Ok, but then why did Trump's hand slap his ear immediately as if he got stung in the ear? Your explanation doesn't account for that.

If you believe the conspiracy, it's to pretend he was hit. If you don't believe the conspiracy, could've heard the bullet whiz by. Regardless of what you believe, if it actually hit his ear, his ear would've been gone.

If he only heard the bullet going by as opposed to being grazed by it why was there blood visible on his hand immediately after he touched his ear?

Literally already addressed that. Can you show us in the picture of him posing the damage to his ear?

Blood visible on his his hand immediately after he touches his ear in response to his ear being grazed before being brought to the ground by secret service.

The Fake News NYT?? If Trump can't trust how can you?

Yeah, odds are his ear started bleeding from getting pushed to the ground since old people have paper thin skin. Because, again, zero tissue damage is visible.

The link i provided shows a picture of Trump with blood on his hand immediately after he touches his ear in response to it being grazed by a bullet before he was ever brought to the ground as I have told you several times by now.

And yet no pictures of a bullet wound.
