Are there any actual pictures of the wound? Closest I’ve seen is an ear with blood on it, but none that show actual tissue damage.
[Tinfoil hat]As performative as the first pump n’ shit was, and as utterly devoid of morality as Trump is, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the assassination attempt was some sketchy shit like the gunman being paid to pop a few shots at a couple expendable cultists behind Trump, so that Trump could dive behind the podium where none of the cameras were pointed, pull a packet of red shit from his pocket and smash it onto his ear, then raise into his cheesey fucking first pump stance in the middle of a bunch of panicked security guards. …and backstab whatever deal was initially made with the gunman by just killing that loose end on the spot.[/Tinfoil hat]
^Theory completely debunked if anyone’s got a pic from that event that shows an actual chunk missing from his ear. A few folks have mentioned some of the articles included such pics, but so far I’ve come up empty - just pics of a 'blood’y ear at the event, and a bandaged ear after.
