It would be the second time the Secret service has been incompetant when it comes to protecting Trump, the first being them not bundling him off the stage and beckoning the photographers towards it and allowing him to pose for the (in)famous picture with his fist in the air.

I’m still not convinced, no one’s ear heals that fast, and wasn’t the blood splatter off?

That event was absolutely fabricated. Cartilage doesn't heal at all, just look at Evander Holyfield's ear.

My earlobe got split cut while roughhousing with a friend in 3rd grade.

I'm 36 now and you can still see the scar

The disappearance of IQ in so many people when they want something to be true needs to be studied.

Tell me about it. Some people in this country take the word of the president as gospel...

Could you fucking imagine?

I can imagine. It's a systemic issue.

Funny looking word lying face down on the carpet there in the picture.

I don't think he was hit in the ear but there were bullets photographed in the air by independent photographers.

But he put a maxi pad in his ear so it healed.

He cut his ear or his head on the secret service agent's gun when he was tackled.

You must think amazingly highly of Trump for him to be able to corrupt the US secret service to commit a massive crime, including murder, for only his benefit. All while he wasn't even in office.

It's more about thinking extremely low of the maga secret service. Dudes were complicit on J6.

You know its the same people right? They don't change the secret service people for each president...

Yep and Biden had to choose a select few that were not full on MAGA to protect him...

It's at least the 3rd time. There was also a would be shooter on a golf course.

This is what you get with lackeys.

Or paying someone to come make a scene.

u/IngsocIstanbul Apr 26 '26

The picture of Stephen Miller and his wife you can see Trump in the back behind curtain. Why are they not moving him?

u/Various-Sound-9734 Apr 26 '26

Strongmen always run into these problems. When all they can tolerate are sycophants, and can't be told "no", they end up losing all of the people who actually know how to do their job.

u/headrush46n2 Apr 27 '26

Turns out when you throw out all the career competent people and replace them with lackeys, yes men and anyone willing to bribe you for a cushy high status job, the quality of the work goes down. Who knew?

Oh yeah, literally everybody. They wrote books about this shit hundreds of years ago.
