FBI Is Not Fully Convinced Trump Was Struck by a Bullet
“There is some question about whether or not it was a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said Wednesday.
FBI Director Christopher Wray revealed during a marathon testimony on Wednesday that investigators still do not know if former President Donald Trump was grazed by a bullet or a piece of shrapnel during his attempted assassination.
Twice during the hours-long session, Wray told lawmakers that the FBI was still working to determine what exactly struck the former president on his right ear during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. “My understanding is that either it [a bullet] or some shrapnel is what grazed his ear,” Wray told Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA).
You know if this was a Democrat candidate, they’d have to launch 20 new Fox News channels to fit in all the conspiracy theories about how this was fake…why aren’t we treating them the same?
For someone as narcissistic as Trump, the fact there isn’t a 5 hour documentary and 600 media posts detailing his time in hospital, the state of his ear, T-shirts with his X-ray and MRi and ultrasound of his ear, and 3d print of the ear as a collectible wall mount etc is what is actually odd about the whole thing.
He’s making money off of two perfect once in a lifetime photo shots though.
I don't understand why this is news worthy. Like even if they prove it wasn't a bullet, what does this change?
Because he and many lazy outlets are reporting he was definitely shot or hit by a bullet.
This is newsworthy because it’s clarifying a misconception that is going around and is being amplified by the trump team because it makes him seem more “badass” and “hard to kill”.
Aye, it doesn't really feel relevant. He was injured as a result of gunfire.
You are right. It is a sensationalist headline that people will click on (or not click on and use to justify their existing view/conspiracy theory).
Omg they used secret high tech frozen poop projectiles to leave no trace.
He wasn’t shot, he was shat
It left him skidmarked for life
He was shart
Oh boy, please be a shrapnel. 🥹
If we didn't have a picture of a bullet in the air, I'd suspect he had a sharp object in his pocket so he could cut it himself when he grabbed his ear.
This feels like a click baity title. They know he was shot, not some conspiracy of something else.
No, the question is not whether he was shot at, or if he has a wound. The question is was his wound caused by a bullet or glass shrapnel.
or if he has a wound
Are there any actual pictures of the wound? Closest I've seen is an ear with blood on it, but none that show actual tissue damage.
[Tinfoil hat]As performative as the first pump n' shit was, and as utterly devoid of morality as Trump is, I wouldn't be surprised at all if the assassination attempt was some sketchy shit like the gunman being paid to pop a few shots at a couple expendable cultists behind Trump, so that Trump could dive behind the podium where none of the cameras were pointed, pull a packet of red shit from his pocket and smash it onto his ear, then raise into his cheesey fucking first pump stance in the middle of a bunch of panicked security guards. ...and backstab whatever deal was initially made with the gunman by just killing that loose end on the spot.[/Tinfoil hat]
^Theory completely debunked if anyone's got a pic from that event that shows an actual chunk missing from his ear. A few folks have mentioned some of the articles included such pics, but so far I've come up empty - just pics of a 'blood'y ear at the event, and a bandaged ear after.
Yea, but I don't think this is worth an article - it might be illuminative to secret service tactics or inform how campaign stands should be constructed but Trump was injured as a result of a gun shot. The article posing this question was probably completely unnecessary and was absolutely needlessly sensationalized.
Agreed
