Damn nice forensics. I was about to suggest it might be mirrored as some phones do that automatically. I wonder what they’re gonna say now and if he’s gonna go back to wearing that bandage.
I mean, they won’t ever believe it. No matter what kind of irrefutable evidence comes out, they’ll all still believe he was shot in the ear. There could be slow motion camera footage of the perfect angle to see the shrapnel/glass graze his ear in a super clear picture perfect image and they’d still deny that he wasn’t shot in the ear.
Yes, but the difference is that when showing said irrefutable evidence in a group setting, the neutral parties who are listening into the discussion can see who is a dumbass.
Its not about convincing the Trump supporter. In many cases, its about convincing the low-information undecided voters who are sitting around or just casually listening in.
We aren’t there quite yet. I’d like to see more evidence than just one picture that’s been seemingly withdrawn by the AP. If Trump’s ear truly is healed up by now, we’ll get more pictures soon.
That’s pretty common grammar for news headlines; yes it means ‘and’ and yes it’s annoying/silly. It probably harkens back to print media needing to condense as much as possible to save on space and ink and it just continues because institutional traditions.
FBI Chief Wray was very careful saying that “Bullet or Shrapnel that Hit Trump’s Ear”, leaving things ambiguous. It set off some discussion online last week, with people wondering why he didn’t just say “The bullet that hit Trump’s Ear”.
I guess FBI Chief knew something was up already and was already hedging his bets. Well, I’d expect intelligence to… well… know things before everyone else.
Obviously Trump was bleeding from his ear. Something absolutely hit it. But if its healed this well by now, it probably wasn’t an AR-15 round.
Very interesting. I don’t think Trump can just leave that thing bandaged up for the next few months, everyone knows he’s gotta take the bandage off permanently eventually. The truth will come out.
The footage has Trump grab his ear midspeech, look around and get down immediately.
Something hit Trump’s ear. Its so weird that the Trump team thought it’d be best to pretend it was a bullet this whole time, surely they would have seen the wound and would have known?
Any doctor who saw the ear afterwards would have been able to say Bullet vs Glass vs whatever based on what they saw. If this whole “bullet to the ear” thing ends up being a massive lie created by Trump’s team, that speaks poorly of this upcomming election. Especially if it becomes representative of Trump’s lying and how much he makes his followers look like a fool.
If it ends up to be a true bullet-to-the-ear scenario, then whatever. Kamala looks like she was on her way to gaining momentum for the near future anyway and she has much better chances than I ever expected. (She’s not winning in the polls yet, but her energy is palpable. I can believe that she can turn this around between now and November, even without relying upon this weird ear thing going on…)
Lol you know it was a lie by felon trump’s team. All they do is lie constantly. It would’ve been handled by them very differently if he had actually been hit by the bullet.
That’s the point I started to wonder: He grabs his ear, lowers his hand, and there’s nothing on it. Not even a tiny bit of blood on his tiny little hand.
I’ve never been allegedly hit in the ear, but most head wounds bleed immediately, and profusely.
Still, in this post do we know we’re looking at the right side of his big fat head? Photos are easily mirrored.

Photos are easily mirrored but Trump’s hairstyle is reliably Trump’s right to Trump’s left. So this alleged photograph is definitely of Trump’s right ear.
With the AP seeming to withdraw this photograph, there’s some controversy at play here. But AP is a well respected news brand. Surely they’d write about a story if they found something here.
In the moments after a traumatic wound the blood vessels will momentarily contract before releasing again. I’ve cut myself before and had it take a few moments before it starts bleeding. Not saying this isn’t really sus, just that the specific thing you mentioned isn’t a (pardon the pun) smoking gun.

I wouldn’t be surprised if in that statement he also added, “trump is in the best shape of his life, has 2% body fat, and will live to be 132.” Because we all know that doctor just loves lying out of his ass. Does he even still have his license to practice medicine considering he is a fraud?
Two centimeters long by how wide? Zero? And maybe .1 deep? Like a papercut? Something like that could possibly get stitched or glued together in the allowed time. But it would definitely be shrapnel in that case, or his own fingernail. Like, if he felt a bullet go past, realized and ducked, then felt foolish and decided it would be better publicity with a wound instead of the focus being on him crouching for cover. I won’t say cowering because it’s an appropriate response to being shot at, but he would think it.
My heart goes out to the 3 very real victims, whose only crime was being idiot enough to be at a Trump rally. I hope the Trump campaign will put some money towards their medical bills (she said knowing they won’t).
