Well an actual bullet went past him. I mean whether it hit him or not is entirely a matter of discussion: any bullet of that calibre which hit his ear would have caused far more damage then he received, and would have taken serious time to heal, especially in a 78yr old man.
It's no wonder people are suspicious, especially without any form of medical report.
Trump himself posted this;
“I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin"
This is clearly a lie.
Ronny Jackson wrote this: It just took the top of his ear off, a little bit of the top of his ear off, as it passed through,” Jackson said. “It was bleeding like crazy.”
This is also clearly not true. Nobody can have an ear "pierced" by a bullet, taking a little bit off the top etc and have it invisible in a fortnight. Not a chance.
Someone is telling fibs and based on his history I would be placing my bets on Trump.
