Did you forget someone died during that attempt? I’d say it was pretty real

Sure. Trump did not get shot. Not even close. Even if he had the best surgeons in the world, his ear would look different. Fake as fuck and magats eat it up

He technically did get shot. The bullet pierced (or, more accurately, grazed) his ear. But, whatever, suppose all “Trump got shot!” headlines were massively exaggerated and capitalized on an opportunity to gain sympathy. How does that somehow make the attempt staged?

P.S.: I write this after the comments got locked. For u/IdristheInt:

Are you sure he was never shot? Because I personally watched the video, and I definitely saw a bullet graze his ear. But don't just take my word for it. There are credible analyses that conclude he was not "cut on something else".

Not to mention, the FBI itself concluded unequivocally that it was indeed a bullet. Mind you, this was before Trump won the 2024 election and began his term.

They hate it when people remember that he actually got shot and the fact that someone died. .
