    I’ve also heard that the glass from the teleprompter cut him and the bullet didn’t graze him, which would explain the big slashes of blood all over his face.

    I mean it could be either at this stage but it wasn’t necessarily as close as that.

    EDIT: The downvotes are weird. We literally don’t know exactly what happened and I’m just pointing that out. People are cranky I guess.

    Edit 2: I understand enough now to know that it probably did graze him, based on this photo: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/07/14/politics/video/doug-mills-trump-rally-photo-src-digvid

    I wouldn’t trust him when he says he was shot, because he’s a liar and even then he could’ve mistaken a piece of debris for a bullet. He wouldn’t know, but that photo does make it seem like he definitely did come very close to buying it. If he was grazed, that also puts paid to the idea it was a false flag. Like, you don’t shoot that close to someone you’re not trying to kill.

    Two things about this: firstly if he did indeed move just slightly at the critical moment, it explains why it was such a near miss. Secondly, if the bullet had hit him, that would’ve been a VERY different photo.
