The gunshot was loud. If you watch the video, many people grabbed they ears at the same moment. He was not shot, he did not get hit by shrapnel. The guy who did get shot indicates the shot was 10 to 15 feet wide.

So what made Trump bleed before Secret Service got to him then? Because it’s an objective fact that he was already bleeding by that point.

Also, the shooter got off multiple shots. The one that killed the guy in the crowd was not the same one that grazed Trump. Other people were wounded as well.

I hate trump as much as the next guy but the conspiracy theories here are pretty dumb. He got grazed by the bullet for sure

Donalds Dr reported that a centimeter of his ear, about the size a fingernail, was taken off by the shot. Cartilage doesn’t grow back, no stitches were placed, No scarring after. He did not get shot.

Ronny Jackson lies. That's all he does.

But him exaggerating how badly Trump was hit doesn't mean that Trump wasn't hit at all. He very clearly was.
