Brent Molnar: With a few opinions about Trump's alleged assassination attempts

[usaf-vet]

46. I was a military medic. I worked in the operating room as a scrub tech. I scrub for an otolaryngologist.

An otolaryngologist, often called an ENT doctor, is a medical specialist trained in diagnosing and treating diseases and conditions of the ear, nose, and throat, as well as related structures in the head and neck. They can also perform surgical procedures in these areas.

I have scrubbed on ear trauma repairs and ear plastic surgery. And I have never believed that Djt was ever shot in the ear and that the "wound" healed that fast, without leaving scarring.

A squib is a small explosive device used to simulate bullet hits. When combined with a blood pack (a pouch filled with fake blood), it creates the effect of a gunshot wound.

I think it was a squib, in combination with a fake blood packet, well-staged, and I doubt any U.S. Secret Service agent would let a wounded president stand up and raise his fist.

Breakaway Blood Pac: A pre-burst version used in low-impact scenes—no pyrotechnics, just pressure or pulling on a cord.
Blood Pac: A sealed bag of fake blood, usually hidden under an actor's costume. It bursts or leaks when triggered.
