If my prelimnary research is correct Trump's three major assassination attempts set a record. I believe Gerald Ford held the previous record at two.

Another record, the Hilton Hotel where this most recent attempt occurred is also known as the Hinkley Hilton for the shooting of Reagan by John Hinkley. First location to have two seperate attempts on two seperate presidents.

I suspect a great many more assassination attempts on US presidents have been aborted by potential assassins, who weren't suicidal or stupid enough to go on with the plan, when they saw what they were up against.

True, that's why my research only found the ones where shots were fired or attempted in close proximity.

The first was in 1835 when an assassin tried to shoot Andrew Jackson. The pistol misfired and Jackson beat him into submission with his cane.

Or just the opposite...there is a record high because of current protection standards...or lack of.
