RN here. The head is very vascular, and even a small cut would bleed profusely. In my experience, surgical glue or a suture would have sufficed. Even a scratch would need to be open to air to heal. That was all staged.

RN here too. Totally agree. His ear, if truly lacerated, would have bleed profusely all down his neck onto his shirt. No blood seen there. And the blood on his right cheek doesn't continue from his ear to his cheek. There's about a 2 inch break with no blood. No one had wiped his face also. Blood just doesn't start running and then take a 2 inch jump and start running again. Also, the color of the blood is too cherry red to be real blood. Could just be the pictures taken, but it should be more fire engine red than cherry red. I'm not a conspiracy believer, but this one doesn't pass the smell test. And his reaction to being shot, if he was? Never, ever saw anyone jump up and wave their fist. The usual body language is one of total terror. No blood on his hands either if he would have touched his ear. He is just the chaos clown. Every single day. Notice how no one is mentioning the Epstein files?

RN here also. Trump may have had matter splattered on him from a victim who was actually shot. At the least, his lack of concern for the man killed and the two other victims demonstrates that he is abnormal and should in no way be responsible for a goldfish, let alone the American people.

How could a gun enthusiast whose whole world was guns, who wore a Demolition Ranch T-shirt miss his target? How was he able to get on top of a nearby roof while visible to some in the crowd? I would say here’s a marksman who knew how to hit what he was aiming at. Was he aiming at the fireman who died, was he the real target? Or was he told to injure a few people to make it look real? Was Crooks like a suicide “bomber” who wanted to be a hero for the cause?

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me an ear. Better yet, lend Trump an ear with a maxi-pad. A performance artist is what he has always been and will always be. Everything about him is a lie whether it is what he says or what he wants us to see. His ridiculous makeup is a part of this as well as his combover which couldn’t hide his bald head when he was put into the car after the shooting.

He really knows how to pick physicians doesn’t he. No one has ever seen anything like it before. Imagine going to a cardiologist with a heart murmur and being told “sir, I have never heard a heart murmur before “. You would get the hell out of that office.

Katy Griffith's avatar

I’m an RN too & when I first saw this I thought it was fake-agree that the blood from the ear should have been running down the right side of his neck instead of the cheek. No one directly behind him or directly on his right side were struck & the fans didn’t look concerned that they may be hit with gunfire-have the press talked to the people directly behind him to see what they saw? I think an AK rifle would have literally shot his ear off instead of just grazing it. We will see-he shouldn’t still be wearing a bandage on old would unless it’s draining & a good surgeon would have closed it easily. If he shows up in a day or so & his ear looks like nothing happened then we’ll know that nothing happened-but the press won’t cover it as usual

Failure to imagine Epstein killed in jail. Dead men tell no tales. Failure to imagine Ivana falling down stairs before testifying in a deposition

https://www.quora.com/Do-you-find-Ivana-Trump-s-death-suspicious

(Not a reputable source, but gets one thinking - again, failure of the press to push for answers)

Failure to ask why Trump's CFO would go to jail repeatedly instead of striking a plea deal. What he knows could boil the ocean, but he keeps silent.

Finally, failure to imagine the assassination attempt as pretext for killing liberals. They went after Whitmer, Pelosi and BLM. Jan 6 was an invitation to overthrow the government. July 13th was an excuse to unleash Trump's SA (precursor to SS) and silence the Libs through violence.

I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but the little that I've read about the impact from assault-weapon ammo -- that it obliterates the area of impact -- make me question the possibility or probability that such a powerful bullet traveling with great force and at high speed could have merely nicked his ear.

In other words, if the bullet was close enough to make contact with his skin, surely it would have done more damage than that -- ?

Have you ever worked in the newsroom of a legit newspaper or magazine? I have.

I spent about 15 years in legit newsrooms. I know how reporters and editors operate. (Reporters cultivate sources, conduct interviews -- on the record, off the record, on background -- and pore over documents. Every word that goes into an article is based on something factual and verifiable.) Every employee in any editorial capacity has access to the computer system, which shows every single change in every article, even the deletion of a one-letter typo, and who made the change and when.

So, yes, I have faith in the *legit* MSM. And I encourage everyone who isn't a GOP or a MAGA or a QAnon or a right-wing radical in any way to ***stop*** engaging in knee-jerk press-bashing, which is inaccurate and -- more to the point -- DANGEROUS. That's what *their* side does in order to generate distrust of the press. Therein lies autocracy.

The legit press isn't perfect. No entity or institution is. But everyone who offhandedly bashes it -- especially without knowing how it operates -- is being a useful idiot for the autocratic right. So please get some facts, and please rethink your approach. Thanks.

You worked in legit newsrooms. Key word is legit. I've watched MSNBC for 16 years until recently. No one is saying they're spewing fake news, what some of the commentators are doing is focusing on Biden's age ad nauseum while glossing over Trump's Epstein files and all his other craziness. It's just not my opinion that Tur and Mitchell have been the worst at this. Check out comments from other social media and those 2 are talked about the most. If I want to listen to Biden bashing and Trump being given a pass, I'll watch FOX instead. From what I read, all the major outlets are owned by Republicans. So really how legit is MSNBC on reporting the news in a fair and unbiased manner? As far as bashing the news industry, I don't have to know how to fly a plane in order to comment on it when the door blows off in mid flight. From other comments you've made in the past about the election, are you sure you're not sitting on the fence about this one with one foot in the MAGA pasture? And why are you always telling the rest of us how to think and feel? You are more than entitled to your opinion about all of this, but that doesn't mean you're going to try and tell me what mine should be. There - got it off my chest what I've wanted to say for a couple of days now.

Problem is those "legit" newsrooms were bought out years ago by Rupert Murdoch, Jeff Bezos, whoever owns the NYT now, etc. I believe the newsrooms you worked in were "legit". I do not believe the media, paper or television is "legit" any longer. Also, if people want to share their disappointment and disgust at how this incident and many others with trump is being reported, well.... a "legit" journalist would allow them to do that with grace. Not tell them to stop. So I'm sorry, but I'm not stopping but thank you for expressing your opinion.

That's how it used to be. But is not the case any longer, case in point "The Washington Post" which was always my go-to paper, has now hired a Murdoch Tabloid man, Will Lewis to run the place. He is presently in court in the UK, for his role in deleting Emails in the phone hacking scandal, and other deeds he performed in his role in the venal UK tabloid arena. When he bought the paper, Bezos had an agreement not to interfere with the running of the newsroom. And he didn't. Under the professional Icon Marty Baron (who helped break the story about the child abuse in the Catholic church in his paper at the time the "Boston Globe".) the paper kept to professional standards and was excellent. Baron retired, and Bezos on the advice of publisher Fred Ryan (the Reagan library keeper) hired Sally Buzbee who turned out to be the queen of both-siderism. Forced birther propaganda was normalized, and not fact-checked, more right-winger "Opinionists" were hired, and worst of all, the started using MAGA-buzzwords in their poorly edited headlines that were so bad, we all complained in the comments and they finally were to changed to something more accurate. Lewis hired another tabloid crony to along with a second crony to replace the "Both sides" Buzbee and the team absolutely revolted He also pressured the paper not to cover his dirty deeds abroad. She resisted and he fired her.

I understand defending your profession, but it's like the so-called reporters don't know their history, or anything about their story and publish every event as if it happens in a vacuum, medical misinformation abounds for instance:

there is no heart at six weeks, you need heartvalves to have a heartbeat, and those form much later, what they hear is primitive electrical impulses that can be duplicated in a petrie dish.

When you act as stenographer for the far right without fact checking the lies, you ARE part of the problem.

Susan Jane's avatar

Here is what I perceive. Photos of the shattered teleprompter show that it was only the upper corner. It could easily have been a fine shard or grain of glass that went flying and hit his ear. He winced and held his ear as though he had just been stung by a wasp, not shot by a bullet. A bullet from the weapon used, whizzing that close to his head, would have knocked him down and torn off his ear if not half of his face! He was more concerned about photo ops and losing his shoes. Perhaps the reason his heavy leather shoes flew off his feet was because of the lift inserts. His heels (and bone spurs!) are positioned so high in his shoes that his shoes are in danger of falling off. That is probably why he has difficulty with stairs and declines. I saw a picture of a shoe and a lift insert lying in the grass alongside the platform. I don't know if it was genuine—did anyone else see it? His chief concern was about his shoes and he did not ask if anyone was hurt!

Fellow healthcare worker here (trauma/open heart/vascular surgery). Totally agree that the color of that "blood" was the first thing that jumped out at me. A weird washed-out watery color, and not much of whatever liquid that was, either.

I don't doubt that he was shot **at** (as others were actually killed or seriously wounded), that it was an attempted assassination.....but whether what we saw was an actual bullet wound is highly questionable.

Also, the crowd reaction seemed off. If I heard a gunshot, and someone nearby had actually been shot and wounded, I sure as hell wouldn't still be sitting in my seat, looking around like I was a spectator at a play. No one ran or ducked or cowered or hit the deck. It just all seemed "off."

With respect, Adam Schiff and others like him aren't "being fooled by the media." They're aware of and concerned about polls showing that most voters think Biden -- whom many considered too old and too frail even before the debate -- should go.

It stinks that the electorate is so ill-informed. It stinks that Biden hasn't gotten the credit he deserves for his spectacular admin. It stinks that even though he's only 3 years older than djt he seemed about 10 years older. All of this stinks. That said, it's important for us -- the rational people, the non-GOPs, the non-MAGAs --to be accurate, including when we criticize Dems who raise concerns. Thanks.

It isn’t only Schiff. I was initially on the Biden train but seeing him on tv made me change my mind. And the people who are speaking out are growing. They see him regularly and like most 81 year olds, he probably has really good days and some not so good days. The problem is he is the President of the United States and he has to have good days every single minute of every single day. It isn’t fair but it is the truth, especially when there is an authoritarian waiting to take over the country. These people know way more on the inside of what is going on than we Joe public and I am trusting that this Covid bout may be the thing that is the excuse for him to leave. The Dems have got some other people already waiting and ready to go. Its a gamble no matter what when there are so many idiots in the USA backing a rapist criminal, but someone has got to lead and make a decision damn quick and I think the decision has been made. I think Joe is going and god bless him for what

He has accomplished and to all gods and goddesses that may exist, please make the decision to have him step aside be the right one. I will vote for anyone that runs agains the pigs in the opposite party, but I don’t think anymore

So lemme get this straight... a .223/5.56 round typically used in an AR15 has a muzzle velocity of AT LEAST 3,200 feet per second, i.e. well and truly supersonic, and after 400 it's barely any slower. If you hear one go by you, you can't miss it.

And yet somehow the battery boat captain only got a scratch on the tip of his ear? Seems like a JFK-esque magic bullet. Even after his supersonic scratch, and the SS yelling at him to "get down" he got down s-l-o-w-l-y. Maybe he's got arthritis as well as a case of the stoopids?

We'll probably never know, but he's either the luckiest mofo or he got a bit of shrapnel from the teleprompter. Yeah, ears bleed. Yeah, he shouldn't have been shot, even though he's an evil fucker, but this is just more trump bullshit milking an owie and turning it into a near mortal wound.
