          Don’t you dare. It doesn’t work if you change in the middle of the process.

      According to this we have, but didn’t know it.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_presidential_assassination_attempts_and_plots

      I wanted to see how many assassination attempts needed to happen for Trump to have the most. I thought 4 would do it after getting past Lincoln, who had 3.

      Apparently Obama had 11 attempts on his life.

      It was before I was alive, but I’m guessing no one gave much of a fuck when Sarah Jane Moore completely failed to assassinate Gerald Ford. Especially when Squeaky Fromme did the same thing two weeks earlier and was a Manson girl, so I’m guessing she stole most of the spotlight.

      Plus, Moore was totally inept.

      She was standing in the crowd across the street from the St. Francis Hotel, and she was about 40 feet (12 m) away from Ford[12] when she fired a single shot at him with a .38 caliber revolver.[2] She was using a gun which she bought in haste that same morning and as a result, she did not know that the sights were 15 cm (6 inches) off the point-of-impact at that distance, and as a result, she narrowly missed.[13]

      After realizing that she had missed, Moore raised her arm again, and Oliver Sipple, a former Marine, dove toward her and grabbed her arm, possibly saving Ford’s life

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sara_Jane_Moore

      It’s not even really clear why she did it other than being a complete nutbag.

      His fans think he’s under protection from God, and everyone else would respond somewhere between relieved and elated.
