It felt staged from the beginning. A bullet even nicking him from that range would have caused more than a nick. The raised fist, Secret Service all around him. This was another show.

Really? Set aside his theatrics. Miss by an inch, nothing but the pop from the shock wave. Miss by 0.1 inch won’t rip one’s ear off, will it? Miss by 0.01 inch? There’s a continuum of damage, right? Love to see a Myth Buster on this.

If the shot misses, there’s no damage. Look up what the bullets from military assault rifles do upon contact.

Sure. My point is contact is a continuum. Everywhere from full square on hit to knocking off one atom.

Totally agree. Blood spatter just didn't make sense. How does he have blood streaks on his cheek & chin but not a drop behind his ear or on his hair when the bullet came front to back? Hinky. Absolutely no sign that there was ever damage just days after he removed the absurd bandage? Also hinky.

And how was his white shirt collar pristine white, no blood spray or droplets or anything? Why haven’t any investigative reporters diagrammed the shooting positions & bullet trajectories? Why haven’t any eye witnesses spoken to the media?

All excellent questions....especially the last two.

And let's not forget that he's rarely, and for Trump that's INSANE, rarely talked about the incident again -- and there's no talk of the shooter either. I think the two bystanders who were shot (1 killed) were collateral damage. I want to be wrong but this is Trump's world now, I just live in it.

The fuckmuppet in chief is absolutely the kind of person who would sacrifice a firefighter in order to resuscitate a flagging campaign, and not feel anything about it.

And to pay an assassin to shoot at him and then to kill the assassin to avoid payment. It tracks.

You couldn't shut him up about it if it truly did happen. All fake, just like everything else he does.

I don’t think he was grazed by a bullet, but it easily could’ve just been a a nick from a small piece of the shattered glass that they played off like a bullet wound.
