A video going around says the shooter was on the "Rifle Team" with his brother...

To be honest... he didn't miss. Trump turned his head.

I'm not disputing anything you said GaYellowDawg Jul 2024 #2

It makes perfect sense Fiendish Thingy Jul 2024 #8

People believe what they want to believe regardless of the facts MichMan Jul 2024 #3

Exactly. anciano Jul 2024 #27

What chip? The pic is above. WarGamer Jul 2024 #13

Top right corner on the right teleprompter. n/t Ms. Toad Jul 2024 #15

it's 100% untouched. WarGamer Jul 2024 #16

Thank you! n/t Ms. Toad Jul 2024 #17

and I'm sorry if I came across as a scold... WarGamer Jul 2024 #18

You didn't. Ms. Toad Jul 2024 #22

That's not a chip. Glass does not yield the way an earlobe does. It would have shattered it and crumbled Bernardo de La Paz Jul 2024 #37

Where are you getting your facts from? Bev54 Jul 2024 #31

you mean the photograph nad the map? WarGamer Jul 2024 #32

No I mean the glass or the bullet graze other than you are looking at a picture Bev54 Jul 2024 #34

Not seen or heard of such a picture. Please provide link. I deny your "graze" theory Bernardo de La Paz Jul 2024 #35

there was no glass in his ear (it is exposed cartilage), and the teleprompters were intact, just top with the CT Celerity Jul 2024 #39

Thank you for debunking the glass in ear by providing a photo. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Jul 2024 #41

It's a simple, frequently illustrated reason Sympthsical Jul 2024 #5

The "glass myth" BlueYonder Jul 2024 #6

No, but it is up to the glass proponents to prove their contention. They are the ones propounding the myth. . nt Bernardo de La Paz Jul 2024 #42

Well then, BlueYonder Jul 2024 #50

That lack of doctor observations doesn't stop the glass proponents from promulgating their myth. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Jul 2024 #51

There's really a weird movement not admit trump was shot. egduj Jul 2024 #7

Perhaps it's because most DU'ers are ladies and gentlemen and reluctant Glorfindel Jul 2024 #9

Good one. elleng Jul 2024 #14

That's a bad habit when some DUers post false info, CT (FAR from limited to this Trump rally) + shit and/or RW sources. Celerity Jul 2024 #49

Sanctioning misinformation and even defamation is a rather curious definition of gentlemanly and ladylike behavior. NT Midwestern Democrat Jul 2024 #67

Thing is everything has not been reported yet. pwb Jul 2024 #10

Didn't the deceased get shot through the brain casing? It could be bone!!! GreenWave Jul 2024 #12

Because wanting to believe certain things and make connections with the information one thinks one has is a very human WhiskeyGrinder Jul 2024 #19

Trained? By Movies? ProfessorGAC Jul 2024 #24

Tell that to the SS sniper who took out Crooks within seconds with a head shot Celerity Jul 2024 #62

Riidiculous ProfessorGAC Jul 2024 #66

Not ridiculous at all, and your reply is not germane to mine. My reply was in answer to your own words, nothing more. I Celerity Jul 2024 #68

Is this what the posters claiming the incident was staged were doing? MichMan Jul 2024 #36

In the initial phase, yes. mysitcfairy Jul 2024 #61

There were people here in 2020 that insisted that Trump never had Covid and instead faked it for sympathy Polybius Jul 2024 #46

You're very invested in clearing up the myths that irritate Republicans. Wingus Dingus Jul 2024 #47

Because we have some very determined right-wing trolls intent on spreading disinformation around here. W_HAMILTON Jul 2024 #63

because most of what's posted about Trump and republicans is believable bigtree Jul 2024 #64

human nature, same as real life Kali Jul 2024 #65

Maybe you should alert on such posts--or better take this upstairs? Kingofalldems Jul 2024 #70

I think it comes from general distrust of media Iris Jul 2024 #71
