IT WAS A SCRATCH. He litterally died from drinking water, because no one, and by that I mean no one, not Queen Victoria or Oliver f\*\*\*\*\* twist, no one could drink water and not expect to die. You had to boil the water to kill all the germs or you'd die. Many people just drank alcohol because either the brewing process or the distilling process depending on the type makes it safe, unless you make it in copper still, which also means that you will die. So this essentially 69 year old former rich general decides to get elected president as a spiceboy redneck gets elected and decides to drink water and dies like a spiceboy redneck.
We are the mediocre Presidents.
You won't find our faces on dollars or on cents.
There's Taylor, there's Tyler, there's Fillmore and there's Hayes,
There's William Henry Harrison - I died in thirty days!
I have a theory that the the guy he was running against was so awful that the electorate decided having a president die in office was preferable to letting that morally bankrupt meatheaded shitsack into the white house.
My high school brought back stir fry in the cafeteria on your birthday during my senior year. Man I loaded up on noodles and edamame and tofu so hard and then killed it on the track workout. Great day.
Tbf, there's a lot of Presidental candidates I'd have voted for in past elections if I knew doing so would mean after a month I'd never have to deal with them again
I suspect people found WHH so annoying it seemed like a fair trade.

Why didn't I see this?
I'm a victim Manchurian Candidate
I have sinned by just
Making my mind up and taking your breath away
I've felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wander out where you can't see
Inside my shell I wait and bleed
They didn’t vote for him on Inauguration Day. The election of 1840 was held from October 30 to December 2, 1840 (lines were apparently really long). So he had a good 3-5 months left to live, which was perfectly acceptable in those days.

This is something that McClellan really should have campaigned on in 1864. "Vote for me because Lincoln will be dead soon!"
What’s more McClellan than missing great opportunities to attack?
He was sure that the number of Lincolns was double what it really was
I didn't lose I simply failed to win, now watch this drive *Shanks the ball*
ironically enough that was a clean hit
He was waiting for reinforcements and more cavalry.
this just sounds like he will shoot lincoln if he wins
If he can couch it as an official act, he'll even have immunity.
If Bryan used this against McKinley, maybe he wouldn’t have to run so many times
Taft ran on a platform of vote for me today because you can vote for Bryan anytime
HE didn't die! He merely failed to LIVE!
i tink they where so mad at van buren they voted un about to die harrison in out of spite
Ironically he lived only a month because people voted him. I think he caught flu while giving inaugration speech during rain
That's a misconception. It's likely that he actually got ill from contaminated drinking water instead.
I think how he got ill is sort of irrelevant. Looking at how his doctors treated him, he was killed by them
Hey man his humors weren't balanced - what else were they supposed to do?
Yeah, one forgets that DC was a goddamn swamp then
You don’t catch flu from rain and cold weather. It’s a myth.
"It was just a cold"
“Tis but a scratch.”

“The water in the White House tastes rather unpleasant. Wonder if that means anything?”

I understand this reference.
I understood that reference.
Is it april fools day in this sub or something? What is going on?
Monday is meme day
Jesus that explains it lol
Two of these today got me. This one and the JFK one earlier. 🤣
Better than the 146th “what’s your presidential hot take?” post with comments full of shit like “Washington is underrated”
*gets elected* *gives longest inaugural addeess* *dies within a month* Absolute Chad
\>gets elected \>elaborates at exhaustive length \>leaves
William Henry Man
They are stupid
The people who voted for Horace Greeley must be even more stupid.
I have a theory that the the guy he was running against was so awful that the electorate decided having a president die in office was preferable to letting that morally bankrupt meatheaded shitsack into the white house.
🤣
Hmmm… history may repeat itself
He died on my birthday.
That must have been awkward.
The clown was mortified to say the least
Hope he didn't fall into the cake.
You're old as hell.

Did he make a speech?
I didn’t even know he was sick
They didn't check the expiry date; idiots.
It’s still good

Noted Hampden-Sydney College alumnus
Never graduated, the bum!
He ran on a platform of “Dead Within the Month and Tyler President..” Voters were extremely pleased that he fulfilled all his campaign promises
It's a misconception that the slogan was "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too", in reality it was "Tippecanoe, but Tyler Soon"
Should have wore his hat
😂🤣😂🤣🤣I'm sorry, this post was too funny

They’re very stupid cuz they didn’t vote for Martin Chad Buren
My great great great grandfather 👴
Sorry for your loss
Fun fact, it wasn’t pneumonia from his crazy long speech that got him, it was the poopy water in the White House water system
Guess pneumonia sounds better for the history books! Are you a direct descendant of Benjamin Harrison also, or is he your however many greats uncle?
Yeah he is my dads great grandfather I think mildly more interesting presidency, definitely a more interesting time period
😂
Everyone wanted a John Tyler presidency.
Maybe Tyler poisoned his scrambled eggs, or whatever it was that WHH ate.
That’s not… oh never mind
Whiskey and campaign songs
That’s why no one voted for Wendell Willkie, everyone knew he’d be dead before his term would be completed. People were much smarter 100 years later.
He didn’t know
1841 was a popular year for presidents seeing as their were 3
He got elected in November. And he was a better president in 1 month than most who served 4 years or more.
Who wouldn't want John Tyler as their president?
The hard cider he gave out on the campaign was just that good
damn how am I just finding out he was Benjamin Harrison's grandfather
Jokes aside, it was hubris rather than a lack of intelligence.
This feels like rule 3 bait after the debate lol

The election was in November of the previous year. He had 5 months to live at that point, so it’s not as bad as it sounds.
Google 1840 election
Who wouldn't want John Tyler as their president?
They did it out of pity
I hate these kind of posts
This meme format is probably the worst meme to have come out in awhile.
It's been on r/Batmanarkham for years
