I remember the last attempted assassination - that of Reagan by John Hinkley back in the 80’s. In my opinion those Secret Service agents reacted much quicker & better than Trumps detail did.
I was shocked that their initial reaction seemed to be to just stand there like human shields, letting him try to mug around them. They should have physically held him down and immediately start pushing him off the stage. Trump was largely a motionless target for a prolonged period of time, which the Secret Service should have not allowed.
Wasn’t there a story that Trump had corrupted the Secret Service to the point that Pence did not believe they were there to protect him? Perhaps this is what you get if you prefer loyalty over competence.

Tbh it says if you’re going to assassinate Trump, use a Barret and aim for the cuddle puddle if you miss the first shot.
I don’t have the sources, but if I remember right, almost all recent presidents have had assassination attempts.
This is the only one that’s gotten as close as Reagan’s
