Please spare us all the airhead Trump idolatry. There is a far more plausible reading of the situation: Trump is so stupid and so clogged with his own braggadocio that even after shots had rung out (and he ducked for cover), he went on to actually risk exposing himself to more gunfire ... to no purpose. Incredibly, he attempted to surge out from under the protection of the cordon of bodyguards (who were trying their best to control him) so that he could raise his fist and perform more braggadocious grandstanding before his incurable admirers - who, like all narcissists, he clearly can't live without. (He doesn't even seem to understand what a security detail is for.)
In short, it was Trump's ego that got winged by that bullet, and his response was certainly in character - just not the kind of character that Mr Ackerman has in mind.
