I have a question …..not suggesting a conspiracy….but I don’t really understand how a bullet from a high powered rifle can graze a persons head and not shear off part of the ear. Also, why did Trumps shoes come off? Anyone know the answers?

You noticed that too? A rifle round just grazing an ear would do visible damage. Cartilage tends to disintegrate when touched by a piece of metal a quarter inch around and traveling at 3,000 feet per second. I’ve zoomed-in on the photo and there’s no damage to his ear. It looks more like a shaving accident. Come to find out, a bullet went through the teleprompter, and glass shards went flying at him. Of course, Trump being Trump, he’ll spend the rest of his life telling everyone that he took a bullet like a big strong hero. But he obviously just got nicked by a piece of glass.

I’m all in for the conspiracy.

I think most reports said it was glass that cut Trump. If his ear was hit by an ak47 bullet he wouldn’t have an ear.

That’s what I think but Trump put out a statement that he heard the bullet whiz by and it pierced his ear

I’m curious about the shoes too. Did he fall out of them?

I am not a "gun guy" but it seems that any projectile can come close to an object and take only a smidgen of it.

Think of basketball shots that hit the rim, and it's the spin that determines which way the ball will travel.

Reading now that others close to Trump were treated for minor injuries from flying debris. I wonder if the first report that Trump was hit by debrief was correct. Still bad but might be the answer.
