You'd have to add Andrew Jackson to the list.

And you should probably count Ford and FDR since they were shot at, the assassins just missed.

Democrats:
Trump didn’t get shot

Also democrats:
Trump is a Russian super spy, Epstein pedo, and praises Nazis.

You can count Teddy's long winded speeches for saving his life. He had his written speech folded and in his breast pocket, the thickness of it blunted the bullet to a large degree. That moose did give his speech with the bullet lodged in his chest though

Andrew Jackson and Gerald Ford ?


No - folks merely attempted to shoot them.

Andy Jackson had a man with 2 misfiring flintlock pistols, before Jackson then proceeded to beat him about the head and shoulders with his cane. #Savage

Lincoln was the subject of many plots and attempts, including a shot that went through his hat.

A man with a pistol and believed intent on shooting Taft was arrested just a few feet away.

A bomber was arrested before he could place explosives on railroad tracks that Hoover was to traverse.

Technically President-elect FDR was on the dais when #Shortking Giuseppe Zangara killed Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak in early 1933. It is still debated if FDR or Cermak was the actual target. Zangara was either crazy or acted crazy. He might have been a communist/anarchist or just following Al Capone's orders. Opinions vary.

2 different women, 17 days apart (1 of them a member of the Manson family - Squeaky Fromme) tried to kill Ford with handguns - Fromme's did not have a round chambered, Sarah Jane Moore did get a shot off before being restrained.

I am excluding many plots, threats, etc. that did not approach even a robust attempt (the PR nationalists assault on Blair House is close - but Truman was not there), limiting to either shots or at least possessing/producing a weapon in the President's presence and the closest any area effect attack was able to get to an attempt (the Hoover attempted bombing).

So what is your criteria for relevance? Because dead in 1865 is just as dead as it was in 1965

And Kennedy would be a republican today based on how far left the left has gone.

The guy who tried to assassinate FDR was executed a little over a month later. That's some swift justice.
