I’m seeing a bunch of posts insinuating that this most recent assassination attempt was fake. Why do people think this? I’m out of the loop.

      I think the idea is that the bullet never got anywhere close to him. The little nick on his ear was probably just from him getting wrestled to the ground by his bodyguards.

        There was no nick. 3 days later there’s not a single mark. I’m thinking the sharpie washed off.

        Didnt the stray bullet kill some people directly behind him?

        All those bullets in the people behind him just showed up, too?

        “JFK’s head just did that” level of conspiracy ‘thinking’

        There is a photo of a bullet flying right past him, a reporter witnessed a piece of his ear come off, and the paths traced into the victims who unfortunately were hit, do show that the bullets went near Trump

          Human parts don’t grow back that quick. Or ever, for most of them.
