2 attempts on Ford were foiled, 1 other on Reagan ( both by Hinkley who was going to shoot him earlier but was forced to hold off) who was shot on the second attempt. Andrew Jackson was shot at. Theodore Roosevelt was shot and gave a long speech bleeding profously before getting treatment. Franklin Roosevelt was shot at 5 times. There was an attempt on Truman's life. There was a foiled plan to kill Nixon. Carter was nearly assasinated. Both Bushes survived attempts. A bombing plot was foiled to assasinate Bill Clinton. A man attempted to assasinate Obama and was arrested near the national mall before he could carry out his plan
Yeah and several assassination plots and failed attempts, somebody shot Teddy Kennedy but he was too much of a bad ass to let it bother him. Regardless, the quality of the protection has probably gone up from where it used to be.
They still teach this shit in school too, that it was the “magic bullet”. Taught my class that early on, had to learn myself all that was horseshit later on. When you really dive deep into this assassination, it’s a fucking trip.
It was mentioned in one of them I'm sure. I have seen it in more than one documentary. He also made Jackie stand next to him to see him become the president and acted obscene on the plane.
