    The shooter was taken out seconds later and I’m guessing Trump either had an earpiece or his bodyguards relayed the fact. That explains why he suddenly stood and posed despite his security detail trying to keep him down.

    (He’s too dumb to think about a potential second shooter.)

      No it doesn’t. The secret service would never allow that, and there’s no way Trump could overpower them.

        Judging by the famous photo, the Secret Service was shielding him with their bodies and trying to drag him away from the scene. That would give them control over his lateral movement but wouldn’t prevent him from standing. The agent shielding him doesn’t reach above his shoulders, and she’d have a hard time stopping a “265 lb.” man from standing while only gripping his waist.
