The standard for whether or not someone has been shot in the US military is whether flesh is broken by a bullet or bullet fragmentation - basically, there has to be blood, but it does not matter if it is a full on through & through shot that destroys a portion of your intestines and gives you all manner of health issues for the rest of your life, or if it is a fragment of a bullet that hits your ear.
I tend to think it is the latter.
Also probably very much a life changing experience for him - and a life ending experience for the shooter.
There are just a ton of inconsistencies in the story.
For one, the Secret Service has one job when there’s an active shooter, and that’s, “get the president the fuck out of there yesterday.” There’s no way they would have let Trump stand back up and pose for his picture, and there’s no way a geriatric who believes that exercise shortens your life would be able to overpower them.
Then, there’s the fact that the shooter was seen by people in the crowd sitting on the wall around the event. There’s no way the snipers didn’t see him and didn’t track his movements from that point.
Then there’s the cop who saw the shooter posted up (on body cam), and just climbed back down and did nothing.
Trump was hit in the ear. Most of the ear is cartilage, especially where he was hit. One thing people don’t know about ear cartilage is that it can shatter (happens all the time with inexperienced piercers), and a gun shot wound to that area likely would have shattered his cartilage.
Even if it didn’t, those types of wounds take a really long time to heal if you’re a normal person, since cartilage doesn’t have great blood flow. Geriatrics especially take a long time to heal from pretty much anything, so there’s no way his ear would be healed a day or two later, but pictures of him don’t show a scratch.

Nah, it was a blood packet. A cartilage wound on a geriatric doesn’t heal overnight.
You are suggesting a conspiracy theory. I do not have a problem with that, that’s fine…
Tell me more, if you want.
I am not saying I will be persuaded to believe it, but I like conversations and I am here to keep the conversation on things going.
