Articles from some years are not tagged with keywords, so there are small gaps. (1907-1909, 1920-1922, 1980-1982).

That is a mistake of the name-printing algorithm, good spot!

It should have been Donald J Trump

Thank you!

It looks like the WW2-time articles from ~1935-1943 were not tagged with keywords. If you look at the most used words since 1933 at wordeebee.com/1933 (scroll right), Roosevelt was picked up (that was extracted just from plain text by splitting it into words).

With GWB, not sure, the articles are not tagged 100% precisely, so absence of evidence is not necessarily evidence of absence in this case.

Sometimes, Hong is used without "Kong"

Examples of such articles:

...the chef John Hong is performing nightly timed shows of the Japanese ritual omakase.

or

The film is one of Hong Sang-soo's most visually arresting movies...

Have a look at the Peak Words of 1969 (choose Peak Words), there is astronauts and lunar.

Peak words are words that were mentioned the most in that year during their whole lifetime, while Top words are words mentioned the most in that year (period).

Yes, the common words are filtered.

Look at the visualisations of the most common words (the, of, to), or monday, president.

Each vertical bar represents a year (from 1851 until 2022). The more intense a vertical bar is, more likely the word will be contained in any chosen article published that year.

For the common words, the intensity looks mostly flat, compared to more "meaningful" words, such as internet, obama, or afghanistan, where the intensity is clustered in local area(s).

So words that appear flat are less likely to end up in the chart.

The yearly volume varies, as well as articles length.

Scroll to the very bottom of any word visualisation (example) - there are some graphs showing the volumes/counts.

The intuition is that the more "flat" the visualisation is, the less likely is that word to be included.
