Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

Gerald Ford has entered the chat...

According to Wikipedia, Ford only had 3 attempts. Obama had 13 which was the only one I counted close to Trump's SEVENTEEN. Wow... He's so bad that he generated more hate than racists have.

This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
Ford had less than one full term in office [he completed Nixon's second term after Dickie resigned]
He had two attempts in one state, both by women.
He should get extra points based on degree of difficulty.
Also, I had no idea there were 13 attempts on Obama or 17 on Donnie.
Thanks for the research
Fidel Castro is up there somewhere looking at these rookie numbers
