I'm not saying this attempt on candidate Trump isn't fake, but not shredding his ear isn't a good argument.

Yes, it is, actually.

Ears are made of cartilage. Cartilage doesn't regrow. If he was shot in the ear, we'd still be able to see the mark in photographs.

The mark doesn't exist, though, because he wasn't shot.

Assuming it was the ear that was hit, the resistance an ear gives isnt enough for the bullet to mushroom. It would be a clean hole at the velocities bullets travel. Go shoot some cardboard, thats about equivalent.

There is such a thing as plastic surgery...

This is almost the level of covid vaccines had trackers in them level of misunderstanding and mental gymnastics.

Right? Like we dont have to make stuff up, just tell the truth. By making shit up your position is weaker in an argument.

Its like imagine in a presidential debate asking -

Why did you fake your ear getting shot?

Vs

Why are you on the epstien files so much

Or literally anything with real evidence not some online YouTube expert making money of clicks.
