As long as he's stating his theories, someone should bring up Melania and her supposed relationship with the Secret Service. I think unsubstantiated theories are valid in a world where "people are saying" is treated like fact.
People are saying he cut his own ear WWE style
Many people are saying that
The best people.
More and more
The ear healed miraculously. I doubt he even cut it. Most likely a blood packet in his hand. When he put his hand up to his ear, he popped it.
Ear wounds bleed spectacularly. They are also quite easy to fix cleanly, with appropriate care. A small wound would create plenty of blood, but be effectively invisible after a bit of work from a plastic surgeon.
Let's face it, which is more likely? A shooter just missed, or Trump had the coordination to play act, without it looking like a 5 year old's "my first magic act", and then not brag about it?
He did brag about it. He literally put himself in harms way again within seconds with absurd fist pumping and yelling "Fight! Fight! Fight!" He wore a giant fucking diaper on his ear throughout the whole RNC.
Sorry this bitch is close friends with Vince McMahon and the farther we get away from the event the more weird shit that comes out about it, the more reason I have to be fucking skeptical of a guy whose entire fucking life is kayfabe.
I had a tiny fucking zit on my ear and it took a fucking month to heal properly.
this actually isn't true, the shooter was confirmed down by this point, and presumably he knew about it. Also within seconds is complete bullshit, it's more like a minute, this stems from edited videos that republicans pretend aren't edited.
But let's be real, trump would've done this regardless of the danger for the photo OP, dudes a fucking narc.
More like a piece of glass or some flying debris. Any kind of wound from a bullet traveling 2,900 FPS would exhibit some sort of hydro-static shock damage.
“There was ketchup dripping down his ear…”
—Cassidy Hutchinson
Tbh I'm not sure he has the dexterity to do even that.
the ear is incredibly fragile tissue, and can bleed quite profusely, i'm guessing he was just barely grazed.
I've also seen theories that he's probably on blood thinners due to age, which would also make sense.
I saw the tiny razorblade in his tiny hand
Well he is a WWE Hall of famer
