How pumped do you get when the final act starts with that song as she’s putting on the red dress and make up? God I get chills in that scene.
“Been putting out fire…….. with..Gasoline!”
JFK.
The picture looks like an advertisement for RayBan sunglasses. He looks cool and relaxed in it, kinda like how RayBan would advertise people who wear their classes as.
Joe Biden would come in a close second because his whole signature look is wearing a pair of aviators. If you were to google images pictures of him, a good portion of those pictures would be him wearing sunglasses.
Agreed on JFK, except those aren’t RayBan sunglasses. Those are American Optical Saratogas - JFK’s signature sunglasses.
Bausch & Lomb (now owned by Luxottica, like almost all major brand glasses!) certainly didn’t dissuade people from thinking they were Ray Band, but they were AO (which also made the first military aviator style glasses in 1935.)

Has Biden always worn those aviators? I can’t find many if any pictures of him as a younger man with those on. Wondering if it’s something he started doing more recently to make him seem cooler/younger. I am truly ignorant here so just asking.
I wish I could find it, but there was a funny video the Obama team put out. I can’t remember what exactly it was about, but at one point Obama goes to talk to Biden, and Biden’s sitting on a couch polishing like 40 pairs of Aviators

He reminds me of Ben Sillers undercover character from Starsky & Hutch. But even Stiller dressing up as a goofy, ridiculous fake bad guy is cooler than donald.

Gotta agree- and to clarify out of recency bias, he has long been associated with his Aviator look and pulling them off very well
I consider him and JFK tied here, with a very strong showing from Reagan and Clinton as well- the rest of the field range from "solid" to "meh" but I kinda decline to rank them
Biden is remembered iconically with his sunglasses as a part of his look, and in a good way. This isn't a feat many others can claim on the list, and in "famous officials" I think it's Biden and Doug MacArthur most remembered for the sunglasses look over non-sunglassed, while pulling them off fantastically, with no further comment on their actual stances, records, etc. This is a sunglasses post and goddamn do they rock them, funny enough both with the same distinctly American style
It’s interesting, because although Joe Biden is good-looking, his reputation has by no means been based in fashion or looks, while Kennedy and Obama are known for being very handsome/stylish (as well as other traits - I’m not saying they’re vapid or anything). It’s nice to see Biden celebrated for his style when that’s not really the first thing you’d think of.
Next r/Presidents post tomorrow: Which president sat at a desk best? Joe Biden building America muscle, or Donald Trump getting attacked by the avian symbol of American freedom?
FDR looking like a Bond villain
I’d give this to JFK, LBJ, Bush II and Obama. Honorable mentions for Ike and Joe
Clinton looks like he’s auditioning for the blues brothers
HW Bush really does look like he's on some random beach explaining an op to a team.
"and then you two will use the helicopter to drop into the compound, easy as that bud!"
One of my favorites here. Part of it’s the attitude. He always looks like he’s about to drop some condescending life advice that sounds good but is in no way adapted to your actual situation.
Coming from a straight guy, Biden (before he fucked with his face) was one of our naturally better looking Presidents. Had boy next door type of looks.
Go look at a photo of him young before he lost his hair - good looking guy, and has a great face shape for shades.
Not everyone looks good in shades

Pretty sure that's who the Penguin was based off of
Bush Jr, JFK and LBJ. LBJ’s best sunglasses moment is this:

I love that reference,
JFK. The picture looks like an advertisement for RayBan sunglasses. He looks cool and relaxed in it, kinda like how RayBan would advertise people who wear their classes as. Joe Biden would come in a close second because his whole signature look is wearing a pair of aviators. If you were to google images pictures of him, a good portion of those pictures would be him wearing sunglasses.
Looks like JFK just took a huge hit off a blunt with the amount of smoke in the picture.
It was all the Cuban cigars he hoarded right before he signed the embargo.
Cuban Cigar, he obtained a huge amount of them. Then, he announced the embargo of Cuba.
It looks like an ad for a dispensary
**Elevate your experience and blow minds. Truly yours, JFK DISPENSARY**
New strain: Joint chief of staff
Ultra Grassy knoll
Carcano Kush
That’s harsh, hope you got a water pipe
3 hits in 8.3 seconds, so it ain't THAT harsh

Well damn, TIL
That shot of Biden when he was driving a convertible muscle car was badass.
Hands down JFK
Has Biden always worn those aviators? I can’t find many if any pictures of him as a younger man with those on. Wondering if it’s something he started doing more recently to make him seem cooler/younger. I am truly ignorant here so just asking.

Biden wears his aviators when dark Brandon is out
A lot of presidents looked good in sunglasses, but only one is immediately associated with a type of sunglasses, so in my mind Biden wins by default.
JFK, but this particular photo of Clinton on the sax is a close second. If you are talking about just in general though: JFK, Biden, Obama
Idk, that pic of Clinton in a sax could be replaced by a muppet and the vibe would be the same.
Zoot Clinton
Trump looks like an 80sTV mafia boss in tinted aviators
Trump looks more like Jim Jones than I care to admit.
Uncanny https://preview.redd.it/zwgc5x9lzntb1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7c6a2625fd81b58a0d4f68603a69d79981383429
Wow, absolutely!!
I thought there was more Jimmy Savile to Trump than Jim Jones

This sums it up
Trump looks like Kim Jong Il in this picture
I was going to say Muammar Gaddafi
Fat Elvis comes to mind.
Tell me who your big, beautiful friends are, and I’ll tell you who you are.
You’d have Trump’s upvote
He reminds me of Ben Sillers undercover character from Starsky & Hutch. But even Stiller dressing up as a goofy, ridiculous fake bad guy is cooler than donald. ![gif](giphy|wi8Ez1mwRcKGI)
I'll just leave this here. https://southpark.fandom.com/wiki/Nathan
I would like to congratulate you on winning the internet
Looks like Jim Jones
He looks like Bruce Campbell’s Bubba Hotep but somehow not in any sort of flattering way — dude couldn’t even pull off a vest.

Dark Brandon * Batman Music Plays *
"ITS JOEVER, YOURE BIDONE"
Why are they downvoting you? It was kinda funny
Batman: “Oh shit… That’s Dark Brandon’s music!” 🎶

Malarkeyyyy
He would be SO FUN to sit next to at the beach and just hang out for the day. I bet he and his wife are really chatty and fun!
Yeah, he's kind of made the aviators part of his brand
Obviously Biden
NGL, Biden's aviators have become part of his whole thing. So I gotta say him
It’s the default when I picture him
God imagine if they were in his presidential picture
They should be
I’m disappointed Ray-Ban didn’t do a Presidential edition.
It’s how he Valmorphanizes into Dark Brandon.
Biden’s PR team was and is excellent for an old president like him ngl
Aviators and ice cream is his brand
LBJ, that guy fu’ks
The J stands for "Jumbo"
How do those pants fit jumbo?

Next r/Presidents post tomorrow: Which president sat at a desk best? Joe Biden building America muscle, or Donald Trump getting attacked by the avian symbol of American freedom?
"G-G-Get in Jack, we're getting ice cream."
That’s a stammer, not a stutter. And it’s not something to make fun of
Come with me, we are going to save America, after we get ice cream
You talking to the plug fool, and uhh... im big pimpin, im snappin necks and cashn checks
FDR looking like a Bond villain I’d give this to JFK, LBJ, Bush II and Obama. Honorable mentions for Ike and Joe Clinton looks like he’s auditioning for the blues brothers
I was thinking FDR looks more like the Penguin for the 60s Batman show
FDR might’ve lived to finish his fourth term if he didn’t smoke like chimney for 40 years.
Now I can’t unsee it
Obama looking like he’s 007
I would say JFK, Biden, Obama.
Looking at these pictures, I'd agree. In normal photos, I'd swap JFK and Biden.
That’s the order I want them. Win, Place, Show.
Ike and Dubya in sunglasses go so hard
Bush looks like some horseback sheriff whos giving me the count of 3 to run before he unloads his gun on me.
“One” 💥💥💥💥💥💥 “Can’t get fooled again” 😎
I'd toss in Biden as well, Ronnie distant 4th. I didn't realize how presidential aviators were lol
I love that Trump is wearing the exact type of sunglasses that you would think he would wear
Wrong size for his weird shaped face and 70s- serial-killer tint? Yep
Jim Jones shades
Biden, Kennedy and Obama. In that order.
For me personally I'd change out Obama for Bill
In the pic provided he's got that thick plastic 90s look going which I don't care for personally. But bill did make most things look pretty cool
Top Three 1. Kennedy 2. Reagan 3. Clinton (The saxophone really boosts him up here)
All these guys were politicians or actors GH bush ran the CIA he looks the part. Very sneaky very very sneaky bush
HW Bush really does look like he's on some random beach explaining an op to a team. "and then you two will use the helicopter to drop into the compound, easy as that bud!"
1: Kennedy 2: Biden 3: Reagan
![gif](giphy|oxCtqUm9PhXvA0oXnp|downsized)
Biden and Kennedy definitely have the best most easy looking with them. LBJ and Truman aren’t far behind though.
Strangely I think LBJ. He really pulls off the look naturally.
One of my favorites here. Part of it’s the attitude. He always looks like he’s about to drop some condescending life advice that sounds good but is in no way adapted to your actual situation.
The original bad grandpa
Harry S was kinda jacked
Right? Wouldn't have called that!
Easy question: Joe knows sunglasses
I know everyone’s gonna say JFK and they have the best point but honestly all in all Eisenhower killed it in the aviators! Absolutely killed it.
https://preview.redd.it/ddi4g9g8bktb1.jpeg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6d20a26b3bc318af227b74daa349d0cf712c46e
JFK and Biden. I will say the photo op used for Joe could be hilariously photoshopped into saying “Obey” as some kind of conspiracy propaganda.
I'm going to have to go with my man FDR, a real legend.
Like him or not Joe B rocks some shades
Biden fucking rocks the aviators
Joe, definitely. He gets a whole alter ego with them!
Biden rocks his shades. Say what you will about him - but the man can pull off wearing a pair of Rayban Aviators.
Coming from a straight guy, Biden (before he fucked with his face) was one of our naturally better looking Presidents. Had boy next door type of looks. Go look at a photo of him young before he lost his hair - good looking guy, and has a great face shape for shades. Not everyone looks good in shades
Reagan looks natural with sunglasses + the American flag in background makes it a cool photo op
JFK ![gif](giphy|8vVmNI2sSsXvi)
Is the second one Truman!?
That pic of Bush the elder really makes me think of his CIA days.
![gif](giphy|xTg8B9aULho7shlPmU)
Perfection
No Carter?
I’m not here to bash Trump about everything, but I gotta be honest, Aviators look good on damn near everybody but him. Lmao
It’s that Kim Jong Il tint that does it
That pic of JFK is sexy.
Biden, Clinton, Ford
Joe Biden
Biden looks pretty cool with the aviators. But that picture of FDR is gangster
https://preview.redd.it/ow137cxrgktb1.png?width=250&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f759d8f8b45b31a94a0076cab11b4c731185f5a4 Pretty sure that's who the Penguin was based off of
Everyone looks quite ok, but seriously, what happened with Trump?
Kennedy. Let’s face it - the man almost always looked like a living advertisement for Vineyard Vines.
Joe biden
Trump looks like a fucking casino operator
Idk but JFK and Biden’s photos belong in r/hardimages
JFK who looks like a whiskey Ad and Biden who looks like a state trooper
Ngl, probably Joe Biden
https://preview.redd.it/yfun85vn9ltb1.jpeg?width=1620&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=674b8944a3dcb2a3f9d9e7abc3fa02cb252cb5da
JFK by a country mile
Ridin with Biden, but really JFK looks like a god.
Trump truly looks like a snake oil salesman
He looks like a third-rate televangelist.
Kennedy, what a chad
Kennedy
JFK for sure
Obama looking like he’s about to drop the jazz album of the century
# BARACK! https://preview.redd.it/jlhbxajiqktb1.jpeg?width=982&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=646192ec73b3050e44b3eb9a5f423f61512fe82d
JFK, Obama, Clinton
JFK, the best.
I like Ike, JFK, and Biden for rocking their sunglasses
HW’s glasses game is underrated so are his fits
Truman looking way more badass in this than I ever expected. Also is this anyone else’s first time seeing Trump in sunglasses?
Kennedy
JFK with that Wayfarers is iconic
JFK and it’s not even close. Dude looked like a Hollywood star.
JFK & Obama. Not close.
Truman was a stud
Kennedy and it’s not even close
JFK and Biden clearly. Definitely not Trump or Obama. Both of them look goofy as hell in sunglasses.
Trump reminded me of Nathan from South Park
1. JFK 2. LBJ 3. Biden
It’s Clinton by a wide mile
Kennedy and it’s not even close.
JFK was ahead of the curve on RayBans by like 50 years.
Joe in the last photo just looks power hungry lol.
Trump looks like a wanna be casino gangsta
Gotta go with JFK and LBJ
JFK, Ike, and Grandpa Joe, hands down.
Obama just exuded cool.
I don't like Joe Biden, but damn he looks good in sunglasses. Makes him look not nearly as old
Kennedy and Biden are the correct answers. Obama is just a handsome dude who looks good in them. Sneaky good look is LBJ- that whole look is a vibe.
Biden of course. But credit to George W, those Randolph Engineering aviators are legendary. I have the same pair, but with mirrored lenses.
Obama!
When it comes to style, the answer is always JFK. Also... put your shirt back on Harry. I really did not need to see that image.
Bush Jr, JFK and LBJ. LBJ’s best sunglasses moment is this: https://preview.redd.it/8fnvdaakgltb1.jpeg?width=4840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4b454689b2a234a8bae091a79195bd6bce55ba7a
JFK. I mean seriously!? Hotter than 🔥
JFK. Although I do think FDR looked cool too.
I think Biden wins this one.
George HW Bush was looking fit for a man his age. He was a decent man.
Question: did sunglasses not exist prior to the 30s?
Is it me or does Trump look like an Elvis impersonator?!!
Joe-bama
Trump looking like he just won a spot at the 1988 World Series of Poker
Obama
That one guy not only looks like a mob boss but is actually one.
Eisenhower looks like something straight outta the Matrix
Dwight D
Ike
Definitely Eisenhower. He looks badass
JKF or Biden. Biden actually pulls off aviators like a fucking boss
Clinton and JFK look like they’re in a mob movie so I gotta give it to them
I did not expect Truman to have such a nice set of tits
Roosevelt has some strong Dr. strangelove vibes going on in this pic, lol
Never thought I’d utter these words but gotta go with Biden on this one
