That part is so troubling to me. I didn’t believe it was real when I was watching it, but actual people died. If he had truly been shot at, wouldn’t he have said something publicly about the people who were killed?

All I know is that my partner is a plastic surgeon and she says no way his ear cartilage “grew back” like that if it got hit.

I hurt the top of my ear 3 years ago. 3 years! Small but horrible. I can't sleep comfortably on my left side because it's so painful. It still looks like an injury, too. The first time I saw him without a bandage, I started really questioning whether that could have really happened.

If you can afford it go see a plastic surgeon. Not the kind that does elective stuff the kind that works on facial deformities, injuries etc. they can help you.

I'm going to have to see one after i resolve some jaw issues I'm having. I'll definitely mention it while I'm there. Thank you!

They can’t even keep that story straight. Annual med check says there’s a scar. Sometimes Drumph claims the cartilage “grew back.” THEY ARE SUCH TOOLS

A high speed bullet would have caused a major injury to the ear.

If I think about the physics of it, the odds of it nicking his ear aren’t that great. And the energy from the bullet should have done more damage.

I agree. I can’t see how a bullet could have hit the ear and not hit the head.
may 9, 2025, 11:29 pm • 0 0 • view
A military sharpshooter said that bullet shot from that weapon, coming that close to his head would have taken his ear completely off, if not the side of his head! It never happened. Furthermore, they sacrificed that foolish boy for a bump in polling. Psychopaths!

Any other supposed assassination attempt would have been thoroughly investigated, attending physicians would have been in front of a senate committee, and the media would have been all over it. This disappeared faster than the families of the people who actually were killed.

Staged well enough for every shitty MAGA to use it as their profile picture.

How about we start with the beginning and how "the assassin" got so easily into the perfect position, 148 yards from its "target", on an open rooftop without anybody noticing him, including the trained teams of sharpshooters surrounding that very building?? Only that would tick you off!

I think the SS has screwed up so much in the last 5 years that it is easy to believe they were incompetent at the scene. Both letting that shooter get into position, and not getting Trump away from the scene immediately. That said, it looked so posed it’s hard to believe it was an actual attempt.

Same with the next one. They saw a gun barrel in bushes, please.

The scenario worked so well the first time. Why not? 🙄 MAGA are just dumb enough to fall for it again.

It looked rehearsed. That’s what I thought the first time I saw it.

I question the credentials of whoever said that, because the truth is it is perfectly plausible that a bullet grazing an ear does very little permanent damage. Ears just don't have enough mass to get the round to effectively dump its energy; it's like punching a hole in paper.

Cartridge barely has any blood supply and doesn’t grow back but sure you know more that a person who did 8 years of school and a 6 year residency. Hell I know that just from wrestling and jiu jitsu

Ears do have lots of small blood vessels so they bleed a lot; but as for the permanent wound it could look like anything from a small hole (if it passed completely through) to hardly anything at all if it barely nicked it.

Trump and his doctor claimed it took part of his ear off. That doesn’t grow back.
may 9, 2025, 11:36 pm • 4 0 • view
No it doesn't, and it's very likely they exaggerated the damage done. That doesn't mean the whole thing was faked, and given the fact that we know real bullets were flying in his general direction, I find the suggestion that it was faked highly unlikely.

Where did you see me say it was faked? He didn’t get the top of his ear shot off. Which obviously he didn’t since a) the cartilage doesn’t grow back b) he doesn’t have a chunk missing out of his ear.

I've seen a lot of people saying it was faked, but you're right, you didn't. I apologize if I misunderstood.

I believe the attempt was real. I don’t believe him that the top of his ear was shot off. My guess is he got a nick on it when the SS were taking him down. You have to admit it’s bizarre how they I just dropped it though.

Please don't forget Corey Compatore who died shielding his family from the incoming bullets. 2 lives sacrificed to make the Felon look like a victim.

true. cartilage is not very vascular and takes a long time to grow back. the whole thing is fake, including the person who "died" aka, the paid actor.

And no way he wouldn’t have been 1000X more fearful. That fist in the air and “fight” bs was planned. He was more scared of getting bit by an Eagle. Please. 🙄

I've had minor cancer surgery work done on my forehead by a leading plastic surgeon in my part of Australia. I have VERY noticeable scarring now that the stitches are gone. It will be months before the scars fade. And I don't have to worry about cartilage.

I’ve learned that people devoid of empathy is a red flag that may imply maladaptive psychological issues. 😬 YIKES!

better still given his position why isn’t he demanding a full investigation into what could clearly be defined as a severe secret service failure but releasing meaningless info on the Kennedy assassinations, though shouldn’t ignore they misspelled the dead firefighter’s name at the RNC-he was a prop

That would require the presence of a heart and soul, of which he ain’t got either one.

If he had really been shot, we would never hear the end of it. He would throw his assassination attempt around like he throws around the word "tariffs" He would put that sht on everything

Lol the dude literally got Herman Cain and countless others killed from the rallies he held during a pandemic and said nothing about them. Even if the assassination was real he wouldn't give af who dies as long as it's not him.

Killing/injuring of people who aren’t Trump would be important to help to sell the con. Plus Trump would enjoy that part.

Why on earth would we expect him to say anything about the people who died? He's a narcissist who doesn't care about anyone but himself. He did exactly what we all expected him to do: turned the whole thing into political capital.

A decent person would have. But Trump is not a decent person. So his lack of empathy would be sadly just typical.
