Yeah. I think I just don't understand the description very well.
From the video I saw originally it appeared consistent that a bullet had passed past trump & crowd a d struck a hydraulic line causing the rupture.
I don't know enough about hydraulic lines to know how resistant they would be to a bullet, and I don't know what rounds were fired either. Tough to have a valid opinion on this one.
.223 rounds have a lead core, yes. Every one of them I’ve ever shot or seen is fully jacketed. I’ve shot .223 through 1/4” steel plates at the range. Close range I confess. But a small round, jacketed, with a high velocity can penetrate steel. I guess it just depends on thickness etc etc.
I was under the impression that a stray bullet had hit the hydraulic line?
That was my take last night.
This, is like directly in the line of shooting
it doesn't look like hydraulic fluid... looks like water. Hydraulic fluid is usually red.
The hydraulic fluid in every heavy machinery I've used is typically clear with a slight yellowish tint
OK. It's been a long time for me. back in the day is was dark pink when new turning dark red as it got old.

Looks just like these burst lines.
Also, hydraulic line failures are freaking scary!
That was my assumption also.
Edit: X OP mentioned "Leak is opposite the shooter cylinder is steel, bullet is lead." - so maybe not possible?
Bullets of most any caliber and construction will easily penetrate a hydraulic line at that distance.

Me neither, and since nobody has asked the tweeter about it maybe being a line punctured, I have posed that question in response to his tweet.
You fail to consider physics.
