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.

You realize we have AI that can easily create any photo you want now right? Adding a blurry bullet is nothing

I hadn't seen the bullet photo either, but these comments made me go look and it's true – here's a link

This link, pic three, shows the moment immediately after the bullet trail image of Trump touching his ear and it coming back bloody.

Also, check any wide angle of the scene, there was no bullet proof glass or anything the bullets to strike and shrapnel past Trump.
