I’m not that cynical (yet). But this will help him, unfortunately.
It sounded like a lot of shots, I’m surprised no one else was hit.
You’d really think someone could be good enough to shoot his ear and be confident it wouldn’t kill him?
Quite possible the rest of the shots were the shooting being killed.
NBC announcer just said he heard 13 shots, after watching the replay.
If so, hard to believe that nobody else was hit.
From ABC
1 cm difference and half his head would be gone. Absolutely crazy.
They were just reporting people entering these rallies are screened for firearms, so either someone snuck one in, or it was a sharpshooter from outside the venue.
They also speculated the bloody ear may have been from the Secret Service tackling him to the deck.
It looks to me like shots must have come from the grandstand behind him. His face was turned to his right, and his right ear was hit. Isn’t the grandstand behind him usually reserved for supporters?
I’ve heard time travel can leave a person disoriented, so that person from the future had trouble aiming.
No but perhaps someone lit off a firecracker while Trump put a capsule full of “blood” up to his ear.
I feel like if there was a sniper who really wanted to hurt him and managed to evade the Secret Service well enough to actually be able to take the shot, they sure as hell would not miss.
I also can’t help but notice the Secret Service did not jump in front of the bullet, if that’s what it was.
Those do not sound like gun shots. Sounds more like a nail gun or something with compressed air.
Except he grabbed his ear as the shots rang out.
Thoughts and prayers.
No, but I think there could be sounds played that appear to be shots and a fake blood packet in his hand to slap on himself as he falls. I’d already been thinking they might fake an attempt, since he keep talking about the threat he’s under and how narrowly he escapes death.
He grabbed his ear before the Secret Service did anything.
Trump can’t stand the sight of blood. No way he’d willingly allow himself to be seen even with fake blood on him.
Ketchup though…
My thought also.
Oh, that the shooting itself was fake. Well, I’m sure we’ll know soon. When Trump’s toadies try their shenanigans they aren’t very good at the coverup, hence all the charges being thrown around from before.
I doubt it was fake though. Hard to fake something like this in public despite what Alex Jones would like you to believe.
The comments downplaying political violence or promoting ridiculous conspiracies when the target is on the right are not at all surprising.
