    I wouldn’t bet on a fucking Navy SEAL winging a moving target on the ear at 400-500’. Anyone thinking it was staged has two issues: They watched too many action movies and have never shot a rifle.

      They definitely didn’t stage it by actually shooting him. If it was staged, he used a blood pack and was not hit. That would track with his ear recovering so quickly.

        The way the tissue regenerated was miraculous, wasn’t it? No ragged gaps, no scar tissue…

          It’s hard for me to believe that he was hit by a bullet, but the hypothesis that he was hit by glass from the teleprompter seems plausible. Cuts from sharp objects heal a lot more quickly and cleanly.

        So then what, an SS sniper shot crowd members dead just to make it convincing?

        Trump is a vain motherfucker, he would have used makeup to touch up his wound once he was tired of parading around his bandaged ear.
