    There is a photograph that happened to catch the bullet in mid-flight just short of hitting Trump. There has been no credible statements from anyone who would know saying it was from the teleprompter. There isn’t even any reporting that the teleprompter was hit. It’s just one of a dozen fabricated narratives. If you can’t “sleuth” any better than this, you are going to be steamrolled by AI generated propaganda.

      The bullet in the picture doesn’t really prove anything. It could be 2” from his head or 2’ from his head.

      I would hope the world is smarter than that and could realize it, along with understanding the rupture mechanics behind the glass of a teleprompter shattering, but I guess not.

        I think you mean the mechanics of a teleprompter sitting there since, as I said, there is no evidence whatsoever that it was hit, and eyewitnesses saying it wasn’t. Sure, it’s possible. The bullet might also have struck a passing bird and it’s beak flew into Trump’s ear.

        I get conspiracy theories that drive towards some desired political ends, but this random bullshit is just dumb. Somebody shot a bullet and as a result Trump has a bloody ear. Why should anyone even care if it hit directly or was a secondary impact? It changes nothing of any relevance.
