So they killed Corey Comperatore and shot David Dutch so they could get a photo of ketchup running down Trump’s cheek while the cameras and hundreds of cell phones were recording. Ok...you can go on record believing that if it let's you sleep better and stokes your hatred. I'll pass on that one.

I saw one argument that it was the shockwave from the bullet that damaged his ear. Whether from that or his ear was damaged when the agents pulled him to the ground, it is pretty clear he wasn't grazed by the bullet, much less hit.

Official Conclusion: The Bullet Itself Caused the Injury Based on forensic analysis, medical evaluations, and statements from the (Biden era) FBI and Trump’s physicians, Donald Trump’s ear was struck by a bullet (or fragment of one) fired from the shooter’s AR-15-style rifle during the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. The wound was a superficial graze—described as a 2 cm (about 3/4-inch) laceration to the upper cartilaginous surface of his right ear—causing significant bleeding but no need for stitches or long-term damage. Trump was treated at Butler Memorial Hospital that night, released hours later, and his ear healed fully within weeks, with no visible scarring by September 2024. The FBI’s Shooting Reconstruction Team confirmed this after examining bullet fragments and trajectory evidence. High-speed photos from New York Times photographer Doug Mills captured the bullet in flight near Trump’s head, aligning with the graze path. Trump’s former White House physician, Rep. Ronny Jackson, who monitored his recovery, stated the bullet “passed, coming less than a quarter of an inch from entering his head, and struck the top of his right ear,” scooping out skin and fat but sparing deeper tissue.
