Except there is no way his ear really was scraped by a bullet. They didn’t even bother to produce a half-arsed scar on the earlobe to make the charade convincing.

    Yep! All fake! Brave Donald Trump conspired to have a teenager fire an assault rifle at him from 350'. The teenager agreed to die by sniper fire. Biden's USSS, who he had purged of MAGA, and Trump was not in charge of, was in on it. The local cops were in on it. The NYT photographer who caught a pic of the bullet in flight was in on it. The dead guy behind Trump shot himself, as did the wounded folks, because they loved Trump so much. Trump pulled a masterful piece of acting where he looked utterly stunned when they picked him up. Biden's FBI confirmed Trump was fired on. We all know what masterful planning and execution Trump and his people are capable of, and they always keep their mouths shut, not a single leak! All this for a single-digit ratings bump that barely lasted a week. It's all very simple if you think about it.

    OR, a teenager got past weak security, climbed onto a rooftop and shot his shot, missed and barely dinged Trump in the ear.

    This is THE dumbest conspiracy theory I've ever heard. Used to be it was just morons on the right that were such complete fucking morons.

    EDIT: Oh shit! Trump even paid off Snopes!

    I thought that the fake part was just that he hurt his ear while ducking down and since he's an older man, a slight scratch can bleed quite a bit. So him claiming to be hit by the bullet was possibly fake.

    That doesn't have to invoke a full blown conspiracy of multiple suicides and fake gun assault.

    In wrestling they will cut themselves with razor blades to make themselves bleed. He was heavily involved with the WWE and its owner for decades. The speculation was that he did something similar with the broken glass from the teleprompter. So what's fake is that he saw the broken glass and when the shooter was down he cut himself in some place that bleeds well and jumped up to get the photo op.

    I think that’s beyond the capabilities of the demented sac of feces through. Whatever they stashed there went down differently.

    Nice, gigantic strawman and not a single word about anything I said. That's something for sure.

    Let me repeat: There is no way his ear really was scraped by a bullet. They didn’t even bother to produce a half-arsed scar on the earlobe to make the charade convincing.

    You made of this:

    • The teenager agreed to die by sniper fire. - Who, except the voices in your head, said that?
    • Structure of the USSS with source trust me bro.
    • There's a pic of a bullet flying - Please point out where I say there weren't any bullets fired or was it the voices again?
    • etc. etc blablabla on stuff I never wrote.

    Again. and maybe read it slower this time: The. Ear. Wasn't. Wounded.

    You conspiracy people, on this subject, are morons. That was my message and I stand by it.

    So everything else was true, but the bullet wound was faked?! Is that where we're at?

    Question: is there some evidence or new fact that would make you change your mind on this? If so, what? If not, what does that say about your belief?

    I do think his ear really was hit by the bullet, but if a major news org were to release some evidence that there actually was a conspiracy and it was all fake, I'd change my mind no question.

    Easy: a credible medical exam stating his ear was indeed hurt by a bullet.

    And by credible I mean not by the doctors stating he is healthy but independent ones.

    There’s a lot amiss in that story but it is also yesterdays news.

    Literally, show the scar on his ear. Where is it? A part of his ear should have been blown off. What happened?

    Or was it just a piece of glass from the screen that shattered, cutting his ear a little?

    It was a bullet, we have a pic of it in flight. It barely dinged him and head wounds bleed like mad.

    I sliced the side of my finger off, as in completely flat. Because of modern wound care there isn't a scar would would see in a pic and the flesh actually filled back far better than the ER doc said was possible.
