35. Look at the pictures. There's no blood at all on his right hand and shirt sleeve. Its white as the pure driven snow.

He gave two speeches lying about his right hand "covered in blood". I was watching when it happened. My first reaction was he used a razor.

Finally! Delphinus Jul 24 #1
Or one of those tiny little razors, like the WWF always used so they could give the audience some blood to look at. Scrivener7 Jul 24 #2

His face was bloody. Or ketchuppy Bucky Jul 25 #36

I would actually laugh loudly if that were true... Moostache Jul 25 #51
Oh, please. Was the man killed hit by shrapnel too? brush Jul 24 #5
Are you gonna bother to read any further BootinUp Jul 24 #7
Not my version of the truth. A man was killed and others injured by bullets. brush Jul 24 #8
And others were injured by shrapnel. asm128 Jul 24 #9
Are you contending that the man killed was killed by shrapnel? brush Jul 24 #12
There were multiple shots fired by Crooks. Bucky Jul 25 #37
The man killed soandso Jul 24 #13
But that is headed to the lower ear edhopper Jul 24 #17
That is the bullet after it passed his head thatdemguy Jul 25 #53
That makes no sense either edhopper Jul 25 #55
My office? Whose office? WTH are you talking about? brush Jul 24 #26

None of which precludes the possibility that the convicted felon was hit by shrapnel. Scrivener7 Jul 24 #14
Shrapnel or not, he was still shot at. The 20-year-old somehow was able to... brush Jul 24 #16
Yes. There are many questions. Including the question of what hit him. Scrivener7 Jul 24 #19
Absolutely we need to get to the bottom of it. brush Jul 24 #25
No. I doubt that's it. Scrivener7 Jul 24 #27

and there it is: "I don't buy for a minute that that 20-year-old kid was able to do all that alone." BootinUp Jul 24 #24
Thank you. Many questions still unanswered. brush Jul 24 #28
I totally agree. Scrivener7 Jul 24 #30
I wasn't agreeing though. I was wishing people would wait for the investigation report BootinUp Jul 24 #31
It looks like they were intact Meowmee Jul 25 #39
Exactly what difference does it make. Was it less of an assassination attempt if it was only shrapnel? onenote Jul 24 #6
I won't address that issue. Nt BootinUp Jul 24 #10
Maybe it was less of an assassination attempt. Scrivener7 Jul 24 #20
And what exactly was it, pray tell? onenote Jul 24 #22
Pray tell? Scrivener7 Jul 24 #23
I thought pray tell fit well as response to someone named Scrivener onenote Jul 24 #32
It's probably not, but he wouldn't have the same empathy from people. scipan Jul 24 #29
When I saw the footage of Trump's ear, I thought Hollywood. It didn't look real. I did an internet search: SupportSanity Jul 24 #11
Please. No. . . . For your suggestion to be true, he would have to know the game in advance Stinky The Clown Jul 24 #15
In a heartbeat. Scrivener7 Jul 24 #21
Giving the secret away...... SupportSanity Jul 25 #34
Are you saying it is possible (likely?) the whole episode was faked? Stinky The Clown Jul 25 #40
I'm saying I don't know. How small a squib is possible? And does it have to be a squib? SupportSanity Jul 25 #43
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We know what squibs are. For a squib gag to work, you MUST know a gun is about to be fired. Stinky The Clown Jul 25 #50
How small a squib is available? And does it have to be a squib that is used? Is there a more modern SupportSanity Jul 25 #56
Why would he be ready with a squib (or something else) unless he knew the gunshots were coming? Stinky The Clown Jul 25 #58
Sure. SupportSanity Jul 25 #59
So the FBI didn't even get a report on his "injuries"? Autumn Jul 24 #18
It doesn't seem possible that it was a whole bullet at any rate alarimer Jul 25 #41
That Trump was injured by shrapnel and another person was killed by a bullet as well as others wounded elocs Jul 25 #42
EXACTLY! Jilly_in_VA Jul 25 #52
I understand the need to quibble, but it was still an assassination attempt. haele Jul 25 #44
Not my intention. I merely shared an FBI update. BootinUp Jul 25 #45
It's all good. I'm just a bit weary on the "dance around the room" the media is doing with Trump. haele Jul 25 #47
I still think the whole thing can be explained John Farmer Jul 25 #57
I don't see that it matters. Iggo Jul 25 #46
I say shrapnel. mucholderthandirt Jul 25 #48
How much of a miss does it take sarisataka Jul 25 #49
No .223 cal. bullet. republianmushroom Jul 25 #54
