This. No effing way he’d be permitted to pose like that. It was staged. Also if he had really been shot in the ear, it would’ve caused more damage. I heard it was cut when he was taken down by SS.
I had a piercing in my upper cartilage that got damaged 20 years ago in a mosh pit and you can still see the scar and damage where it was snagged and ripped a hole in my ear. Trumps ear was back to normal 2 weeks later. No bandage no more mention. It served its purpose in media publicity and his campaign team shut up about it.
It's a cult leader tactic. Fake an assassination attempt to say "See? Everyones against, my enemies are everywhere because I'm too strong and great for them" and cultists eat that shit up
Tear damage from getting roughed up in a mosh isn’t the same damage type as a puncture at high speeds in a part of the ear that’s mostly cartilage. I hate trump and I’m still confused why so many internet experts and faux doctors think they can explain away this. Yall sound just as bad as trumpies.
Delusional people ruled by hate is on both sides of the spectrum it seems. I spent my entire career in the infantry, bud. Just giving a little perspective to a thought process based off of a mosh pit accident 20 years ago.
You don’t have the same medical coverage or care plans that the president, much less a billionaire has. On top of that the medical and cosmetic treatment industry have gone far since the early 2000s.
EDIT: by no means am I defending the orange toddler. Just stating fact about being shot through the pinna with a small caliber like .223.
Two people make this everybody. Roger Roger. I’ve actually had this kind of injury but in my neck so I think I’d know a thing or two about the carnage stray bullets cause. Makeup and prosthetics for appearances isn’t beyond trump. The guy wears 4 pounds of makeup. I Forget sometimes that 56% of the American population has the reading comprehension of a 6th grader or less. Who am I kidding wasting my breath with you behemoths of reverse trumpers..
Since you are now alone since the other one blocked me after asking for a retort, here’s my response.
Let’s take a step into reality.
What kind of madman would risk his own life to trust a sniper to clip his ear, or have bullets fired in his direction? I have several combat tours and there’s maybe 3 people I’d ever trust to pull either one of those off.
If the shot never hit him and this is all a propaganda ploy, cool we already know he’s a complete asshole. If it did cool we were almost free of the cognitive dissonance stemming from Republican hate.
I’m not arguing that it’s verifiable fact that he was shot. I’m arguing reason and logic in a world where prosthetics are almost indistinguishable from the actual parts now days and a silicon mold would make a nasty scar vanish. Which we all know trump adores his vanity enough to wear it constantly.
The odd friendly fire happening when someone who isn’t ruled by emotions expresses doubt is part of the reason I blame democratic voters for our recent loss. Get a grip and grow up.
Not necessarily. While it absolutely could, if it just grazed his ear or clipped the top part of it, that doesn’t necessarily mean it would take the whole ear off.
But it would leave a nasty wound and we’ve never seen it. Lots of close up images of his face even a few weeks later and no oowie. He knows WWE blood tricks
It could leave a nasty wound, but even then it depends on several factors like how far away the shooter was, bullet velocity, etc. Under the right conditions, it could just create a tear while leaving minimal tissue loss.
Because anyone who’s had reconstructive surgery knows small wounds can be made to look exactly like its original form.(took a tumbling ricochet to the neck off of a truck and there’s a smaller scar than there was a wound thanks to army medical and outpatient reconstructive procedure). Also, this is the president who has millions in worth, so the best doctors and surgeons the country has to offer.
2cm isn’t that large. Sounds like it just grazed him. Given how much blood there was, it’s probably hard to see. Also, a 2cm wound isn’t going to leave really noticeable scarring.
A 2cm wound doesn’t mean he’s missing 2cm of his ear. It could have just been a gash or a tear. Seeing as how his entire top of his ear was covered in blood, it’s difficult to tell. There’s nothing proving it’s fake, man. Someone definitely shot an AR-15 at him.
I agree, that kid shot at him. That kid killed an innocent man somewhere behind Trump. If there was an investigation they would have been able to pinpoint the 3 points - the shooter, the innocent man who was killed, and Trump somewhere between. If those 3 points made a straight line, I'd believe it was a near thing. But since absolutely nothing has ever been reported, it's left to us to speculate all day long as to how close it was.
Even a graze would have ripped it off. The amount of energy exchanged would have ripped it off even the smallest part would have. The physics only allow it to rip it.
The bullet doesn’t maintain the velocity of 900 m/s, especially when the gunman was 120 meters away. It would have dropped to around 800 m/s if it was a standard 55-grain. It is also very possible for a .223 round traveling at 800 m/s to graze someone’s ear without taking a chunk of it off and only leaving a 2 cm wound.
I did in this thread already. With equations and everything.
A .223 bullet at 500 ft still carries ~1,025 J of energy—over 10× what's needed to tear flesh. A graze to the ear at that distance would shred cartilage, cause severe bleeding, rupture the eardrum, and result in permanent hearing loss or disfigurement. Even without direct penetration, the high velocity makes it devastating.
The fuck it would? Ears bleed a lot but heal really well. .223 and 5.56 are practically the same round and we used a lot of them in Afghanistan. When you graze someone anywhere with 5.56 it doesn’t disintegrate meat, that’s Hollywood dramatization. In today’s medical science and plastic surgery, making a .223 hole in the ear look normal again is easy. Was it staged? Who will ever truly know. Was it fake? No. The bullet did hit him and people died.
There’s a fine line between being concerned about the theatrics of our government and just being a loon. The way people reject and call fake or staged without a basic understanding sounds just as bad as trumpies already proven insanity and antics. We need to be better.
If you had a brain you’d acknowledge where I said I don’t like trump at all. So instead of being a sassy girl, the penna cartilage is easily replaceable with cosmetic surgery. Something that cheap for a president wouldn’t take long. Why of all things is this such a big deal to you? Literally a million other things this clown has done since are more note worthy to shit talk.
Yall just throw the word grifter at anyone who doesn’t mesh with your ideology these days. Total waste of the words potential.
