Everything about it was pure fantasy. 100% conspiracy bullshit. Cheeto Chimp will literally pull strings from every conceivable angle.
pull strings from every conceivable angel.
A thread from their heavenly robes.
Ha, thanks for the alert.
For anyone who was wondering why Trump refused to release the medical report after the shooting, this is why.
You're telling me Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies wouldn't release a medical report of him getting "shot"? If he had proof he was shot, It'd be on tshirts made in China and plastered all over the place. It'd be on billboards, flyers in the mail, and everywhere you look.
This is the proof that he didn't get shot, he got hit by shrapnel.
But he's usually so honest and forthright
I'm not sure why, but your name sounds violent
It makes sense if it wasn't a bullet. I think most of the bullets went into the crowd so its likely he was never the real target.
Just because the person shooting at you missed doesn't mean you weren't in "real danger". Anyone on the business end of a firearm, wielded intentionally or neglegently, is in real danger. The firearm doesn't become harmless due to lack of skill or intent.
But that's the thing if this is shrapnel and all the real shots hit the elevated bleachers the real risk to trump would probably not be very high. It certainly would suggest this is a mass shooting rather than a targetted assassination.
Yes, he was absolutely in danger. It might not have been as close of a call as Trump would like to brag about however if it was shrapnel of some sort
That's true enough. Probably not gonna convince the "jesus saved trump" crowd otherwise, though 🙄
Shootings. How do they work. Nobody knows.
Complete mystery, total head-scratcher. I’m pretty sure slow cookers are involved.
There should be a service that’s always there in secret so we can know what happens.
Fingers crossed! I have 'shrapnel' on my election bingo card! I just need "Black Hillary" (thanks for that one @[email protected]) and 'JD cries'.
The New York times did a video analysis that pretty convincingly showed it was a bullet. Why Trump is hiding evidence is just bizarre, like the idea of having to support anything he claims - even true things! - is offensive.

Maybe we should ask Putin?
This story could have just gone away, with most people never hearing that maybe he just has a little cut under his big gauze pad and anyone trying to bring it up looking extremely petty. But nope, Trump himself can't just let things pass unanswered.
Trying to milk the pity party as long as he can to try and keep the spotlight off of Harris is all.
Also worth noting: Wray's statements were made in response to questions asked by Jim Jordan.
This isn't something Democrats went looking to dig up. It got stirred up by one of Trump's frothiest allies.
Wait, Santorum isn't in congress though...
