    Bullet never touched him. The blood was splatter. He wore a bandage for 2 days for show. When it came off there was not a scratch.

      It grazed his ear, ears apparently bleed a hell of a lot. I knew that from my injuries but that was a good amount of blood from just a little nick. And old people bleed like crazy, thin skin.

      I work at a hospital and have worked with hundreds of patients around his age. When you’re that old, your skin is like paper thin and tears extremely easy. I’ve slid patients from one bed to another and tore skin. Donald Trump was tackled by secret service. Maybe it was his blood but I highly doubt he took a bullet or any shrapnel from glass or anything else.

        Yeah… I’m willing to buy that he had immediate, top grade treatment, I’m willing to accept that the bullet barely grazed him and it bled a lot

        But I’m not willing to believe he healed that fast or that perfectly. There’s no notch from any angle, no scab, nothing - just a few days later there was no sign of it. And he was milking it for all he had… And yet, aside from that blood on the scene, all we ever saw was comically oversized bandages, then normal ones during more serious meetings, then nothing

      Conspiracy theories don’t help. Especially since there was a photo with the bullet mid flight.
