Fun fact: William Henry Harrison's presidency was so short that his inauguration speech took up about 0.28% of his presidency.
-
Oh look, a new president aaaaaand he's gone.
-
Hamilton: “if you stand for nothing, what do you fall for?” Harrison: ”pneumonia.”
-
He didn't stand for anything yet he made a two hour speech? What did he talk about?
-
Everybody talking about that he died only 30 days after being the president..... How about he lived nearly 30 years past life expectancy at that time. 🤔

“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 & there’s Hayes! There’s William Henry Harrison . . . I DIED IN 30 DAYS!”
-
Well dang he sounded like a cool dude. Took a joke about him and embraced it. That's humility and a sense of humor right there lol.
-
For a second there, I thought the title said "America's beefiest president"
-
Because he was fighting a paraplegic joestar that could shoot his fingernails
-
Fun Fact: He is the 1st president in American history to ever die while in office.
-
Harrison was probably the ultimate case of famous last words, with his delivering of the longest inaugural address in history on a cold rainy day without a hat or overcoat
-
Can’t believe I was in office for a month
-
his grandson, Benjamin, also became president.
-
Legend has it is that Harrison is still delivering his speech under the rain
-
“There’s William Henry Harrison!” “I died in 30 days!”
-
He was one of my great-grandfather's although he had a very short presidency Had a great military career
-
He was a speedrunner
-
My grandmother grew up being told he was her like great great grandfather or something like that and her grandmother had the name of Harrison and she just did a DNA test and it turns out we are related to him! We have family history that connects back to virginia and ohio even though we only know our family here in Mississippi and Louisiana.
-
He was literally president for a month lol
-
