You could make a solid argument that if Kennedy hadn’t been assassinated there would have been no Great Society or Apollo program.

Apart from the last screw up, the CIA seems to be doing a pretty good job.

Like, I can't but think about how many plots there were against various presidents that were foiled by different law enforcement/alphabet soup agencies and which the public will never learn about.

There probably aren't many, if any. But how would we know?

Trump has the most entries in the "assassination attempts and plots" on wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_presidential_assassination_attempts_and_plots#Donald_Trump_2

Which is interesting because Ford actually ended up getting eaten by wolves. He was delicious.

I mean, shortest so far. We don't know what the future holds.

But Trump and Reagan almost certainly hold the record for presidential assassination attempts in closest geographic proximity to one another.

In both cases, the would-be assassins - one a member of the Manson family - didn't appear to have specific grievances against Ford himself, but rather thought that killing the president would bring about some sort of positive social change.
