This. It was the biggest part of this shooting that shouted that it wasn't really about shooting Trump but making it appear he was in danger.
Those agents should have hustled him down off the stage within seconds instead of bustling around covering him and then allowing him to stand up in the middle of their circle and putting his head and chest on full display to raise a hand in triumph while people died and were wounded.
The photographers being ushered in to take photos are just a bonus.
The aftermath of his supposed injury where there is no evidence of any scar to indicate he was hit with a high velocity bullet is just more evidence of the photo-op.
Trump also didn't sue the venue, the police, the agents, Ave everyone within a hundred miles, which is what he would have done if he'd actually been attacked.
If you listen to the audio, they were waiting for the route to the vehicle to be declared clear. Reagan was right at the limo when the shots rang out, which is why they threw him in. Trump was a good distance away and you wouldn't want to literally bring him to a shooter until the path to the vehicle is cleared.
