Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to have a Dynamic Frontend filter and Static filter for a single taxonomy for the same view.

Solution:

If your taxonomy filter is set to filter the view by the current page then you won't be able to add a dropdown to that view in the event that the user wants to view something else.

This is because the filter has been set to static and it can only be static or dynamic. Dynamic meaning the view can be filtered by a url parameter using the dropdown filters.

I would suggest adding a link the page that would send the user to another page that has a dedicated dynamic filter view.
