Have any other presidents or former presidents had 2+ attempts on their lives?

Gerald Ford has two including one where a misfire saved his life. Doubt they were out of the news quickly, but also not well known. I only recently learned this.

Squeaky Frohm is probably a more household name than either of the two dudes who tried to off Trump will ever be, but it possibly has more to do with her Manson Family connection. Few people remember Sarah Jane Moore.

So Trump, Lincoln and Ford- All Republicans. The shots are being fired in ONE direction.
So WHO EXACTLY is causing the violence in this country???

Yes, Andrew Jackson had multiple attempts on his life becuase he was involved in so many fights and duels.
This is historically incorrect.

October 29, 1994: Francisco Martin Duran fired at least 29 shots with a 7.62×39mm SKS semi-automatic rifle at the White House from a fence overlooking the North Lawn, thinking that Clinton was among the men in dark suits standing there (Clinton was inside). Three tourists, Harry Rakosky, Ken Davis and Robert Haines, tackled Duran before he could injure anyone. Found to have a suicide note in his pocket, Duran was sentenced to 40 years in prison.

October 2018: A package containing a pipe bomb addressed to his wife Hillary Clinton and sent to their home in Chappaqua, New York, was intercepted by the Secret Service. It was one of several mailed to other Democratic leaders in the same week, including former president Barack Obama.[108] Bill Clinton was at the Chappaqua home when the package was intercepted, while Hillary was in Florida campaigning for Democrats in the 2018 midterm elections.[109] Fingerprint DNA revealed that the package was sent by Florida resident Cesar Sayoc, who was captured two days after the package was intercepted.[110] Prosecutors sought a life sentence for Sayoc, but the judge instead sentenced him to 20 years.

November 2011: 21-year-old Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez was influenced by conspiracy theories and fringe religious viewpoints to attempt to murder Obama. Having traveled from his native Idaho, he hit the White House with several rounds fired from a semi-automatic rifle. No one was injured, but a window was broken.[121] He was sentenced to 25 years in prison.[122]
quote:
April 2013: Another attempt was made when a letter laced with the toxin ricin was sent to Obama.[126]
May 2013: Ricin-laced letters were sent to Obama and New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg vowing to kill anyone who tried to take away the sender's guns. The letters in this case were sent by actress Shannon Richardson, who tried to frame her husband Nathan for the crime.[127]

A lot of Hispanics on that list. Remember the Puerto Rican nationalists who shot up the residence Harry Truman occupied?
I think there was work being done at the White House.

I'm sure every President has had multiples threats with varying degrees of danger. Trump is definitely unique though.
