Mass Shootings during each presidential term of office

I came across a Time magazine link of all mass shootings since 1982. They took their info from a Mother Jones database linked in the article. From my calculations, here are the numbers of mass shootings by presidential term:

Trump - 29
Obama - 38
Bush 43 - 15
Clinton - 18
Bush 41 - 8
Reagan - 6 (7 years of data)

Bush 41 - 2.00
Reagan - 0.86
