• As much as I dislike the drama queen in chief, he really was hit by a bullet.

      Yahoo UK has a pretty good article with evidence: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/fact-check-hit-bullet-glass-214700870.html

      Simple fact is that the teleprompters weren’t broken when Trump got hit. So there were no glass shards at that point.

      Instead, he was very lightly grazed by a bullet, apparently causing minor damage to the helix of his ear. He was indeed a couple centimeters death here (although technically it’s debatable how much damage a bullet causes to a hollow cranium). I mean, fuck that guy, but let’s not trivialize things that did really happen.

        There’s ample evidence that both teleprompters were unharmed after the shooting. I don’t really care whether or not he was hit by a bullet or some shrapnel, but asserting that it was from the teleprompters just isn’t factual.

      Was it even his ear? I don’t think the blood was fake, I think he actually did get injured. But, I’m not convinced it hit his ear at all, unless it was multiple really shallow scratches that all healed very fast and with no damage visible after a few days.
