People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

No it doesn't. The secret service would never allow that, and there's no way Trump could overpower them.

Judging by the famous photo, the Secret Service was shielding him with their bodies and trying to drag him away from the scene. That would give them control over his lateral movement but wouldn't prevent him from standing. The agent shielding him doesn't reach above his shoulders, and she'd have a hard time stopping a "265 lb." man from standing while only gripping his waist.
