Trump barely got dinged in the ear, either by a bullet or teleprompter shrapnel. The tiniest head wounds bleed like hell. Take this conspiracy crap and jam it.
I like how you call it "conspiracy crap" immediately after agreeing with what the conspiracy theorists are saying.
I'm guessing the conspiracy part is how they're suggesting it was all faked, with a stage blood pack or whatever. Or that it was real, but that Trump paid for it so he could get reelected.
Maybe. I don't think it's super believable in either case (the Trump organization famously has terrible opsec, somebody would've talked by now). And more to the point, it doesn't really matter. He's probably done a half dozen worse things today that we wouldn't need to hatch a conspiracy theory about.
He got shot. Or he didn't. Whatever. He's wreaking havoc now, and even if a conspiracy could be proven it wouldn't change anyone's mind.
Didn't say Trump took a hit through the ear. Funny enough, people testing on pig ears got the exact result we see on the rightmost pic. "Nuh uh! His ear would have asploded!", some said. Nah. Not if he was dinged.
Ever cut your ear shaving? (Us olds have to do that.) Bleeds like hell, wound gone in 2 days, tops. I'm learning to use an old-school safety razor. Diced hell out of my neck last week, blood dripping down my chest, 5 wounds, healed in 2 days, no trace. That's all that happened here.
tl;dr: Tiny wounds above your collarbone bleed like hell, and because of the massive blood flow, they heal fast. Nothing to see here but a half-assed assassination attempt.
could i recommend using one of those electric beard trimmers especially on the ears
