Inquiring minds want to know.
I blame Mike Tyson
I suspect secret service has to say it was Glass/protective shield did it’s job regardless of the truth, so as not to admit flaw in their security apparatus, whereas trump of course has to claim it was a bullet for obvious coolness factor reasons
No bullets ever came close to the president. We had the situation under control.
It came straight at my head but I dodged it. Tremendous reflexes!
I thought it was shrapnel until I saw this pic. Dude is truly unbelievably fucking lucky https://web.archive.org/web/20240714051956/https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/14/us/politics/photo-path-trump-assassination.html
There are an infinite number of universes where Trump got domed and we live in the only one where the bullet grazed his ear
Looks to me like the path in the image is heading just below his earlobe, so it wasn’t the bullet that hit him in the top of his ear. There’s no way he jerked his head up by more than the height of his ear in the time between it hitting him and the photo being taken.
At most it shows one of the multiple shots was very close to hitting him, if it’s real. So the hit could still be shrapnel/glass from that shot or another
his ear just did that
