Couldn't they have shields? If their job is to stop bullets, I'd think they could carry modern shields.
idk, I'm not Valerie Irons, just makes sense to me
When the nationalist Japanese ex-PM got got recently his bodyguards had bulletproof briefcases. Maybe these guys could have something like that too.
They apparently do not lol. Trump keeps sticking his neck out of the SS stack and they just let him
'ballistic shield' apparently is the word
They should have had shields. Various bulletproof and bomb resistant blankets and shields exist and could have been staged ready for use, but they were not.
