Trump has made the bloke who held him up during the alleged assassination attempt, his chief security officer.
If you look at the Reagan assassination attempt the Secret Service threw him to the ground and surrounded him.
Yet with the Trump incident they literally held him high with his chest fully exposed while scrabbling around for his shoes yet apparently could not have known there was maybe another (or even several) shooters or that the main one had been eliminated.
They literally presented him to any nefarious actor.
And whatever happened about the other one at the golf course?

Ryan Routh was executed in secret by lethal injection within Area 51 at 6am on November 6th last year following a Presidential decree issued by then President Biden.
Although if you want the boring mundane answer then it's all here for Hedda as well.....
He's going on trial in September 2025 - "Routh was charged on September 24 with attempted assassination of a presidential candidate, as well as "assaulting a federal officer" and "possessing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence." On December 18, Routh was additionally charged with "attempted felony murder" after it was discovered that Routh caused traffic closure while fleeing the scene, which resulted in a traffic crash that injured a 6-year-old girl who was traveling with her family"
"After appearing in federal court for a hearing on December 11, Routh's legal team announced they were considering giving Routh an insanity defense. Public defenders claimed Routh had met with mental health experts and jail mental health professionals at least twice, who all called him "delusional." Prosecutors also confirmed that Routh had written up to 40 letters to national news outlets to try to convince them he was innocent. The letters were intercepted before being received. Routh’s attorneys requested for the trial to be delayed until December 2025. Granted the request in part, setting a new trial date of September 8, 2025"
It was a pure stunt. And as for the shooter? One grainy picture of a Chinless wonder in specs. No history, no debate, no psycho analysis. Trump never once mentioning him, which just isn't Trump. I believe it was a desperate attempt to be viewed as 'heroic' to the world. It worked for the dim.

It sounds like you are now a conspiracy theorist to me Cat.

Do you believe he, or the other younger one before him, would have been getting hero worshipped now they he had successfully taken out Trump?
Why do people want to throw their lives and freedom away for this?

Sadly the dim are many.
I wonder why the other 90 million registered voters don't ever vote?

The ones who voted twice or the dead ones who were voting?

A stunt? One man in the audience was shot dead and another two were critically injured.
I think it was a security cock-up, with Trump being very lucky. How anyone can believe the shooter deliberately just grazed Trump's ear with a bullet is beyond me!

I have no idea what went down but I read that doctors who are expert in shootings have said such an ear injury as apparently happened would be most odd as a bullet even grazing an ear in the very slightest would still shatter the cartilege.
It will remain one of the great mysteries along with the the JFK & RFK files to be released which will shown absolutely nothing not already known.

I won't let facts get in the way of 'your truth'.
Oh for God's sake do you think that everyone hasn't read exactly what weapon and rounds were used? "Your truth" is so wacky at times with your myriad of right wing MAGA Youtube video pundits preaching their own conspiracy theories.
Forget conspiracy theories...if this assassination attempt is exactly how it is presented then out of all the Secret Service agents available in the USA why you would choose the fool who hauled you up and presented your entire body to the shooter to take another shot at, or possibly another or several shooters, to manage your safety.
