FBI Director Christopher Wray revealed during a marathon testimony on Wednesday that investigators still do not know if former President Donald Trump was grazed by a bullet or a piece of shrapnel during his attempted assassination.
There’s no way a bullet “grazes” an ear and it’s not obvious… He’d be legitimately missing cartilage, he was seen golfing days later without even a bandaid on it
I don’t think at any point any source has said he was shot.
Just that he was shot at, and came up with a bleeding ear.
Not saying he cut it himself, just that it probably got scratched at some point.
Due to Trump’s age and, well, just everything about him, he’s most likely on blood thinners. Which would make even a tiny scratch bleed like a motherfucker. It makes you bleed fast and takes forever to clot. A normal nick that barely bleeds normally would look like a murder scene
Add in the adrenaline and it’s really going to pump out.
The most logical explanation is (and always has been) a SS agent accidentally scratched his ear while he kept trying to stand up.
Beyond physical injury, Trump’s description of the event – along with Wray saying the FBI is unsure – really makes me lean toward it not being a direct wound.
Trump said he heard bullets “whizzing” by. A supersonic bullet directly next to your ear isn’t going to make a whizzing sound like on TV; there’s going to be a loud, distinct crack from the sonic boom as it passes by.
I fully believe Trump would be leaning into that hard if that’s what he’d heard. “It was like thunder next to my head. The loudest thunder. The greatest thunder you’ve ever heard. HUEG thunder.” It’s exactly the kind of thing he loves to play up.

The sonic boom of a bullet is the second half of the sound we call “a gunshot”.
When you hear a gunshot, you heard a sonic boom.
I mean, the biggest reason is if he had an actual wound he’d be shoving it into every camera within a golf cart ride of him.
It would be all over the place. The only reason trump would cover it up, is if there was nothing there.
There’s blood on his hand right after he touches his ear, before he even ducks down

Who was he attempting to assassinate?
One conspiracy is that he was paid off to shoot up the rally and Trump would cut his ear WWE style to garner sympathy.
Edit: I do not believe in this theory btw
Emphasis: conspiracy theory.
Or that he hit his ear when the Secret Service tackled him.
Yeah, what if this whole thing was actually to kill Corey Comperatore.
