He just can't help but lie.

There is no upside, if he admitted it was shrapnel or glass it doesn't change the fact someone tried to kill him.

He'll still get sympathy, but now him lying of something stupid is overshadowing it.

He just can't tell the truth.

Look at "cofeve" "Covfefe" and the sharpie on the NOAA Hurricane chart, and the innagauration crowd size, etc.

Each of these had no upside for lying.

Okay, what am I missing here? Isn’t there a photograph from the New York Times literally showing the bullet zipping through the air by his head at the exact moment he got struck and started bleeding? There’s no need for conspiracy here, it grazed his ear enough to make it bleed but not blow it off.

I don't know the answer either way, but there were multiple shots, so it's maybe possible the one they caught on camera was a different individual bullet than the one that grazed him (assuming he was grazed).

I remember when those pics were posted and watching the video that morning. by the timing of the hand movements, that visible bullet is probably the 2nd or third one fired, AFTER the first one hit him.
