    Sure, but that’s not been seen in pictures. In order to do cartilage damage, it would have had to tear the upper ear lobe. What we have in pictures is blood (ears bleed like crazy due to thin membane and high blood pressure) after the shooting, and then Trump without bandages playing golf.

    I’m not pushing any conspiracy theories here, but if I may just say, that the whole bandage thing at the convention was absolutely bullshit. It’s clear he dodged a bullet, literally, because a person in the crowd was killed. What I’m saying is that Ronny Jackson’s take, and Trump’s photos and behavior after the fact don’t match up.

      Exactly. As usual, Jackson is lying through his teeth. It was a slight graze. He didn’t get part of his ear blown off.

        If his ear got hit with a bullet. It absolutely would have destroyed part of his ear. Literally anyone that owns a gun would know that. It was for sure a piece of glass.

          I was deployed twice, got to see people with grazing wounds. They still needed a lot of stitches due to the kinetic energy of the bullet flying by them.

          I don’t by for one second Trump was grazed.

      I’m glad you’re pushing back. That person didn’t address any of the valid points you’ve raised and I can’t stand when people respond and do that.
