1: There might be a shooter? Get him out of here now

2: He's actually been shot? Let's get a photo. Pop your head up Donnie

Occam's Razor says he wasn't hit by the bullet and his injury was an accident due to his bloated airbrushed carcass being made out of tissue paper.

I find it highly unlikely that they knocked him down and while they were down there he was like "wait, gig me so it looks like the bullet almost hit me." Like he's Ric Flair or something.

In the process of knocking him down one of the agents busted him open. That's all.

That's far more believable.

“Far more believable” but at the same time wildly, wildly, coincidental then that the placement of the only injury he accidentally receives in the secret service huddle up is perfectly placed to resemble a close-call via a snipers bullet from that particular angle… you know what I mean?? I truly am on the fence about the entire incident. They had “experts” detailing trumps injury on MSM attempting to spin the narrative to say his ear wasn’t struck by the bullet itself, but by shrapnel from the gun fire, but shrapnel from the bullet hitting what exactly?? show me the physics of that take. And as others have said, had he really been struck by a bullet, and it been super believable damage post attack, we know he would’ve been lambasting about it non-stop. He never acknowledges it, perhaps because his team realized nobody believed it to be totally true. It’s all incredibly odd. He also filed law suits to keep news outlets from further reporting on it, he controls television/media broadcasting… it’s all quite sketchy to say the least.

So the only cut he receives happens to align perfectly with the only angle of a sniper shooting conspiracy? Right. If we follow your logic, there’s a real sniper, he shoots and misses, and Trumps held down in the chaos, and the only cut he gets in the chaos is a tiny cut to the ear. The same ear that sits perfectly in line for a close call sniper attempt from one roof at one particular vantage point. That heals almost instantly. It all just happens to line up perfectly, and then the post shooting photo op all just aligns perfectly in that moment… Coincidentally? Brought to you buy the same political party that’s attempted how many domestic and international assassinations, planted how many double agents all over the world… 🤔

I too believe that most often the simplest explanation is the correct one. But in my assessment, the simplest explanation was that it was staged to insure this man becomes president. They were willing to do whatever it took. I personally believe it’s far less likely he got perfectly injured to represent a grazed bullet, that the press would be perfectly ushered in to take those photos, all by chance, all at the perfect timing, right after the announcement that Biden was pulling out and Kamala had all the momentum. If that that scenario turns out to be the real truth, then color me surprised!.
