Who Shot dJRt
"Trust, but verify" (or its variation "trust, but audit") is a phrase often attributed to Reagan, who was a prominent republican, hence I thought it particularly apropos in context. I am sure the phrase and its variants have been used in many and varied contexts since (and probably before) he popularised it.
I think you are missing my point.
The consequences of a failed assassination, and the severity of the security failure, would be identical even if it were proven indisputably that Trump was hit by debris rather than the actual bullet.
My point, though not explicitly stated previously, is that it would not be a big deal except for the comments of Trump and his minions. He heard the bullet whizzing by, he felt it ripping through his skin, he knew instantly that he had been shot and was under attack, etc. Note though that he had the presence of mind to retrieve his high heels before retreating to safety in the face of being shot at.
I guess you can do that when God has your back and can turn your head at just the right moment to avoid certain death. True Divine Intervention would have jammed the shooter's gun. I guess God cared only about Trump and nothing about the poor soul who was killed or the two who were wounded.
My biggest issue is don't claim you were shot unless you actually were. Trump has that information; we do not. Just say you were injured in a shooting. His true admirers are too dumb to pick up on the difference and won't care anyway. And wear an appropriate sized bandage for what looked like you sneezed while shaving instead of wearing a loosely placed potholder on the side of your head.

Irony of ironies, it is a Russian proverb.

Someone tried to assassinate him. In their attempt they killed one person and injured two others. Trump was also injured, whether by gunfire, shrapnel or fingernail. Who cares. It's a major deal either way. Stop trying to diminish how monumental a near miss assassination attempt was. Embarrassing.

Cool, didn't even know that. Probably should have, considering I'm Russian.

Are you saying he was not shot?
Both teleprompters show no damage so what hit him then?
I'm saying that I do not know for certain whether a bullet made contact with him. Do you?
- We have photo evidence of a bullet going past him
- We have photos of his ear mangled seconds after the shooting.
- We have photos of the teleprompter completely intact after the shooting.
- We have videos pointed at him showing zero non bullet debris flying within 1 foot of his head area.
This isn't enough evidence?

Not for me from a drama queen who will tell a lie when the truth would help him.
I'm glad it is for you though.

I did not point to his own testimony as evidence.
Here is what I said:

Based on all of that, would you bet your life that a bullet touched him and accept the initial medical report as definitive either way?
There's much more interesting conspiracy theories about the shooting to go down the rabbit hole on. What hit Trump is a nothingburger.

I KNEW the Russians were involved!
So you looked at all the evidence and you weren't convinced. Interesting.
Was 9/11 an inside job too?
Obviously seems important to the MAGA cult that their fearless leader was in mortal danger and survived. I mean, he's basically a demigod to them at this point.
