    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.
