    Pretty sure it was glass from the teleprompter. Ears have a lot of blood flow, especially when you’re on a bunch of uppers. Probably wouldn’t leave much more than a tiny scar line that you couldn’t see. It also behooves them to not say this because it’s less cool and laughter is antithesis of small men insecurity.

    Doesn’t really matter, the fact that a right wing nut shot at him is still pretty noteworthy for the current climate.

      Yeah, the part that I found absurd was when the FBI was saying that they hadn’t confirmed if he was struck by the bullet itself or the shrapnel, Trump got SUUUPER butthurt about that. He said that he’d definitely been shot by the bullet. As if he could possibly know. As if saw the damn damn bullet graze his ear.

      It was absurd because, who the fuck cares!? Like fuck Trump, and his supposed hero status from the event. But the fact that he was shot at and narrowly escaped taking one to the melon wasn’t under debate. Nor was that he was hit by something that caused him (minor) physical damage. Whether or not the actual damage was minor or whether or not it was specifically the bullet that caused it, he was still targetted by a wouldbe assassin and still nearly lost his life. The details beyond that are inconsequential.
