It wasn’t apparent gunshots, it was a full on assasination attempt. The shooter hit his ear, there was blood on his head while SS got him to his car. An inch to the left and you’d all be celebrating.
This will be downplayed by the media, won’t it?
It may have been breaking news and no information was out when it was posted but idk.
And while I wouldn’t have been disappointed, it would’ve also been scary, so no, I won’t be celebrating. This is a horrible event. Trump should lose at the polls fair and square and face his legal debt.
I’ve also heard that the glass from the teleprompter cut him and the bullet didn’t graze him, which would explain the big slashes of blood all over his face.
I mean it could be either at this stage but it wasn’t necessarily as close as that.
EDIT: The downvotes are weird. We literally don’t know exactly what happened and I’m just pointing that out. People are cranky I guess.
Edit 2: I understand enough now to know that it probably did graze him, based on this photo: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/07/14/politics/video/doug-mills-trump-rally-photo-src-digvid
I wouldn’t trust him when he says he was shot, because he’s a liar and even then he could’ve mistaken a piece of debris for a bullet. He wouldn’t know, but that photo does make it seem like he definitely did come very close to buying it. If he was grazed, that also puts paid to the idea it was a false flag. Like, you don’t shoot that close to someone you’re not trying to kill.
Two things about this: firstly if he did indeed move just slightly at the critical moment, it explains why it was such a near miss. Secondly, if the bullet had hit him, that would’ve been a VERY different photo.
