    I don’t like McDonald’s but this was probably the least offensive and most quintessentially American thing he ever did (other than getting shot at lol). If he was just a no taste bumpkin with a good heart it would be fine, but he ain’t got no heart.

          Aside from the multiple news sources reporting that he was hit by glass fragments from the teleprompter, the wound is pretty obviously not from a bullet. An intact bullet would have caused much more damage, which would have taken much longer to heal.

          Edit: I’m not linking to any articles because I have no idea what news sources you’re going to claim are “fake news”. The information is out there if you want to find it, and plenty of information claiming “he took a bullet for his country” if you don’t.

            lol I wasn’t planning on calling anything fake news. I was just curious if there was more to it than the teleprompter fragment bit, which I don’t believe. But it has always been perplexing to me that the wound was so “minimal” and how quickly it seemed to just be gone. Like look at the interview from the Black Journalists convention. It looks fuckin’ fine lmao

            By the way, I don’t believe the teleprompter bit simply because it doesn’t seem physically possible. Maybe I’m wrong. 🤷🏼‍♂️

              Ah okay. My bad for misjudging you. But yeah, how quickly it healed is evidence enough. My ear piercings took longer to heal than his “gunshot wound”. LOL

                My only thing is that, since the teleprompter shard isn’t ’believable’ to me, what the hell could have happened? Maybe I’m just seriously miscalculating something in my head, very plausible because I’m stupid. but I haven’t seen any other explanation than the teleprompter so again I’m like 🤷🏼‍♂️

                  It could have been a small bullet fragment from a ricochet, or any sort of debris that was kicked up from the bullet impact. Bullets move hella fast.

                  I’m no ballistics expert, but bullets move very quickly, so it makes sense to me that they’d shatter glass with enough enough force to break the skin.

                    I don’t think so. With the distance between the person and the prompter, the shard would practically have to be carried by the bullet. And at that point, the glass is an accessory to the bullet that shot you.

                    And I also think that, if a bullet could break glass like that, it would break into absolutely tiny pieces, not significant enough to do the damage we “saw” here.

                    Again, big dumbass here. Just laying out the way I see it.

      He only did it because he forced the government into a lockdown over his wall, and legally couldn’t pay any of the staff’s chefs
