Nah, Regan was shot and somebody tried to do Bush in but failed. Id LOVE to know how many attempts the Secret Service stopped before they started under Obama.
Looks like there was a precious attempt on trump where someone stole a forklift and tried to ram the motorcade, but they got stuck before getting very far and police were surprised when he said it was an assassination attempt and not just "wanted a forklift".

What is this referring to? Bush Sr. with the Japanese dinner, or Bush Jr. with the pretzel?

Or when that guy threw his shoes at Bush Jr?

Maybe whoever said the US is a third world country wearing a Gucci belt wasn't so wrong after all. Lol

The US by definition cannot be a third world country.
Third world is literally defined by not being aligned with Russia or the US.

Well, that is the original definition how the terms first, second and third world originated. But in modern-day use, they mean something different.

No, they really don't. Racists just like to pretend they do when someone can spot the neocolonial dogwhistle.

JFK and RFK were both killed on technicolor recording unfortunately.

First time images of the shooter were published by TMZ?

JFK was actually assassinated on campaign, and RFK IIRC was seen as having a pretty good chance to win when he was killed too.
