It is understood that this is the deal for any correspondents travelling with a President. The Secret Service are there to protect one man, everyone else is expendable.
This stuff happened before Trump and will happen after. The only stand out part of this episode is that usually the press on board are informed (not for dissemination) when this happens. On this occasion they were not. The objection in the press is to not being told, rather than the gambit itself.
Leaving aides and journalists to potentially die instead of him.
Must be a nice feeling to be used as a live bait to protect a criminals ass.
