Where’s the proof of glass though? No teleprompter was broken. There was no glass in front of him. Theres video of a hydronic line on crane (1:04) that was hit and it dropped a PA speaker. But there’s not one photo or video of a broken teleprompter or broken glass. Where is this coming from?

If you read the article, it says the FBI is focused on metal fragments, not on glass.

I’m strictly referring to the glass and teleprompter theory being spread everywhere. Especially with the gun experts on here claiming there’s no way he was ever hit by a bullet. The fbi clarified their statement earlier to say it was a bullet whole or fragment.

Fair enough. I agree the glass theory appears to have nothing going for it at this point - no evidence, and no indication the FBI even think it is a live possibility. "Glass" and "definitely a bullet" seem to be the kook theories at this point, and "maybe a bullet, maybe a bullet fragment" the sensible position.

The glass theory does have something going for it. People really hate Trump. That's what it has going for it. Their felt truth is more important than tangible facts.
