Washington was basically the 18th-century equivalent of a social media influencer – he got a 100% approval rating as the only president unanimously elected by all state representatives. Talk about #PresidentialGoals!

2. The White House's First Resident Wasn't Who You Think

Plot twist: George Washington never lived in the White House! John Adams was the first president to move in, and the paint was literally still drying. Imagine the Yelp review: "Great location, but strong paint fumes. 3/5 stars.”

3. The Presidential Language Club

Martin Van Buren was the first president born as an American citizen, and English wasn't even his first language – he spoke Dutch! Imagine today's Twitter reactions to a bilingual president's inaugural speech.
