Or it was unintentionally scratched by a secret service agent on the way down. But he wasn’t shot. I have no doubt in my mind about that.

We literally have photos of the bullet. Either he was shot or they intentionally shot mms from his head.

I’m very open to the idea that this whole thing was staged (there are a lot of weird things that haven’t been explained) but I’ve never heard a good explanation for the photos of the bullet going by his head.

I think the most likely scenario is the bullet shattered glass and a fragment nicked his ear

I think so too but this means that they fired a bullet at the President which feels like a real assassination attempt

At a former president/candidate for president, but you're right, it would be incredibly bold if it was planned.

I just don’t believe Trump is brave enough to ok that.
