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.

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.
