Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

They’re probably hoping someone in the audience brings a gun.
I was thinking Kamala. Never know with those idiots though. lol
Side note: Did you happen to see the close ups of Trump’s ear at the ABJ convention? Shit was on FULL DISPLAY and didn’t look shot at all. 🤔
Ask anyone who wears earrings, ears heal fast. (That said, I expect he only had a scratch.)
Not from a bullet wound, they don't.
I still maintain that he got a scratch from a shard of the teleprompter at worst, and has been milking it for all it's worth.
It was reported that it was a 2cm wound. That's not insignificant.
A 2cm graze wound is different from a 2 cm penetrating wound. Even that fact can be misleading.
Because it wasn't. That blood was the spatter from an actual victim behind him. He has been pretending to have been shot, without any actual injury of any kind.
How could the blood have been from the other victim? They were no where near that close to Trump. They would have had to have been on the stage with him lol
Blood spatter can travel quite a long distance. The shooting victim was in the crowd immediately behind Trump at what looks to be about 15-20 feet away. If he was that close, a high velocity projectile could create spatter that could reach the podium.
Apply Occam's razor here. Of course he's milking it for all its worth, but he got hit by something. Bullet graze, shrapnel graze, shattered glass graze, whatever it was it did hit him.
I'm not completely convinced. There is no visible evidence of an injury. There has been no public release of info regarding the specific nature of the injury or the injury's exact size or location. The next day, he appeared in public with a bizarre, fake-looking bandage. And the day after that there was no visible mark at all.
He is world-famous for lying and it is physically possible that it's not his blood. Without some solid evidence, I'm just not convinced he was actually injured. He is absolutely the kind of person who would pretend a real victim's blood is his own if it will bring him some media attention.
I absolutely agree that it is something he would do. I just think the likelihood of him getting hit with blood spatter so perfectly from twenty feet away is quite low. And there seems to be no other blood on the stage area. Nobody else looked bloody that I could see.
Ears bleed a lot from a minor scrape. They also heal very fast. His doctor is a fraud so I do not put any stock in his 2cm wound assessment. This is the same doctor that says Trump was the healthiest person to ever be president while lying about his height and weight.
