In reply to the discussion: there's some question about whether or not it's a bullet [View all]haele
(15,115 posts)47. It's all good. I'm just a bit weary on the "dance around the room" the media is doing with Trump.
They're doing as much as they can to avoid the actual health questions about Trump and pivoting to minor quibbles about what caused his shrapnel wound.
I'm just pointing something out much more concerning they should be talking about - his public appearances have been carefully limited and orchestrated since around the first debate. He had more public and impromptu rallies and appearances besides sitting in a courtroom during his trial just months prior.
Is it just that he's getting tired and cranky, and only momentum and spite are keeping him in the campaign, or did the fraud trial break him and he's fading further into dementia and needs heroic efforts to make him publicly presentable?

Or one of those tiny little razors, like the WWF always used so they could give the audience some blood to look at.

Look at the pictures. There's no blood at all on his right hand and shirt sleeve. Its white as the pure driven snow.

None of which precludes the possibility that the convicted felon was hit by shrapnel.

and there it is: "I don't buy for a minute that that 20-year-old kid was able to do all that alone."

I wasn't agreeing though. I was wishing people would wait for the investigation report

Exactly what difference does it make. Was it less of an assassination attempt if it was only shrapnel?

When I saw the footage of Trump's ear, I thought Hollywood. It didn't look real. I did an internet search:

Please. No. . . . For your suggestion to be true, he would have to know the game in advance

I'm saying I don't know. How small a squib is possible? And does it have to be a squib?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We know what squibs are. For a squib gag to work, you MUST know a gun is about to be fired.

How small a squib is available? And does it have to be a squib that is used? Is there a more modern

Why would he be ready with a squib (or something else) unless he knew the gunshots were coming?

That Trump was injured by shrapnel and another person was killed by a bullet as well as others wounded
