    Well, I do have to say it is interesting. I’m no expert on gun shot wounds of any kind, but I’m not sure how much visible damage should remain at this point. His doctor, Ronny Jackson said that the bullet track “produced a 2 cm wide wound that extended down to the cartilaginous surface of the ear."

    This image is from this article and is dated Aug-24, 2023, obviously before he was injured.

    This is from the post mentioned in the article dated July-27, 2024, nearly 2 weeks after the injury.

    I can’t see any marks from a bullet wound. Am I blind? It has only been 1.5 to 2 weeks since the injury. Shouldn’t there still be some visible scarring if it was an actual hit and left a 2 cm (that’s about 3/4" for my fellow Americans) wide track down to the cartilage?

        Exactly. As usual, Jackson is lying through his teeth. It was a slight graze. He didn’t get part of his ear blown off.

          If his ear got hit with a bullet. It absolutely would have destroyed part of his ear. Literally anyone that owns a gun would know that. It was for sure a piece of glass.

            I was deployed twice, got to see people with grazing wounds. They still needed a lot of stitches due to the kinetic energy of the bullet flying by them.

            I don’t by for one second Trump was grazed.

        I’m glad you’re pushing back. That person didn’t address any of the valid points you’ve raised and I can’t stand when people respond and do that.

      I’m 30 and don’t heal from a blister in 2 weeks.

      This dude is 80 and had a piece of his ear ripped off, totally healed 2 weeks later, no deformity.

      His doctor

      If that’s that the same doctor that keeps trying to claim Trump isn’t obese, then in not believing a word he says

      Prosthetics and make-up can explain this. Leonard Nimoy’s ears were pointy when he was on camera on Star Trek, but not the rest of the time. It is all stuff they can control for.

      I don’t understand what Souza is saying. That Trump was struck by broken glass rather than a bullet? Ok fine, there was considerable uncertainty about that for a while, so maybe there still is. That Trump was not hit by anything at all and that the whole thing is a fake? That is far fetched.

        Why would he or his make up artist try to downplay the only real way he’ll ever gain a modicum of mass sympathy? He’s not someone trying to hide the fact that he barely missed catching a bullet, so playing with make up to hide something he’s going to talk about until he dies doesn’t make any sense to me.

        The wildest one I read was that Trump razored his own ear, a skill he learned from WWE wrestlers, and the kid was a CIA plant that they knew couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn.

        Tiny explosives were placed in the mounting brackets of the teleprompters.

        No aliens, though. I did feel let down.

      I think wether he got hit by a bullet or a shard of shattered glass is irrelevant. The damage is the same and it was still the same outcome.

        Well, you’re not wrong, but that’s not the point of what I said. The point is that there was supposedly a 2cm (3/4" wide) wound down to the cartilage of his ear. Less than 2 weeks later, there is no sign of it. So the damage was apparently very minor and they have been playing up with the panty-liners on their heads.

          I mean if a bullet hit his ear he’d be missing a chunk of it. I don’t think he was hit by a bullet, I’m more partial to the idea he got hit by a shattered teleprompter, but I’m just pointing out that he was injured during an assassination attempt to it really doesn’t make a difference what cut up his ear. But I agree I don’t think it was a bullet imo
