt the flow of important political conversations. Imagine being a young staffer trying to brief the President while he's busy with his own 'briefings'! And if you're wondering about the reactions, well, let's just say not everyone was thrilled to be part of Johnson's bathroom cabinet. But in the chaotic world of 1960s politics, where the lines between decorum and disorder were often blurred, LBJ's open-door policy was perhaps just another quirk in a presidency full of them. Maybe he was ahead of his time, embracing the 'not caring what people think' attitude long before it became a social media mantra. Either way, it's a presidential power move that's unlikely to be forgotten—or repeated—anytime soon.
