What is this even alleging, that the assassination attempt was faked? That it was real but he didn’t have a legitimate wound?
He had a small cut probably from shrapnel. Cuts on the head bleed a lot.
~~Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought we already confirmed that it was the Secret Service agent's gun that clipped his ear as he shoved Trump to the ground.~~
He touched his ear before they jumped him.
Ah okay
One notable Theory, that seems quite plausible, is the cut came from when he was pushed down and his ear might have caught on something on the Secret Service agents belt.
He touched his ear before the rushed in.
From the sharpenel it wouldn't be "a small cut", it would take his whole ear off.
If you see his ear right now, there's no sign whatsoever. And they said cartilage cannot grow back /s
There's so many weird things about the event, like for example you can see many people filming him from other side and no single video of that being released. I mean if you were one of those people on such event, wouldn't you want to share it?
There's a video showing person from his campaign guiding reports to a spot to take a picture, the flag being lowered to get in the frame.
And this whole even happened when his numbers were tanking also when media started talking about project 2025.
Depends on how much shrapnel hit his ear, what angle, etc... Shrapnel would hit with less force than the bullet would. You know, that whole conservation of energy thing in physics.
There's a photo of the bullet going by his head
So, not hitting his head.
collapsed inline media
Pretty big coincidence if this bullet whizzed right by that side of his head and something unrelated cut his ear
Almost like that's a 2d picture and you can't tell how far away that bullet is in 3d space. Coincidences do happen.
I dunno man seems pretty conspiratorial for no reason.
You can hate Trump and acknowledge that a bullet probably hit his ear.
Well speaking of conspiracy, look how many people filmed him from the other side, yet not a single one shared their video. If you had such video would you also keep it to yourself?
Also looking at current pictures, it looks like his ear recovered and there are no signs. And they say cartilage cannot grow back /s
There's hundreds of people there. All paid actors? None of them would break their silence? Not one? That's an even more absurd suggestion.
Also, one of the people shot did upload some of their video footage.
Aren't you actually reinforcing what I said? Why is it impossible to find any footage?
Also I am not aware of that one that uploaded their video, where can I find it?
It's dead simple to Google mate.
And I'm not reinforcing what you said. For your theory to be true, it'd require the absolute silence of that entire crowd of people. They'd all have to be in on it. You really think none of those people would spill the details? Governments can barely keep shit secret once it spreads to 2 people.
Something hit his ear for sure
Or he had a blood pack in his right hand. It could explain why the blood looked like somebody slapped it.
That would be ridiculous.
The attack was real, the injury itself was overblown for the spectacle and "heroism" of it. It was a very minor injury that bled a lot because there are a lot of veins on the head and ears.
Also whether or not he was actually grazed by the bullet or by shrapnel from a bullet hitting the teleprompter is questionable. It really doesn't even matter either way as he was injured while being shot at, so what difference does it make what exactly hit him? But he got big mad at someone suggesting that they weren't sure, that he somehow knew it was a bullet, like he knew better, like he saw the bullet or something, which is moronic. So I like to bring that up.
Trump died and was replaced
Yes
Assassination of the fireman was successful, but regarding trump there's no real evidence that bullet was even remotely close to him.
The target was the audience member and Trump had a blade
The second one, idiot.
Seriously, why the fuck are so many people this stupid? I fucking hate being alive sometimes...
So it was a real assassination attempt, but luckily Trump had a vial of fake blood on him? You're sure you're in position to call others stupid?
Maybe he was scratching his crotch during the meeting, but with all the sand in his vagina he ended up with bloody fingers. The bullet flew close to his head so as a reflex he put his hand on the side of his head to check for injury, and that's how he got blood on his ear
/jk (just in case someone thinks I'm serious)
