FBI Director Christopher Wray revealed during a marathon testimony on Wednesday that investigators still do not know if former President Donald Trump was grazed by a bullet or a piece of shrapnel during his attempted assassination.
Twice during the hours-long session, Wray told lawmakers that the FBI was still working to determine what exactly struck the former president on his right ear during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. “My understanding is that either it [a bullet] or some shrapnel is what grazed his ear,” Wray told Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA).
If we didn’t have a picture of a bullet in the air, I’d suspect he had a sharp object in his pocket so he could cut it himself when he grabbed his ear.
Not even that. We never saw the wound. Just ear with something that looked like it might be blood. If that was an act, he didn’t need to cut himself at all.
If it was an act, it was an incredibly callous one, considering three bystanders were shot, and one died.
Being incredibly callous is on-brand for him. But taking the risk, however small, that he himself would be wounded by accident (or by conspiracy) is against everything he has ever demonstrated.
Considering how many appearances he made on WWF/WWE events, he’s well aware of how this works in the wrestling ring.
If the dementia hasn’t already dissolved that part of his brain anyway.
I’d be willing to bet that’s the only part of his brain left that’s intact.
