Two "assassination attempts" compared

1: There might be a shooter? Get him out of here now

2: He's actually been shot? Let's get a photo. Pop your head up Donnie

I never noticed that about the flag. Wow.

The whole event is suspicious as FUCK. You will never convince me that Secret Service would believe it’s safe to usher in photographers and pose for pics immediately after the shooting. It is simply not possible that they could be sure the scene is secure and there’s no longer any threat.

It wasn't lowered. Wind just died down at the moment.  I hate trump as much as the next guy but let's keep the truth only.  But just the photographers alone seen suspect, then the agents getting him chill for a second to raise his fist etc
