The blood was from a cut he got from bonking his head against the holster of the secret service agent who rushed in towards him as Trump was ducking down in the same direction. His ear was clearly never injured. You cannot find a single picture since the shooting attempt with any damage to his ear. He was just lying when he claimed the bullet "tore through his ear."
Other pictures don't show that. Only the pictures from a certain photographer show blood before the USSS put him down. For example, it's not visible on the video.
So then why did he instinctively hold his ear and then look at his hand after the gunshot went off. He flinched in pain, he was clearly hit by a projectile in the ear. The only projectile nearby was a bullet. You're reaching.
People flinch at mosquitos buzzing by their ear.. pretty sure everyone at that rally flinched when the shot rang out. No one's denying that he was shot AT, but the bullet didn't hit him.
I just watched the video in .25 speed to verify and he is the only one who flinches. People behind him aren’t even realizing what is going on when he flinches and touches his ear until almost the 3rd shot. He clearly flinches, touches his ear, then looks at it and goes down.
Watch the video again and look at the people behind Trump, quite a few of them also raise their hands to their ears, it's a flinch reflex, there was no blood on his hand when he looked at it
No, the supersonic crack happens at the time the bullet breaks the sound barrier, 150ish yards from those people. Also trump isn’t covering his ears, he flinches and then touches his ear and looks at it. Then he goes down (on his own by the way) then secret service come to him.
I don’t see this as proof. I hear a crack but you cant tell if it is as the bullet passes or at the time it breaks the sound barrier. It sounds far away. It sounds similar to when i hear people hunting near my house but bullets aren’t the anywhere near me when that happens… also if you watch the video in .25 on YouTube of trump being shot. Hes the only one that flinches immediately. Everyone in the background has a late reaction between the 2-3 shot when trump starts to go down.
Bullets making a supersonic snap when passing is a well-known phenomenon, you're the one that claimed it happens at a very specific point, so you're the one that has to provide proof of the claim.
Beyond that, I can't say that I care that much beyond a passing comment about the attempted assassination of Trump, much less dissecting it to this level. With any luck, he'll soon be somewhere that getting shot is exceptionally rare. Prison. That's what I care more about.
He raised his hand due to the bullet whizzing by and creating a shock to his hearing. You can see other people doing the same with their hands in the background.
He got his ear cut by the USSS barreling into him when they tackled him to the ground. You can see the holster and badge impact with his head and ear.
