Harrison died of stupidity, he thought he was too manly to wear a coat while giving his inauguration speech... in the freezing rain, and died weeks later of pneumonia.

I remember this curse as a topic when Reagan was elected. When he was shot everyone feared it had come true.. at first.

Mariposa , Reagan stood in front of Berlin Wall and told Soviet Union President "Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall" and it did happen.

I remember this "curse" (vaguely) from childhood, but haven't thought of since. I LOVE the details here, & how cooly creepy this is.. or was. Pity it didn't last for 1980 & 2000; would've saved this GOP-ravaged country & the 🌎 a world of grief. Just sayin'...😁😉

JaevlaSkit, GW wasn't elected in a zero year, but I agree this coincidental curse was "broken" with Reagan.
