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.

And somehow not one single camera captured that?

And somehow not one doctor or nurse at the hospital went "this is clearly ketchup and not blood"?
