    Trump doesn't understand that Secret Service agents/officers don't use guns to defend protectees. They use their own bodies as shields.

        they're armed but their priority isn't to shoot threats, it's to get the principal out of harm's way.

        the first job of agents is to "cover and evacuate." That means take a bullet.

        SS certainly does use guns to defend protectees. One of those black SUVs carries a M134 minigun

        I've been corrected: at least 2 SUVs carry M134 miniguns

        Unfortunately, that'd require that he understand dedication and valuing something more than himself. No clue!
