 Trump should not have said wait wait and done that.

Secret service allowed him to risk his life more.

But Trump knew the photo op and signal. He’s good at what he does, it’s insane.

But so dangerous. 
 Unless he knew there was no risk because it's a psyop. 
 Well it’s *his* life.

On a much smaller scale, Obama said “they” wouldn’t let him use his phone to tweet as president.  Trump said “I’m the president “ and does what he wants.

It’s part of leadership.  

The secret service does their very important job very well.  The person they protect cannot be expected to follow any protocols immediately after being shot. 
 Ain’t no way they would allow him him expose that much skin after a real assassination attempt. 
How could they know the shooter was already down?
How could they know there weren’t multiple shooters?
