What was convincing about those two recreations however was that there seems to be no way anybody would have tried to shoot Trump's ear for something like a staged assassination attempt, not from that distance and a moving target because it would have been a shot not even master shooters would try because it would be too uncertain. That the only way it could have gone was if somebody was trying to kill him and missed by millimeters because he turned his head at exactly the right moment.

And there is that other explanation of how the way his ear looked does not look like anything that could have been done with something like a blood packet, from a make-up artist for films who wrote about the false flag claims almost immediately after the shooting I linked to before, and is of the opinion that the small hole on his ear and where the blood is look to him as genuine, and that especially not something that could be faked in the few moments between his ducking and when the photos were taken after the secret service agents allowed him to get back up. That if that had been faked the end results would have looked different.

So, according to those it looks like Trump did get shot for real and it was an attempt to kill him, but maybe the shooting of Crooks, if that really is Crooks, could be a bit more questionable.
