Trump’s answer was spot on.

Presidents who make things happen are the ones who get shot at.

LINCOLN
MCKINLEY
T. ROOSEVELT
KENNEDY
REAGAN
TRUMP

You left out Gerald R. Ford. There were two attempts on him. In his case I think it was mainly people who were trying to destabilize the country after Nixon resigned. His being President was happenstance.

Movers shake things up.

The people living in the branches of the trees being shaken aren’t happy about that. It makes them nervous and uncomfortable, maybe even scared.

The guys like Obama and Biden achieve little to nothing, they stay within the defined operating systems and don’t really make any systemic changes.

In fact, the Obama and Biden type GROW the status quo and make those in government (government growth), corporate America getting tax breaks (green power), subsidies (EVs, cash for clunkers), benefiting from trade deals which cost the average American (China), mooching from welfare programs (SNAP / unemployment / Obama phones) very happy.

Those like Obama and Biden destroy net wealth, but they make those benefitting from government policies and spending in a way which benefits them personally, very happy.

It’s not some Obama that is likely to get shot because he’s black. That’s the ignorant over simplified world view of the left. It’s people like Trump that are agents of change.

To be fair, FDR, Truman, Nixon, Ford, Clinton, Obama all had serious attacks even including shootings. Not sure motives for the Nixon and Clinton plane incidents. However, Trump is subjected to an escalating threat environment.

Not quite correct. Someone took a shot at FDR, Puerto Rican communists tried to get Truman. At least two attempts on Ford. Someone crashed a plane into the WH when hussein was president. Someone else took shots at the WH when hussein was president. Several cases of someone scaling the WH fence.
