In reply to the discussion: If Trump was hit by a bullet of that caliber? [View all]mucholderthandirt
(1,787 posts)99. It was a tiny nick on the inner part of the ear.
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.

My mom would have smeared some Mercurochrome on it. Maybe covered it with a band aid.

No, it would put a small hole through his ear, much like we saw. Bullets need a few inches to expand.

I think I've posted the same comments 5-6 times since the event - but we'll keep speculating.

Sure it is a factor, but the point is that a head does not automatically explode the way people are claiming

Your misinformation is based on photos of head on shots that explode apples and watermelons.

Technically you are correct that you ridiculed. But you did reference exploding solid bodies, which is ridiculous. nt

Nicked by a bullet or glass just doesn't make any difference to me. He was shot at. I wasn't voting for him before,
