I'm not absolving LBJ's part in Kennedy's and Ike's war.

Not exactly anti-war.

You are stuck with him FOREVER.

Trump seems somewhat astonished with the complexity of the responsibilities he's "won". If astonishment becomes being overwhelmed, then what?

It is becoming apparent just because a CEO is a CEO does not mean one can govern. Unless you are part of the worst Supreme Court in our history, of course.
