They did nothing that protected him. The shot just missed him, then Trump ducked behind the podium.
Back of the stage, a SS Creep shooed the media away, and then the SHOTS rnag out!
And then they shielded him with their bodies, which is what they were supposed to do. It happened that there were no other shooters, and the sniper team took him out right away, which also helped preserve Trump’s life. Sure, there was a conspiracy. And sure, the DEI hire was a real...uh...p***y, but the sniper team did finally take him out despite the ridiculous order to hold their fire until he got a crack at Trump, and the SS agents did do the shielding thing. Trump even thanked them.
