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've done high-speed photography on bullets, and your assumption is correct. The camera would NOT have been able to capture an image of the bullet. However, it now appears that Trump was not struck with a bullet, but rather, glass from a shattered teleprompter. If true, those objects could be traveling significantly slower than the bullet and possibly slowly enough to be captured. Of course, the whole thing could simply be part of a scripted movie like the one that Q says that we're watching.
Where's the video of the teleprompter exploding though? That streak from the "bullet" seems to be coming from the correct trajectory to be an actual bullet.
