  1. It’s either a bullet or shrapnel from something the bullet hit (IIRC there was speculation that the bullet struck a teleprompter and shrapnel from the teleprompter hit trump’s ear.)

    This is … pretty uninteresting in the grand scheme. MHO.

  2. The fact that Trump went out of his way to say it was a bullet (which is weird if you think about it) means it probably wasn’t.

  3. Since Trump insists on lying that he “took a bullet for democracy,” Wray went out of his way to go on record.

    If Trump’s lie looks like stolen valor, it is.

  4. Why won’t trump show us his medical records? What is he hiding?

  5. The larger question is when will the bandage come off.

    I say March 2025

  6. Trump isn’t bound by HIPAA laws for himself! If there is actual evidence he was struck by a bullet, took a bullet or however he wants to milk it every day since, I believe he is allowed to release any and all medical records on the visit to the hospital if he wanted to.

  7. A .223 round hitting an ear at 1500 fps barely caused a scratch was a tall tale from the get go.

  8. Wouldn’t a round from an AR have enough force to rip his ear clean off?  Serious question.

  9. Trump and his family have spent their entire lives lying to anyone and everyone.

    This is why people doubt his narrative.

  10. I love the fact that if Trump says something 99.9% of the time it is a lie. So when he says a bullet his his ear, the FBI comes back a few weeks later and confirms that it was not in fact a bullet directly, is pretty ironic. 

    However, the fact remains a bullet did end up killing one person in the crowd and injuring 2 others. It’s still not something to laugh about. There is a family experiencing real loss and hurt. I will mock trump for any number of things because he’s a rapist and criminal, and he is not worthy of esteem. But I’m sorry for the loss to the other victims families, and know the only proper way to beat Trump is by beating him at the polls, impeaching and removing Supreme Court Justices and overturning their own ruling to hold Presidents and former president’s accountable under the law. The greatest tragedy in current political history is Trump dying for any reason before he sees the inside of a prison cell and a complete dissolution and seizure of his criminal Empire. 

  11. That bullet changed trump. More unfit. More chaotic. Rambles at their rallies. Way too old.

  12. Trump + very minor injury + amateurish bandage = performative bullshit

  13. By the looks of it…his ear was struck by his menstrual cycle.

  14. To be fair to that piece of shit who doesn’t deserve it:
    – Three very real bullets were fired at him with deadly intent
    – One of the bullets was caught on camera near his head
    – He had a bloody wound of some origin

    As far as anyone can tell, he was injured by a bullet in an assasination attempt. I’m not going to lose too much sleep wondering whether the bullet got him or he got cut being pushed down.

    I think that was real blood from a real injury.

    I’d rather focus on things like project 2025, him being a rapist, a pedophile, being unqualified, etc. than focus on the assasination attempt that really only helps his campaign.

  15. Is a Razor blade and Vince McMahon WWE blood packet still on the table?

  16. The bullet question is irrelevant to the assassination attempt, but it’s relevant to claims that he “took a bullet” for his country, given Trump’s credibility problems. This is going to seem like a strange idea for Trump, but *maybe he could try telling the truth.*

  17. I knew he was never touched by a bullet the second he started repeating the claim, “I was shot…by a bullet!” Has anyone who’s ever been shot felt the need to clarify they were shot BY A BULLETT. That’s literally what getting shot is.

    Every claim that spews from his filthy sewer is either projection, overcompensation, or straight-up lie.

  18. What I honestly don’t understand is why there isn’t more damage to the side of his head? The concussion blast should have still done more damage/bruising, right?

  19. ‘Hit by debris while an innocent bystander was killed by gunfire’ doesn’t sound as good.

  20. I definitely believe he wasn’t hit by a bullet. He was either cut by the glass that shattered or he is making it up. Dude is a lying psycho.
    I’m still not convinced that this wasn’t staged by him and his team.
    It wouldn’t be the first time he killed someone staging a political stunt.

  21. His Cult members couldn’t wear masks during a pandemic, but put bandages on their ears for no reason whatsoever. Traitor Trump is lying. His ear is absolutely fine.
