Donald Trump appeared to be shot in the ear as shots were fired at the former president at a rally in Pennsylvania.

Trump grabbed at the side of his face and blood spattered across his cheek as several popping sounds were heard.

Hiding a small razor blade in a hat or hand is a pretty common pro wrestling trick to fake a bloody injury. Don't know how much I believe this is a real attack. He seems way to ok with things after an attempted assassination and gets up really fast for no confirmation they caught the shooter.

I mean it COULD be a real attempt, but I'm a skeptic

I think shock (not the medical kind, just general) and a lifetime of having a completely warped sense of danger and consequence played roles in his response. Like that video internet monarchists fawn over of the attempted assassination of whichever king of terf island: He doesn't not flinch because he's made of holier stuff than us peons, he doesn't flinch because everything in his life has conspired to fuck his sense of how killable he is.

He has a bullet sized hole on his ear. We have a video frame of the bullet flying.

Put it to rest.

Frame 1 is pretty amazing timing if it's not faked.

4K video recording passed frame by frame. Unlikely to be photos.

This is what makes me suspicious too

This is a open terrorist attack against a privileged rich white man in the Global North who have access to the best security guards of the world. Why should Donald Trump panicked when any attacks against him has more severe consequence than attacks against the disabled people, the poor people, the black people, the Indigenous people who often dies from planned chemical attacks in federal reserve concentration camps, or the attacks against communities of color in the context of Pax Americana ant[i]-terrorist terrorism to kill unproven terrorist suspects?
