Look like it will be even more of a reason for Trump to remold the FBI to serve him if he wins.

ew, I actually kind of have to agree with Trump. what hit him isn't really important, what's important is that he was almost assassinated and the SS's failure let it happen.

If fat fuck didn't actually lose a piece of his ear then he needs to say so. Yes he was still shot at. But there's a big difference between claiming you're missing a chunk of your ear from a bullet and actually only have a cut from glass.

I think it's pretty important that the FBI have all the facts about an assassination attempt t-b-h.

There's a reason he's still wearing his ear diaper, one would assume.

People that act like his life wasnt in danger if it was merely shrapnel are morons, but the FBI investigating an assassination attempt and reporting on the facts is not that.

The facts of the incident matter.

And the fact is this dude's potentially outright lying about whether he actually got hit by a bullet or not simply because his entire ego right now is being built around the fact he insists it was a bullet.

Wonder why anyone thinks he actually knows what hit him. There was gun fire his ear got hit that's all he knows. Most people would assume bullet.

yeah obviously the facts matter for...what, historical records? the SS director already resigned, the shooter is dead. whatever he got his ear cut by doesn't change the fact that it was an assassination attempt.

even if it gets proven a bullet didn't graze him he'll just switch to talking about how someone tried to shoot him, which will make no difference to the people he's trying to get to vote for him anyway.

Not really in this case, the problem is the security team failed miserably, IDC if that guys shots missed by 10', it is an embarrassment that a novice nearly pulled off an assassination.

But with that said, it would be interesting to know, I wouldn't be surprised if he just got a cut when the Secret Service agents were covering him, and he decided to capitalized on the moment politically by claiming he lost a chunk of his ear...

The facts and details of a shooting are always important. This is a bad take.

Talk about luck of the devil -- to be grazed in the ear by a rifle bullet without losing a big chunk of ear vs. losing the ear (or worse) is probably a difference of less than 1 mm.

It still kinda blows my mind that a graze from a rifle could result in so little damage. I pretty much thought "it's just a graze; you're fine" was purely action movie BS and a graze in real life would still leave a horrific wound.

From the article, the FBI is saying bullet or bullet fragment. So bullet fragment remains the best guess IMO.

you lost that argument, not me.

and I never said they shouldn't know the details, I said the details are less important than the fact that he was almost assasinated. which is true.

I think your reading comprehension needs some work.

it was his ear, so it's not exactly a vital body part. a graze on a limb is much more serious just because of the blood flow.

but even in movies if they just got grazed by a bullet they'd still need stitches or cauterization

To be fair here, the hospital never released their assessment. That's kinda important to an investigation, or excuse me- not as important as surviving an assassination attempt (weird to compare the two).

the hospital is never going to release their assessment, because that's a HIPAA violation. it either has to be released by Trump himself/his lawyers, or by the FBI after a government warranted investigation. and even then it might require a FOIA request

So they only have themselves to blame when an FBI director still has holes unanswered in their investigation.

Trump himself/lawyers. If you're mad that an FBI director still has questions during a hearing maybe being more forthcoming with more confirmation might have avoided that.

you're assuming that the hospital didn't give the information to the FBI. they never released their statement to the public, because they're legally not allowed to.

sure? why would they release his medical records to the public? the FBI investigation is apparently already finished.

once again, it really doesn't matter exactly what he was injured by. the important bit is that someone tried to assassinate him and the SS was so incompetent it almost happened.

and I think it's extremely obvious from everything we know about Trump that he'd argue with the FBI every chance he gets

Right, he has plans for them. I'm not sure at what point they arrived at "it was a bullet" but it was apparent that even the director still had questions and I can only assume that extra confirmation might have helped.

yeah, but they just finished their investigation today. The FBI isn't a 24 hours news station, they'll release their findings after they've actually been proofread and fact checked.

Went to basic with a girl who got grazed from richochet. She refused medical attention because then she'd have to start basic all over. You weren't allowed to miss any days.

I don't see physics working like that. He'd have sustained a lot more damage if a direct shot even grazed him. I don't believe he faked it, but I've always suspected he was hit by flying shrapnel

That being said, he was shot at. I despise the guy but he was absolutely the target of an assassination attempt. Looks petty to say getting hit by shrapnel isn't a big deal
