Rules (interactive)

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

~~AfaIk, the wound on his ear was caused by a member of Secret Service, not by a glancing shot (although he claimed).~~
Edit: According to Wikipedia, the final stance now is that the wound was caused by a stray bullet.
There was no ear wound. His ear has no marks on it.
sauce?
Source: Look at him, and then look at anyone else who has ever had an ear injury.
I'm guessing you have examples? I don't see anything I wouldn't expect in the closeup in https://www.nickiswift.com/1909492/plastic-surgeon-trump-ear-injury-one-year-after-butler-shooting/
You should look up how Epstein abused Wikipedia.
Okay if we assume thst to be true then why did the kid get killed? Do you think 17 year olds agree to sacrifice themselves for Donald Trump, being reviled among his voterbase for the rest of history and seen as the latest Lee Harvey Oswald ?
They set people up all the time.
"Here's some money. Buy me drugs bro. You're under arrest!!"
"Oh, you're pissed off at your wife? Well what are the odds? I know a hitman!"
"So you want to die huh? Why not go out as a hero? The president will be at this location and this door will be lightly guarded. Thanks for saving your country!"
Theres probs a bunch of explanations out there
No link provided, so I looked it up. It's in the article Attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, under Shooting (pretty deep in there though):
Note that Crooks is the name of the attempted assassin, not the secret service. He fired at him so I would not call it a stray bullet.
sauce? there is zoomed-in footage of blood soon after the audible batch of shots.
You don't get 'nicked' in the ear by a bullet and then are just fine 3 days later. The bow wave on the bullet will tear pieces off, and even trivial damage to the cartilage will be visible for weeks after.
I don't remember Trump as being "just fine". I remember a very visible bandage on his ear for weeks.
Edit: Am I wrong? His bandage at the Republican Convention was all over the news and a MAGA fashion trend. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4795636-trump-without-bandage-ear/ 26-13 days is two weeks.
And though the https://www.nickiswift.com/1909492/plastic-surgeon-trump-ear-injury-one-year-after-butler-shooting/ article is tabloid, it has a great closeup of the war. See it for yourself how obviously wrong the ear looks a year after it was shot. No evidence has been presented that he was "just fine".
Tomato
The final conclusion says, it was a stray bullet and not harsh treatment by the Secret Service.
where can I find this final conclusion?
Sorry, for forgetting to attach the source:

thanks. I'm still confused by how people call it a "stray bullet" though; it was the attempted assassin's bullet aimed at Trump and hit Trump although not in the temple intended. To be a stray bullet the target would've been someone other than Trump.
Either the bullet hit something other with a hard surface and was deflected on it's trajectory, then I'd call it a stray bullet, or it was a glancing shot that has missed the head and only hit the ear.
I don't see anything to suggest it was deflected rather than a straight path
Then, I'd call it a glancing shot and not a stray bullet.
It was a chip from the teleprompter.
