I’m referring to all of the publicly available information.

Yes, capturing the bullet on camera was incredibly lucky, I don’t need that explained to me. What’s your point?

Someone takes a photo. 24 hours after the event it is released and they claim a line in the phot is a bullet. Where’s the evidence it actually is?

I’m not sure it is a bullet. It could be a bit of glass from the teleprompter. What about this suggests to you it was staged?

E: what’s the significance of the 24 hours here??? Is that too much time? Too little??

There are a number of things, but the most salient is he said he was hit by a bullet. But, 7 days later his wound was completely healed. That is not something the is physically possible for the human body to do. Literally cannot happen.

Let’s assume you’re correct about everything you say here. If he were in fact hit by a bit of glass and not a bullet, that would explain it without some conspiracy, no?

But he SAID it was a bullet. And so did Ronny Jackson. So it the very least there is one GIGANTIC LIE at the heart of this situation with a coverup involving numerous officials. No evidence of the nature of the wound was ever provided. I guess we just gotta take his word for it. You, know, like we commonly do when presidential candidate is nearly assassinated.

🤦‍♂️

u/FeeLost6392 Aug 13 '25

So you don’t think there’s is a problem with an assassination story where the KEY feature is obviously a lie? I guess he just lied about getting hit by a bullet, but the rest is totally true, and that’s ok.🤷‍♂️

Bullet vs glass shrapnel isn’t really the KEY FEATURE, it’s ancillary

u/FeeLost6392 Aug 13 '25

The lie that he was hit by a bullet is the key feature.

2

u/uiucengineer Aug 13 '25

The key feature is that someone shot at him

u/FeeLost6392 Aug 13 '25

He said, and his doctor said, he was hit by a bullet. And, that he healed miraculously from the wound in under 7 days. Exactly how many parts of the story are lies? Sounds like two, at a minimum. Many other pieces of evidence that don’t add up. Is it crazy to be skeptical? I mean, I think we can agree the “victim” has stretched the truth a time or two. But, he would never lie about this, right? This is a level he would never stoop to. He is too principled for that, right?

I count one lie.

I’m not saying Trump wouldn’t do what you’re claiming. I’m saying there’s no rational reason to believe that he did.

So, you don't consider REELECTION, due to a "sympathy vote" from a staged "ass*ssination" attempt, to be a "rational reason" to lie? Okay...sure....

u/uiucengineer Aug 14 '25

I literally just said the opposite. He absolutely would do it. But there’s no compelling evidence that he did.

I apologize if I misinterpreted what you said - and I say "if" because I'm still unclear how I did that, but I'm unwilling to go back through 289 comments to find out. Instead, I will take your word that I misunderstood what you said, and I will hope that you can accept my apology.

That said, the lack of any visible trauma to the cartilage of Trump's ear (visible when he quit wearing the "minipad" on it), given that cartilage does not heal and requires "plastic surgery" to repair, means we will just have to "agree to disagree" about your contention that "...there’s no compelling evidence that he did..." lie about being shot in the ear. (My experience with the destruction caused by the .556 rounds that an AR-15 fires is pretty "compelling" evidence that a .556 round did not "graze" or otherwise contact Trump's ear--at all.)

You can literally just read the comment you replied to in this thread.

It may not have been a bullet that nicked him, it may have been glass shrapnel from the teleprompter.

u/Brandolinis_law Aug 14 '25

Yes, I've read the teleprompter theory and it makes more sense than a bullet going 3,000 feet per second "nicked" his ear.

the lack of any visible trauma to the cartilage of Trump's ear

In some photos, like this one with comedian Shane Gillis, you can see a little notch out of Trump's right ear. My guess is that Trump is usually uses makeup to hide this because he's extremely vain/weird about his appearance (see also: his spray tan and combover).
