Also, last night in his speech he described how the doctor said the ear bleeds a lot. None on his hand. None on the white cuff of his sleeve. Even as he drops to the ground after covering his ear, his hand is momentarily visible... no blood.
I am not positing a theory. I am asking about what looks like an inconsistency.
From a comment on another post:
In my opinion the following is definitive proof that this wasn't staged...
Look at this sequence of three rapid-fire high-definition pictures taken right at the moment the bullet struck his ear. https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/1e2q931/the_photograph_sequence_of_the_bullet_that_hit/
(The first of these photos is the one that 'captures the bullet in mid-air'.)
Notice this:
In the first picture, his hand is clean. In the second, he reaches for his ear. In the third, his hand is bloodied.
This sequence all happens in a fraction of a second. There's no time to 'pop a blood packet'.
Also, where would the blood packet be? There is no 'blood packet' in his hand (you can see an empty hand in pic #1), and there is no way that a blood packet was 'taped behind his ear' (it would have easily been spotted prior to the shooting - there were lots of hi-def cameras on that man).
Something definitively 'ripped through his ear' during that photo sequence.
Thanks. There is some blood. Not a ton. Last night in his speech he really poured it on thick about how much blood there was. So that got me thinking. I hadn't seen these photos before.
There wasn't time for there to be a lot of blood on his hand. He touch his ear then looked at his hand almost instantly. It's not like there's a major artery in his ear that would spew blood. Once the blood started flowing it ran down his face in the few seconds he was on his knee head down.
A lot of people obviously don't have any experience with gunshots on humans or animals. It's not like in the movies. Unless someone is hit in a near surface major artery or vein like a carotid artery or jugular vein, it takes at least a few seconds for the blood to accumulate on the surface.
For him, it probably was a lot of blood. He's a billionaire buisness man that plays alot of golf. He hasn't put himself into a position for bloody injuries, probably since he was a kid.
Also such an injury is not that easy to bandage so it probably was bleeding for quite a long time in the limo as they were getting him to a medic.
"Last night in his speech ..."
he was in the car for a while. lotta blood woulda come then:
the ears are essentially blood bags:
think about when you see someone embarrassed and how quickly the ears go red.
Nah, blood would have started very quickly. He was on stage for long enough. I personally think there wasn't as much blood as he made it sound. But I am not blaming him. The guy got shot!
Correct - but these photos were taken a fraction of a second after the ear started bleeding, and with a quick swipe of the ear.
Fresh blood wipes right off. I probably do it once a month or more. Due to my job I get cut a lot.
So not a female? 😉
being highly accident prone myself, i concur.
I saw him place his flat hand on his ear after the first bullet stung him. He then looked at his hand which showed a bit of blood on the palm of his hand. He then ducks and dropped down, leaning forward, which allowed the two blood streaks to drip down the side of his face. The lack of constant bleeding can only be explained (to my thoughts) that his fight-or-flight mechanism had kicked in. An adrenaline rush will harden and clamp all the blood veins so that you will not bleed to death in battle.
One personal anecdote from years ago. I had a real needle phobia. When I had to get my finger pricked or blood drawn for a medical exam, I would get so anxious that my fight-or-flight would create an adrenaline rush that would make it so the medical personnel would be unable to get blood out of my fingertips, trying all ten and getting nothing! One time a nurse literally snapped a needle when trying to draw blood from my arm. It disturbed me so much I passed out (lol) and they had to use smelling salts to bring me back.
Since then, I have to use a zen/meditation technique in order to relax enough for them to easily draw blood when needed.
Probably wiped it off at the “secret service” / security
Or blood inside fingers inner palm… fist 👊 show outer
We could see the blood run down his face. He may not have cupped his ear tightly enough to get blood on it. He didn't know how much damage was there, and may not have wanted to do more. I think it likely he didn't know for sure it was just the ear.
His ear drum was probably giving him problems as well. Noticed that Trump was the one telling the others to duck, not the other way around.
Last I got cut was when I slipped up with a kitchen knife, it went into my finger so fast and cleanly there was surprisingly no blood on the blade. Also weird was that it took four or five seconds for my finger to start bleeding, probably because it was all small capillaries (the ear is a similar situation) rather than me hitting a large blood vessel.
Yeah, same happens when it's really dry and my nose bleeds. I'll blow it, there will be a tiny bit of blood, i'm like "ok, no big deal," and then 5 or so seconds later it's the 3 Gorges Dam breaking.
Yep, happens to me everytime, there is a weird delay then it suddenly starts pouring out. Never blood on the knife or the cutting board.
Yeah it was my pointer finger so I was able to put light pressure on it with my thumb as I ran to the bathroom, the only time blood was spilled was when I was fumbling around trying to bandage it using only my other hand.
Oh for Gods sake. So he used a hangercheif to wipe it off while he was on the ground like WTF is is with people.
Lol, you think he wiped his hand off?
I think what my conclusion at this point is that he got shot, and there was not as much blood as he seemed to think there was. For him, having been shot, there was a lot of blood. But the way he carried on about it last night was odd. He drew a lot of attention to it, yet there was not the amount of blood as he described. I was just curious to know why he exaggerated.
Read interview with a makeup artist: he said it did NOT look fake to him. Wish I could find it again or I would link it...
I am not saying it was fake. I just am not reconciling his story of all the blood with the pictures. Maybe to him it was a lot of blood. The way he described it, I thought at least his whole hand would have been drenched, and some on his white cuff.
Here's a close-up photo of the ear and blood. Derek Johnson said in the video posted earlier about this being a White Hat/Q Op that Trump had a small blood capsule near the top of his ear and he actually reached up for it just before the shot. Not sure I buy it, but that's what he said.

NO NO NO NO AND FUCKING NO. IT WAS NOT STAGED SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS A FEDERAL CRIME WAKE UP YOU IDIOTS YOU SOUND JUST LIKE THE REST OF THE DEMOCRATS. TIRED OF HEARING THIS FRIGGEN CRAP
Yes. Stop watching CNN.
Chill, dude, er, captain. I don't watch CNN. I was curious because of Trump's description of all of the blood.
