    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? This seems like the most basic, obvious shit to do if you’re trying to protect someone. Sure, maybe the gunman on the roof was already dead, but there was no way to know whether he was working alone. There could’vebeen someone else waitingto take a shot. Aren’t the SS guys supposed to be highly trained?

      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.
