No one cares whether it a bullet or shrapnel in a war when a wounded soldier gets a purple heart. You'll never

see those guys get confused about what it was that hit them. They wouldn't even consider having a reason to lie about it. Most of them didn't put in for a purple heart in first place with just a scratch.

He got shot at and he got hit. Going off on how he took a bullet and was somehow heroic if they know damn well it was plastic or glass and barely needed a Band-Aid is an unforced error. LOL

I don't know if the pics I've seen of Trump after the shooting with no bandage are real but the phony one they put on him was. Dead giveaway that his ear wasn't torn up. If it was, we would have seen a professionally applied bandage that about any nurse could confirm at least looked real.

That convinces me that it was just a scratch that I probably would have left open to air if it wasn't bleeding. A little flesh colored bandage you'd barely see at the most. My hair would probably hide it anyway. He had to show off his woundedness.

The republicon Felon thinks our wounded soldiers are "suckers and losers."

The republicon draft dodger lost my respect for All Flipping Eternity when he said that,.

What caused the injury to his ear and how bad that injury is just seems to be a trivial matter in that context. Let him wear a big piece of gauze. Who cares?
