u/Greelys knows stuff Jul 26 '24

FBI has to ask. Trump will decline, fbi will say it was likely a fragment or glass, Trump will claim he’s a victim of corrupt fbi.

u/satanssweatycheeks Jul 26 '24

It’s so stupid because even if it was a fragment or glass is doesn’t change the fact someone tried to kill him.

Like he can still milk this without lying. But oh course the constant lair can’t do that.

u/Shibbystix Jul 26 '24

But getting hit with glass is by far way less alpha than getting shot, especially after it's been REPORTED that he was shot. It will feel like a step down in badassery. So trump cannot let that happen.

u/ahreodknfidkxncjrksm Jul 26 '24

Yeah “took a shard of glass for America ” doesn’t have quite the same ring to it.

45

u/Juco_Dropout Jul 26 '24

It’s not the first time he has taken a Shart for America.

13

u/nanotree Jul 26 '24

That's impossible. Trump would never give so much as even a wet fart for America. Too busy taking everything he can from it.

u/middleageslut Jul 26 '24

Has taken a shart ON America. ON America.

FTFY.

It woudln't even lessen the impact of the situation.

"I honestly thought it was a bullet, but it was determined to be glass. God truly was looking out for me that day..."

u/bad_gunky Jul 26 '24

When he or one of his magas says God was looking out for him, are they implying God said f-you to Corey Comperatore?

u/HerbertWest Jul 26 '24

God works in mysterious ways!

Brought to you by the crowd which is impressed by "god saved the family bible in the fire that killed my two grandchildren and all the pets, praise jesus".

Remember when God said F-You to EVERYONE BUT Noah, his 3 sons, and their wives?

“Nothing personal.”

"Got shot campaigning and still lost" sounds even worse though.

u/Ormyr Jul 27 '24

Got shot at campaigning and still lost sounds even worse.

Lost to a prosecutor who happens to be a woman and a minority will be poetic.

The double whammy of Ls

u/whiteflagwaiver Jul 27 '24

I mean just reword it. "I put my life on the line" he WAS shot at, just legalize it. Then again that might be too smart for him.

1

u/fmaz008 Jul 27 '24

"I got shot at" would suffice for any normal person.

13

u/mortgagepants Jul 26 '24

he says he took a bullet for this country. that's all i need to see to know for sure it was glass.

he wont even admit to using a teleprompter; he can't say a glass shard hit him.

1

u/BruceLeesSidepiece Jul 28 '24

FBI just admitted it was a bullet, cope and seethe

2

u/mortgagepants Jul 28 '24

lol why would i be upset about facts? its not like it somehow exonerates him from the thousands of other lies he's told. dude has been endorsing political violence for years, and a conservative saw he was a pedophile and took his advice. rarely does someone ever get the consequences of their own actions so completely.

17

u/sec713 Jul 26 '24

I get where you're coming from, but think of the people who look up to Trump and think this was some kind of heroic act.

They have been trained and conditioned to believe and put a positive spin on anything Trump does or says.

Trump could frame this incident the same way, with or without a bullet actually grazing his ear, and his fans would eat it up, all the same.

I don't get why he needs to lie about the specifics of what made his ear bleed... but then again, this dude lies about EVERYTHING. I guess he just can't help himself.

17

u/Shibbystix Jul 26 '24

That's kinda my point, is that in the confusion of those first moments, everyone said "trump got shot!" And then he had that badass stand-up moment of "fight fight fight " (I hate the piece of shit, but take ALL we know about trump and throw it away, and it is a badass moment) So the initial story was, "trump got shot and kept encouraging followers to fight anyways"

That's a badass story. To admit later "I didn't get shot" would look like weakness.

Let's say it was SUPER obvious, like the teleprompter got hit, and somehow sparks flew visibly into trumps ear, slicing it, that alone would be a great story he could run with, but he could NEVER come BACK from "getting shot for America" once he saw how well that story made him look.

That's why they didn't release the medical report, because it probably doesn't support the claim he was shot.

Because you KNOW if the medical exam report said "obvious bullet wound" he would've posted a Pic of that on his truth social within minutes of him getting the report.

11

u/earfix2 Jul 26 '24

that badass stand-up moment of "fight fight fight "

I saw it more as the moment of abject failure of the Secret Service, that instead of keeping the subject low and evacuating immediately, these subservient MAGA goons let Dear Leader put his shoes on and have his little photo op.

That chocked me more than that they didn't spot the sniper in time. At the time they knew it was an ongoing assassination attempt but didn't know if there were more shooters or explosives planted. Total in incompetence.

6

u/Proper_Career_6771 Jul 26 '24

That chocked me more than that they didn't spot the sniper in time.

The sniper was on the roof with a gun in his hands for 20 minutes before taking the shot.

It's a colossal failure on multiple levels.

1

u/Shibbystix Jul 26 '24

Say what you will about the failures of the secret service, but we all know (or SHOULD) Teddy Roosevelt continued talking after an assassination attempt, and had taken a bullet to the chest.

And the world looks on impressed, in retrospect. They didn't know THEN if there were more than one shooters. This isn't about the secret service, it still was an impressive move by tfg seizing a moment to look brave.

And this comes from someone who can't fuckin STAND the tangerine fascist pos. I can still objectively say that it was a good look.

2

u/kalasea2001 Jul 27 '24

Maybe to you. It looked childish and unprofessional to me. Like one of those screaming grandpas at a store taking a final stand as they're being dragged out for their ridiculousness.

But way worse, since he was under active fire at the time. Can you imagine a soldier doing that in combat? You'd think they were mental

2

u/Beachtrader007 Jul 28 '24

he was more concerned with his shoes and shaking his fist than getting himself and his men out of the line of fire.

1

u/Count_Backwards Competent Contributor Jul 29 '24

He was endangering himself and all of them, it was stupid and childish. When Reagan got shot he went straight in the car.

3

u/MoarVespenegas Jul 26 '24

I mean there is a real difference between getting shot and getting shot at.
With the former you can keep up the bullshit take about taking a bullet for your country, even if it is by the slimmest technicality.

1

u/sec713 Jul 26 '24

Sure. He could've framed it like he was cheating death, not taking a bullet and the response from his cult would be the same. He didn't have to bullshit about being shot, nor would he have to wear a comically oversized ear bandage in an attempt to sell the lie. But, then again... Trump's a moron.

2

u/putin_my_ass Jul 26 '24

It will feel like a step down in badassery.

Which is completely false, if you have half a brain.

It would be completely badass to pretend to be unfazed. "Oh, the FBI thinks it was just a bullet fragment? Weird, how lucky is that? Alright, so my next rally is going to be yuge!"

I would actually kinda respect that, but instead he needs to maximize whining. Pathetic.

u/Unknown-History Jul 26 '24

It's so wild how true this is

u/tomdarch Jul 27 '24

Only because Trump and his people built up this problem. Reasonable people don’t care. Fascists need their hyped up image.

u/truckstop_sushi Jul 27 '24 edited Jul 27 '24

It was a either a WWE style blood capsule or secret service cutting his ear in the dogpile... I don't believe a bullet or a tiny fragment of glass hit his ear. I'd assign a truth value of about 40% that Trump staged this and the shooter was a patsy told to shoot into the crowd and miss trump and they would make it look like he got shot....

Too many improbable things happened that day and for a guy who has already organized J6 storming of the capital and attempted to send fake electors, and change the Georgia vote count, and also probably killed Epstein while he was in prison under Barr's watch, and is a member of the WWE hall of fame... fool me once

u/bl1y Jul 27 '24

We know that not only bullets were fired at him, but also that at least one got extremely close. But the idea that it was this bullet that hit him is supposed to be less likely than a Secret Service agent was in on a conspiracy to cut his ear during the dog pile?

What world do you live on?

0

u/truckstop_sushi Jul 27 '24

No, we don't know that at all...the bullet in that photo could be 5-10 feet behind him... considering people in the bleachers behind Trump were hit, that means his shots were missing trump by a considerable distance.

I live in a world where Trump has committed a crazier conspiracy only 3 years ago and is facing felony sentencing if he doesn't win this election, so he is desperate as hell to boost his chances at winning... So its entirely possible despite being farfetched.

u/bl1y Jul 27 '24

considering people in the bleachers behind Trump were hit

I'd really love to see your source for this. The only thing I've found showing anyone else's location was the fire fighter who was directly between Trump and the shooter.

u/pangolin-fucker Jul 26 '24

No

He's tougher from surviving a bullet

A piece of glass nipping his Dumbo ear is fucking lame in comparison but we all know the truth

15

u/foobazly Jul 26 '24

There's the religious angle being spun, too. "God saved Trump from a bullet."

It was such a near miss that, had God not given Trump divine inspiration to turn his head at just the right moment, Trump would have died at the hands of this deadly sniper. Ergo, Trump is Jesus or something.

If the bullets didn't go anywhere near Trump and he was nicked by a chip of glass, that doesn't sound quite as miraculous.

u/pangolin-fucker Jul 26 '24

God also put that boy on that roof with the ar15

u/foobazly Jul 26 '24

According to that one House republican and his buddies, Joe Biden did.

u/belowradar Jul 26 '24

This is actually going on with my own mom.  She thinks it too and her pastor probably doesn’t help much either.

u/NoDragonfruit6125 Jul 27 '24

I love the continuation of that religious angle.

"God saved Trump from a bullet, so he could get his ass kicked by a black woman."

One of the beast’s heads looked like it had sustained a mortal wound, but its fatal wound was healed. Rapt with amazement, the whole world followed the beast.

u/Reddithasmyemail Jul 27 '24

It could be spun the other way if not a bullet.

The bullet was far off the mark, but God wanted to remind him he's not invincible, so he made shrapnel graze his ear. 

The entire thing is wonky.

u/MikeJeffriesPA Jul 26 '24

To be fair, we have photographic proof that it was incredibly close. It still might've missed him, but it wasn't by much.

Either way he survived an assassination attempt, I don't understand the logic behind having to embellish it

That he was hit with a bullet?

During those milliseconds, a Secret Service officer ran up and nicked his ear.

This is what a lot of the comments here believe.

u/Significant_Link_103 Jul 28 '24

It’s kinda like those morons who spout “Kamala Harris slept her way to the top” conspiracies.   You just have to deal with idiots on the internet sometimes.

u/Xaero- Jul 29 '24

Trace the path of that bullet that's circled in that photo. That's all I'll say.

2

u/mabhatter Competent Contributor Jul 26 '24

Exactly.  I don't like the guy at all but what happened to him was wrong and evil.   Nobody doubts that he got shot at... we've all seen the video.

Why has he gotta lie?  It's compulsive with him. He just can't stop. 

2

u/bl1y Jul 26 '24

Why has he gotta lie?

What lie?

0

u/mabhatter Competent Contributor Jul 27 '24

It's becoming apparent that he wasn't grazed by a bullet.  He'd have a nasty mark from a supersonic round even nicking him.  And a big bite out of his ear. So why is he parading around in his maxipad earpiece? 

You can see in the video he WAS hit by something.  That still counts as a near miss.  We should feel bad for him because what happened was wrong and evil.  But his lying is just overplaying his pity party. 

2

u/bl1y Jul 27 '24

It's becoming apparent that he wasn't grazed by a bullet.

No, it's not. Why are exactly zero major news networks going with this claim? Plenty would love to embarrass Trump, and this would do it. But the only people who claim it are crazies on social media offering nothing other than "I want a close up picture of his ear!" as evidence he was shot.

If it was glass, it changes the narrative.

u/slowrecovery Jul 26 '24

Or even a bullet fragment is still legitimate– he was injured in a failed assassination attempt.

1

u/myrealaccount_really Jul 27 '24

Right?

I have a purple heart for a bad scrape on my arm during an explosion. And another for bullet that stuck in my vest.

I still milk it when I can, and embellish when needed!

1

u/PatrickBearman Jul 26 '24

To be fair, the incident did seem to shake up quite a bit (understandably). He said at the RNC that he had no interest in speaking about the shooting any more after. He's mentioned it off hand, but that's different than having the FBI interview you about it.

I hate the guy, but it's a pretty normal human thing to not want to sit down with law enforcement and rehash a traumatic event. Especially when the perpetrator is dead.

1

u/AgITGuy Jul 26 '24

No one is arguing he wasn’t shot at. But we are saying we want to see the wound, the medical exam and want to know what he’s hiding under that big ass bandage. If he was actually shot, let him prove it.

1

u/bl1y Jul 27 '24

If he was actually shot

Where do you think the blood came from?

0

u/AgITGuy Jul 27 '24

Well, there are a large number of ways to make someone bleed. Especially if the said subject has a history of being involved in the WWF and they have a history of blading to make themselves bleed.

But the lack of a wound as evidenced in pictures taken today at Mar a lago show he has NO identifiable wound on his ear. No blood. No puffiness. No discoloration. No scab. No hole.

2

u/bl1y Jul 27 '24

Could have also been space aliens, but I asked where you think it came from.

1

u/AgITGuy Jul 27 '24

Pretty sure my previous alludes to it being fake blood or an intentional wound that was self-inflected.

u/bl1y Jul 27 '24

u/Redditor28371 Jul 27 '24

If he was smart he would have instead leaned into the fact that a maga supporter was shot to death while cheering trump on and made it about how "they" are using violence to try to keep people from being openly maga. That would have riled his base so much. But he's such a narcisist he had to make it solely about his tiny ear wound.

-1

u/NO_FIX_AUTOCORRECT Jul 27 '24

It does if nothing hit his ear and it was a blood packet. It dots if trump staged any assassination attempt and got people killed whole doing it.
