    As much as I dislike the drama queen in chief, he really was hit by a bullet.

    Yahoo UK has a pretty good article with evidence: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/fact-check-hit-bullet-glass-214700870.html

    Simple fact is that the teleprompters weren’t broken when Trump got hit. So there were no glass shards at that point.

    Instead, he was very lightly grazed by a bullet, apparently causing minor damage to the helix of his ear. He was indeed a couple centimeters death here (although technically it’s debatable how much damage a bullet causes to a hollow cranium). I mean, fuck that guy, but let’s not trivialize things that did really happen.

      There’s ample evidence that both teleprompters were unharmed after the shooting. I don’t really care whether or not he was hit by a bullet or some shrapnel, but asserting that it was from the teleprompters just isn’t factual.
