99. It was a tiny nick on the inner part of the ear.
Thu Jul 25, 2024, 09:00 PM
Jul 2024

As much as head wounds bleed, this was barely wet. Not a huge amount of blood by any measure. And he touched his ear, looked at his hand and then belly-flopped to the stage. The SS took far too long to reach him to have done him any damage.

The dumb fucker was hit by debris. He can claim his purple heart from the Bandaid stash left over from John Kerry's day. That's all it merited, it's all he deserves, if even that.

And yes, if this had been Biden, I would say the same thing. It was no worse than a shaving cut, in the grand scheme of things. But, Joe Biden wouldn't be acting like Trump. He probably would have pressed a gauze to his ear and said to stop worrying about him, he was fine. He's an adult. Trump is a whiny fucking baby.
