That’s why the shooting has clinched this election for him.
More than showing strength, I think he’s posturing. He’s been taught his entire life, and especially since his apprentice years, that appearing as anything but strong and dominant is contemptible, so his reaction was out of fear of appearing weak. If he were truly strong, he would’ve done like Roosevelt, who was shot in the chest during a speech and not just grazed in an ear, and still decided to speak for another 50 mins before accepting medical help.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot, but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose.”

@nick_h.
I hate to say it, but what amazing strength Trump showed at a time when Biden keeps showing weakness. If this had happened to Biden his body would have snapped under the weight of the secret service people.
