Your photo of Lyndon Johnson stepping off the elevator shows him smiling.
Together with The Wink, a cynic might doubt his protestation:
All I have I would have given gladly not to be standing here today.
He begins his presidency here:

In four and a half years he would be announcing:

Lyndon Johnson - Remarks on Decision to not seek Reelection
What an amazing year. 1968. Tet was won, but Cronkite says it was lost, so Johnson quits. King is shot. Bobby is shot. Bremer shoots Wallace. The Whole World Was Watching. Nixon is elected.
In the Giancana book is the advice of Sam aka Mooney Giancana: To know who did it, look around to see who's still standing.
Nixon was taken down with Watergate.
And when Hunt died he pointed at Johnson.
Yet Zen advises do not mistake the finger pointing at the moon, for the moon.
