It would be within his legal right to do so that is to SCOTUS. That said, if the POTUS wanted to whack a guy, they probably wouldn't have gone with the 20 year old at a political rally.

Seriously, he could order the secret service agent driving him around or a number of other trained armed individuals close to him. Instead of making the orange piece of shit a martyr.

He’s still be a martyr though. Unless maybe you make him disappear without any trace. Then start rumors a la Hoffa or Elvis.

Still I think some of his hand picked SS detail really support him and might not follow such an order.

I agree with all of that, but right now he's a martyr that can still take office.
