What was elevation of the building the shooter was on compared to the elevation of the stage? Even at only 200 yards there will be a few inch drop. If the elevation of shooter is higher than stage, trajectory will not be a flat line , it would be at a downward angle. 5.56-.223 are very small caliber that yaw and fragment once it strikes something due to speed/ shape and size/ weight.That bullet hit the top of his right ear? Sus.
It's honestly super simple. A shit ton of posters here hate Trump. Besides a handful of them they were shocked at the attempt and rightfully said political violence shouldn't happen.
I don’t feel bad for Trump….I feel bad for folks who are surprised someone would take a shot at the Prez….jeeebys Boyz, Americans love guns! Americans love to deny mental illness and guns are not a good mix and gun sales need to more heavily regulated (MY freedom!) this is a normal expected outcome….More guns is not the answer. Fewer guns and more regulations seem the logical choice here.
why does every article just refer to trump or his tweet. i don't need journos telling me what everybody already knows presenting it like they uncovered something. they should be talking to medical professionals, snipers, first hand examiners of the crime scene and telling me new shit. now there may be such articles but i haven't found them using google news. this is not a reflection on trump or the potential lethality of the attempt on his life as much as bemoaning lack of good (journalistic) stuff.
Enforce the laws against illegal gun possession in Lib cities
I've heard people say this is one of the other bullets I don't know. We'll probably never know and we're going to have the magic bullet theories like JFK
Even if we take this seriously, just extend the line. Maybe it could have hit the bottom of his earlobe.
Probably too low even for that. But maybe.
What is there to figure out, count the original shots, one of them grazed his ear
Our educational system has achieved what the leftists set out to do starting with the Boomers who went into teaching back in the 70’s.
Do teleprompters have to shatter for a chip to be knocked off by a bullet?
At some point you just know he’s going to change this to having to have the ear surgically reattached.While I do believe Trump got shot in the ear, Trump brings a lot of skepticism onto himself in the way he addresses things, specifically the shooting in this case.
In his telling of the events surrounding the shooting, he embellished a part of the story despite there being evidence he was embellishing.
From Last Night :
when I heard a loud whizzing sound and felt something hit me really, really hard. On my right ear. I said to myself, “Wow, what was that? It can only be a bullet.”
And moved my right hand to my ear, brought it down. My hand was covered with blood. Just absolutely blood all over the place. I immediately knew it was very serious. That we were under attack.
Unless we are to believe that the Secret Service took the time to clean his hand, it is obvious that he embellished the story. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter, as what matters is that someone took shots at a Presidential candidate.
However, that doesn't change the fact that when someone opens themselves up to skepticism or criticism, people are going to jump at the chance to be skeptical or critical, especially when it is someone they dislike.
Embellish is a great word and that's what he does. I admit it. I've been in sales for a while and I think he's one of the better salesmen that spins and embellishes. A lot of Democrats call that lies but it's actually embellishment.While I do believe Trump got shot in the ear, Trump brings a lot of skepticism onto himself in the way he addresses things, specifically the shooting in this case.

Doesn’t the top picture show blood on his hand?While I do believe Trump got shot in the ear, Trump brings a lot of skepticism onto himself in the way he addresses things, specifically the shooting in this case.

There are still pictures that show a bullet going by Trump’s head. I guess conspiracy theorists can say it’s photo shopped? 🥴
Again, just relaying stuff that I saw reported initially, as I didn’t watch much news over the weekend.
Trump was holding a small blister pack of blood in his right hand. When he heard the first shot, he slapped his ear, breaking the blister pack, then took a knee.
Way to select back of hand , etc pictures.Looking closer and still did not see his right hand covered in blood. From this angle, there does not appear to be a smudge on the thumb.
Nothing on the back of the hand or the middle, ring, or pinky finger
And this front view lacks coverage of blood
Maybe you could detail the part of the hand you believe is "covered" in blood.
The people who stormed the Capitol were just there for a leisurely stroll…tourists, really.
