I'm not a gun guy and I've been lazy (I only read the very short article) but to me it seems like a 10/10 "What the fuck were they thinking?" screw up by the Secret Service.

What I don't get is why on earth didn't the SS keep Trump's head down as they got him out of there?

My wild hunch is that Trump's entire Secret Security detail and all their supervisors are totally incompetent because Trump made certain of only one thing. That everybody connected to his direct protection was loyal to him. So everybody is some combination of dimwitted, impatient, arrogant, and entirely unprofessional.

Yeah, so far as I can tell the only reason they get by is because everyone else is every bit as generally kind of naive and gormless

That makes sense

Trump's clown car doctor certainly fits those descriptors

At one point he had Jordan Goudreau doing security for him... You know, the guy whose business idea was putting Marines in schools to stop shooters... and then... invaded Venezuela.
