        I think if it was strong enough to bloody his ear like that then a few centimeters difference could potentially have done very serious damage.

          Is it possible that it could be a direct hit on the side of his head with something like a paintball gun or something stronger than that but not quite enough to do fatal damage? I have no experience with guns of any kind, genuinely wondering.

        it’s just very convenient and fantastic timing. They’ll rally around this, they got their photo op, naturally blame the libs and It wouldn’t surprise me at all, not one little bit, that when they “find” the shooter…gasp…they’ll be a self proclaimed massive liberal.

        This just seems like russan levels of “fell out a window” bullshit.

          Well again this is kind of jumping to conclusions. There’s really no need to speculate preemptively on such events the very minute they are covered in the news. I feel like it’s more responsible in general to wait and see more details and facts as the situation is investigated.

            i’m just skeptical. Secret service let him stand there a couple times and pose. wouldn’t they wisk him off stage regardless of his protests?

            regardless this will decide the election and as of today the US is fucked.

              Being skeptical is healthy to a degree but preemptively speculating on stuff with no evidence has a tendency to be “rumor mongering” and do that enough and you get pseudo news like “Some People Think Rally Attack Was Staged” and then the whole “news based on nebulous facts” cycle begins.

          The shooter is dead, according to reports, along with one spectator, and others wounded, some critically. The bullet clipped Trump’s ear, he claims. There was blood on his ear apparently. If those things are all true it’s hard to see it as a deliberate near miss. It looks very much like someone tried to kill him.

      So what’s the theory here? Trump convinced one of his zealots to shoot him in the head/ear, potentially or intentionally kill others, and then die?

      As crazy as trump and MAGA are, this is too much.

      Did you actually read the article? There are dead and wounded, people being airlifted, blood in the bleachers, etc. You honestly think it’s all staged?
