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?

I said this all along , I’m no expert , but I would think speeding plastic / glass from the teleprompter or something did this , wouldnt a bullet rip his ear off . I would appreciate any knowledge because to me with the knowledge I have , honestly nothing compared to most on here , I don’t understand how a bullet, even grazing him , didn't rip his whole ear off ! I thank God he is safe but damn I’m suspicious that a bullet did this !
I believe spinning shards of teleprompter debris would actually do more damage than a bullet. Bullets wouldn't necessarily 'rip' an ear off unless they were deflected and spinning or deforming due to hitting solid objects. A bullet hole, relatively clean and hot, could reasonably be expected if the projectile had not encountered anything else prior to the soft tissue of the outer ear. MSM talks about teleprompter but no one has shown that, as far as I've seen, anywhere... a shattered teleprompter would likely have injured many more people, but all we have are gunshot victims so far, not debris victims. I got the impression that MSM was reaching for any way to avoid saying Trump was shot.
Thank you so much . I love learning !
