Seems to me there are two possible explanations. 1) the whole thing was staged and Trump knew about it, or 2) Trump is just very very stupid. I'm going with 2.
I have no evidence to support this, but it's possible the secret service got word over their radio that the threat was neutralized and passed that on to him. But yes, that was also my initial thoughts too
I think the whole damn thing is as fishy as him getting COVID and being back at work (well, "work") within a week and later telling reporters this specific phrase: "I knew I had to do it".
