This article misrepresents what the letter says.
Trump does not have a bullet hole in his ear that is 2cm wide.
Trump was grazed by the bullet.
The letter talks about the wound track being 2cm wide.
A male fingertip is about 2 cm wide.
Put your fingertip on the back of your headband now try to create a bullet track that wouldn't have caused much more serious wound. You have to move your finger to the very outer ear or otherwise the bullet would have creased his temple or cheek.
A 2cm hole would have required stitches and Eric Trump said he did not need stitches.
i suspect they mean a 2cm (20mm) long gash. the bullet has a diameter of 5.56mm. 25.4mm is an inch and 5.56mm is about 1/4 inch. The bullet could punch a 1/4inch hole but were it to contact the ear as it traveled past, it could easily leave a 20mm gash. maybe its a combination of the two.
The way he talks about down to the cartilage show it did not go through the cartilage, but was more of a glancing blow that took skin off.
And I would have described the scenario you are talking about as 2cm long. But they should just show it to us.
It was a graze wound and not a through and through wound. This is good news, I thought he was missing part of his ear.
Thanks, that's good information, maybe they meant mm.
Confirms my view that bullets literally bounce off Trump
You could machine gun him point blank in his Holy Face, and all you'd get is a room full of dead pedos, slaughtered by the richochet.
Just IMHO
Trump mentioned it felt like he was slapped on the face or something to that effect. This video shows the shock of a .556 or .223 even, grazing the ear.
It’s a playful video, with sarcasm thrown in. But the science is there. https://youtu.be/FsvJzfXZI18?si=9TnIZvz35Mr08cRV
FF to 8:00 if you want the actual shot.
Brandon Herrera has a ballistic demo that, at high speed, effectively shows the impact, shockwave, and massive hole left by a bullet of the caliber used on a human ear (represented by ballistic dummy). Then at the end he blows away a ballistic dummy representing an assassin with an 'official' sniper bullet. NSFW, obviously.
Did any bullet actually hit, or are we talking about the wake rupturing bloodvessels here? Surely no actual impact, or else it would have been tattered to bits.
Don't think so...
