I searched my US state, ready for horrors, and the first items shown were Reelect Ronald Reagan buttons. So I've now gone down a rabbit hole of searching US presidents, they have a surprising button collection. I like "Impeach the Cox-sacker" https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/C_1985-1233-... and on the subject of Nixon, why is this $1 bill in https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/C_2016-4060-...

Also, bizarrely, Nixon is listed as "Richard Nixon," Trump as "Donald Trump," Kennedy as "John F Kennedy," the Bush's as "President George Bush" and "President George W Bush," and for some reason Obama as "Barack Hussein Obama." Are they worried he'll be confused with all the other Barack Obamas? Why are only the Bush's "president?"

Searching "president," lists "President Saddam Hussein" so not only the Bush's. They also have Hussein toilet paper https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/W_EPH-ME-5
