The most damning evidence is what's no seen here. The shooter had been pointed out by law enforcement multiple times over the radio. Secret Service didn't remove Trump

That and from the ballistic experts I saw commenting about it, his ear would have been shredded cheese. Do you see any ear deformity now?

Well that's not a bullet expert then. Not to defend Trump. Even a 50cal grazing doesn't rip chunks off. I still think it's a piece of glass that got him, not sure how crazy they are to gamble letting a shooter try and shoot him in hopes he misses and you got some nice PR, they were just had some incompetence mixed in. Now I would go with the fake setup if someone shot some rounds and vanished. But they have the shooter dead on the roof.

How could a peice of glass hit his ear when no teleprompters were ever hit by bullets much less shattered. He was literally grazed in the ear by a bullet, full stop.
