    FBI Chief Wray was very careful saying that “Bullet or Shrapnel that Hit Trump’s Ear”, leaving things ambiguous. It set off some discussion online last week, with people wondering why he didn’t just say “The bullet that hit Trump’s Ear”.

    I guess FBI Chief knew something was up already and was already hedging his bets. Well, I’d expect intelligence to… well… know things before everyone else.


    Obviously Trump was bleeding from his ear. Something absolutely hit it. But if its healed this well by now, it probably wasn’t an AR-15 round.

    Very interesting. I don’t think Trump can just leave that thing bandaged up for the next few months, everyone knows he’s gotta take the bandage off permanently eventually. The truth will come out.

        The footage has Trump grab his ear midspeech, look around and get down immediately.

        Something hit Trump’s ear. Its so weird that the Trump team thought it’d be best to pretend it was a bullet this whole time, surely they would have seen the wound and would have known?

        Any doctor who saw the ear afterwards would have been able to say Bullet vs Glass vs whatever based on what they saw. If this whole “bullet to the ear” thing ends up being a massive lie created by Trump’s team, that speaks poorly of this upcomming election. Especially if it becomes representative of Trump’s lying and how much he makes his followers look like a fool.

        If it ends up to be a true bullet-to-the-ear scenario, then whatever. Kamala looks like she was on her way to gaining momentum for the near future anyway and she has much better chances than I ever expected. (She’s not winning in the polls yet, but her energy is palpable. I can believe that she can turn this around between now and November, even without relying upon this weird ear thing going on…)

          That’s the point I started to wonder: He grabs his ear, lowers his hand, and there’s nothing on it. Not even a tiny bit of blood on his tiny little hand.

          I’ve never been allegedly hit in the ear, but most head wounds bleed immediately, and profusely.

          Still, in this post do we know we’re looking at the right side of his big fat head? Photos are easily mirrored.

            In the moments after a traumatic wound the blood vessels will momentarily contract before releasing again. I’ve cut myself before and had it take a few moments before it starts bleeding. Not saying this isn’t really sus, just that the specific thing you mentioned isn’t a (pardon the pun) smoking gun.

              Yeah I give myself intramuscular injections and finding the hole takes a second because it doesn’t bleed immediately

            Photos are easily mirrored but Trump’s hairstyle is reliably Trump’s right to Trump’s left. So this alleged photograph is definitely of Trump’s right ear.

            With the AP seeming to withdraw this photograph, there’s some controversy at play here. But AP is a well respected news brand. Surely they’d write about a story if they found something here.

          Lol you know it was a lie by felon trump’s team. All they do is lie constantly. It would’ve been handled by them very differently if he had actually been hit by the bullet.
