This is a response to a Talking Points Memo series on the lack of transparency from the Trump campaign
People seem to be making a lot of distinction about whether it was the bullet or shrapnel from something the bullet hit. I don’t see how it matters. Someone took a shot at him and got close enough that his ear got tagged. I hate the guy, but this is an academic distinction that doesn’t really matter.
It’s just a play to keep it in the news cycle longer.
My personal conspiracy theory is that he wasn’t hit by anything but instead a secret service agent accidentally hurt his ear when they piled on top of him.
Completely agree. This distinction is immaterial in anyway other than serving up fuel to fanatics who will poorly represent his dissenters.
It doesn’t matter. Bullets are scary. Shrapnel is scary. What’s really ridiculous is his refusal to participate in the investigation. He turned a nothing into a something.
