The photographer says the speed used was 1/8000. The streak in the picture is a foot or more long. My understanding is that the fastest bullets travel 4000 fps. If it was the fastest bullet possible it would travel 1/2 foot or 6 inches in the picture, which is closer to Trump's shoulder width than the long streak shown. This was probably a slower bullet. Is this picture more fuckery?

No, the speed you were given was the film speed. The reason the trail in the picture was longer was because of shutter speed. A DSLR camera the photographers use has a shutter speed a lot slower than the film speed.
Film speed as in ISO? Last I checked 1/8000 is a shutter speed format. Shutter speed also makes a lot more sense when talking about the motion blur on fast moving objects.
