Roosevelt was a freaking unit of a man. Boxer, cowboy, war hero, dude had balls.

I feel like it should be mentioned but after getting shot, Roosevelt not only continued his speech, but made fun of the gunman's aim before doing so.

"Death had to take Roosevelt sleeping, for if he had been awake, there would have been a fight.” - Vice President Thomas Marshall on January 6th, 1919

Fun fact president Theodore Roosevelt was the only documented president to have a tattoo but instead of using ink they used gun powder

[thewritingrowlet]

Gotta love how Roosevelt just had to continue purely to prove a point lol

[milesrobison]

That is the most Roosevelt thing I've ever heard.

You left out the best part Roosevelts reasoning for not going to the hospital immediately was that he New from his experience as an outdoorsman, that since he wasn’t coughing up blood he had correctly assumed that it had not punctured his lung meaning it was nothing more than a flesh wound.

People dont understand how chad roosevelt was.

He gave a speech, He was shot, then rode to the next speech location, then gave the speech and THEN when to the hospital

[TheEnginator]

Fun Fact: Chuck Norris jokes are actually parts from Teddy Rossevelt's biography, but Teddy Roosevelt gifted them to Cuck Norris to help him build his career.

Another fact about about his assassination attempt is that, he checked if he got hit in a lung by coughing, and said "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot, but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose."

[Gioart]

Roosevelt was the embodiment of "You can't hurt me in a way that matters"

[MrSourYT]

Teddy was the most metal President we’ve had

[marcusg]

150 BUCK WAS A LOTTA FUCKEN MONEY BACK THEN HOLY SHIT

[davefellhoelter]

Teddy was a Bad Ass! He FINISHED a Speach SHOT!

[harrisonsamson]

Theodore Roosevelt: *Gets f*cking shot*
Also Theodore Roosevelt: "Tis but a scratch"

[tuesday]

Not only did he keep giving his speech, he completely tanked the shot and even insulted the attacker's aim before he started.

[Tanzo_Adzuki]

Roosevelt really said “I’m still standing”

After getting shot and still giving a speech

[lerbronk]

Roosevelt, the guy death had to take him in his sleep since if not there would be a fight

[Zenologia]

Roosevelt getting shot:
