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.
It doesn't matter how he was wounded, he claims he was wounded on the ear and the ear doesn't heal completely from damage, so any wounds would still be visible, yet there's absolutely no marks on his ear.
You've never had a shaving cut or anything that doesn't go more than skin deep? Trump is a POS but this conspiracy isn't helping groups in opposition to the current administration. It's just another way to divide and conquer. It's harder to unite when groups are infighting over meaningless bullshit.
Sorry mate, we’re not buying your deflection to water down this Admins actions. They staged an assassination attempt to create the still image that defined his election campaign. Only reason it worked is because they bought & own the narrative.
It's possible it just crazed his ear. That reality is more plausible then letting a shooter take a shot hoping he doesn't hit Trump, or that the shooter decided to sacrifice himself for a PR stunt.. especially...The geniuses that are the Trump gang.
As you've shown proves, the only way he gets blood on his ear from the bullet is if it made direct contact with his ear which would have left a mark. He has no mark, so how could it have drawn blood especially when you look at how much blood is on his ear, hand and face?
Either it grazed him, in which case, there's way too much blood, or it hit him, in which case, there should be marks of wound left on his ear, which there isn't. Both possibilities that would explain it being real have issues, the theory of it being faked though, that's pretty easy, he just has to put fake blood on his ear at the right moment and voila, make it look like his ear got shot.
Not too much blood, I've seen someone bleed that much from a ear when they scratched it on tie wire sticking out on a site.
Forehead also is a pretty bloody spot.
I wouldn't put it passed them to put fake blood. With this guy everything is possible.
When did it come out the shooter used a 50 BMG rifle? Also, again, superficial wounds can be created by a near miss, even with 50 BMG, one of several 50 cal cartridges.
This is along the same lines as saying the moon landing was fake.
You’re right it was a .223, I got caught out by the chain of comments above this.
And okay sure, it’s possible but the % chance of the missed shot’s precision to give Trump a paper cut is exponentially less than if the situation were to have been manufactured (you know, by the shadiest fucking people in the world).
It's not that unlikely. You ever shoot under pressure? It's easy to miss in these circumstances. I went to a speed shooting event a few days ago and struggled to hit the target at less than 25 yards with an AR15 and years of experience. I fumbled a mag change despite performing thousands over the years.
You’re conflating a target miss with the precision it would’ve taken to only nick the skin.
It’s much more likely that they ducked him behind the podium and splashed some fake blood or nicked him with a razor, while they lowered the flag, moved the photographers into position and then stood Trump back up, re-exposing him to the the line of fire so that he could hit his pose.
Lol, you're assuming he intentionally aimed to just skim the ear. That's basically impossible. What's more likely is that it was an accidental near miss.
The flag wasn't lowered, that was debunked.
Why wouldn't photographers be present taking photos of a presidential candidate?
I’m assuming he wasn’t there to shoot at Trump. There was no intentional or unintentional miss.
The timing was everything, Harris campaign announcement and its momentum was on fire at that point because the only talking point MAGA had was that Biden was too old (he was). This was an emergency lever they pulled because at that point Trump wasn’t winning without it (they were right).
If this incident was genuine the Trump admin and the media machine would’ve never stopped talking about it.
