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.
