Most of the presidents, even the ones that were assassinated, lived longer or nearly than the average life expectancy for a man at the time they were born.

No president has been born in the 1810's, 1930's, or 1950's.

Every president since Andrew Johnson has been alive at the same time as Herbert Hoover.

There are more books about Lincoln than every other president combined, and the only historical figure with more books about him is Jesus.

Herbert Hoover and John Quincy Adams have both met twelve presidents. John Quincy Adams met fourteen, possibly fifteen.

Hoover met Ben Harrison and everyone from TR to Nixon. He may have met Ford (whose career was concurrent with Hoovers' life) and Reagan (who may have been at Hoover's final visit to the infamous Bohemian Groove), but we don't know.

John Quincy Adams met everyone from Washington to Andrew Johnson, except for Zachary Taylor. He may or may not have met Abraham Lincoln (both served in the House at the same time, but no record exists of them meeting.

Only two presidents married women who were older than them: Millard Fillmore and Warren Harding.

The biggest age difference between a president and his wife was John Tyler and his second wife Julia, at 30 years. Grover and Francis Cleveland are in second, and Benjamin and second wife Mary Harrison are in third.

Tyler, Cleveland, and Harrison, along with Trump, are the only presidents to marry a woman more than 20 years younger than they were. What makes Cleveland stand out is that it was his first (and only) marriage, while it was the second for Tyler and Harrison and third for Trump.

Donald Trump is the only currently living president not to have descended from slave owners. Remember Obama's mother was white. Carter, Clinton, and Biden are all from former slave states, and Bush's family has a long history in America which includes slavery.

None of Trump's ancestors were in America until after slavery had been abolished.

Isn't Biden Irish? You don't become a slaveowner by moving into a former slave state.

True. I'm just saying that all of the living presidents except Trump had an American slave owner in their ancestry.
