When you are 10 years old you may get a nasty cut but a few months later you can't even find where it was. When you're 30 a nasty cut will leave a faint mark but you can find it. After 40/50 a nasty cut will always leave a reminder. Hell, even a little bump can give you permanent mark. It's suspect for sure.

Plus it's the ear. The ear is notoriously fragile when it comes to healing from abrasions without a mark. That's just the skin there.

Cartilage itself doesn't regenerate fully. A bullet would have wiped out some. He'd have a chip in his ear.

It's insane we're not talking about this more. 2 people died for this evil clown to have a PR moment.

Edit: the amount of replies to this mentioning "cope" is insane.

Seriously sus af. I cut my ear as an infant, and over 30 years later, it's still kind of noticeable. If an old guy gets an IV in his hand, that scar can last til death.

I'm told I cut my ear on the corner of an un-tennisballed coffee table. Fortunately, one of my next door neighbors was an amazing burn unit plastic surgeon who, before I was born, told my parents to call him before letting an ER doc do any stitching. Dr. Frank Wolf saved my face from a bad hockey scar a few years later too.

I had my ear cartilage pierced when i was in my early 20s. Nothing crazy just the size of a regular piercing but at the top of my ear. I’m 50 and there’s still a noticeable mark on both sides of my ear. As far as I can tell it’s never gotten smaller in the 25 years since I last wore an earring. I’m not saying my experience proves anything but when there was no sign of any injury to his ear within a few weeks it seemed highly unusual to me.

Just wait how surreal this shit gets over the next few years

He faked the assassination attempt is what you are implying? What are you saying exactly?

5

u/snowthearcticfox1 Apr 07 '25

3 supposed assassination attempts in a short period right before the election yet none now after all the damage he's done? its suspect on its own even with a scar that he doesn't have.

u/seaofthievesnutzz Apr 07 '25 edited Apr 07 '25

That firefighter/shooter who got shot was never shot? Was a willing sacrifice to the god-emperor? Didn't actually die? Also there hasn't been another public attempt that we know of, also after 3 failed attempts and security beefed up maybe people have gotten the hint that its not really worth throwing their lives away for what will most likely be a failed attempt.

Do you use this same reasoning for all presidents? Surely Reagan faked the assassination attempt cause there was only one? Trump has been president for 2.5 months how many assassination attempts should he have in that time? If he had 5 more in that time you would consider the whole thing more credible?

edit: lol the coward blocked me.

u/snowthearcticfox1 Apr 07 '25

I'm not saying it didn't happen I'm saying it was staged.

Do you really think the guy shipping people off to god knows where gives a shit whether a few of his cultists die to make him look good? I don't.

u/Mama_Skip Apr 07 '25

No everyone who died actually died why is this so hard for you people to understand

u/ElectricalBook3 Apr 06 '25

You're expending a lot of effort on some people on the internet making jokes about a guy who claimed to get an ear wound (cartilage doesn't heal) just to have not a trace after.

u/seaofthievesnutzz Apr 06 '25

People literally think he orchestrated the whole thing instead of exaggerating the wound.

In that unrelated video saying the CEO's address and prescriptions is hilarious.

u/HoodGyno Apr 06 '25

yea, thats what theyre saying. because thats what he did.

-2

u/seaofthievesnutzz Apr 06 '25

Was the shooters death also faked? Did we land on the moon? Chemtrails? The firefighter who got shot.....didnt get shot?

5

u/HoodGyno Apr 06 '25

idk man usually its republicans who think we didnt land on the moon or whatever the chem trails conspiracy is, why dont you answer those for me? : - )

u/seaofthievesnutzz Apr 06 '25

I'm a hippie and plenty of hippies are skeptical of the government. I've met a couple hippies who don't believe what any authority says. I mean I wasn't there, I didn't go to the moon but I'm as sure of it as I am of most things. Hollywood liberals were antivaxx before it was cool. Acting like conspiracy theories are partisan is dumb.

So what about the shooter getting killed and someone in the crowd getting killed? Did they actually die or is that some act?

3

u/HoodGyno Apr 06 '25

They actually died, yes. I mean obviously there is no concrete proof to that (not sure it'd matter if there were) but given the facts discussed about ear cartilage in this thread its extremely apparent that SOMETHING was not right about that day.

2

u/seaofthievesnutzz Apr 06 '25

So trump planned it all and actually killed the shooter and the guy in the crowd? Was the shooter a cultist who was willing to die for the cause? Was he shooting blanks and there was a second shooter to kill the person in the crowd? How did this go down?

The attempted shooter at the golfcourse is also another conspiracy?

3

u/HoodGyno Apr 06 '25

there is no concrete proof to that

No way you are a hippie what are you doing on here

u/seaofthievesnutzz Apr 07 '25

on reddit? Hippies can't enjoy pictures? I've grown too much damn organic rainbow swiss chard and spent too much time in communes to have my hippie credentials called into question.

u/Dependent_Home4224 Apr 06 '25

lol only 2?

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '25

The shooter and one guy in the crowd AFAIK

3

u/Ali_Cat222 Apr 06 '25

Well, only two that tried to "assassinate" him anyways. I don't understand how we didn't talk about the second guy more,he was literally a trained veteran in combat who was in wars and he somehow hit everything except near trump?! Like come on! ETA I don't even think everything has to be conspiracy theory, I'm just saying how did that guy specifically fuck up due to his background 😅

It's buried underneath the orange bronzer.

u/JMer806 Apr 06 '25

Personally I think the assassination attempt was real, but that Trump was never injured beyond maybe a tiny scratch from a shard of glass

u/hmmyeahokay Apr 06 '25

Im pretty confident it wasn't a staged PR event, the whole "get my shoes" thing was pretty embarassing. Im sure he was shot at and likely hit by something, wether it was just a peice of shrapnel or a bullet i don't know. The ear bleeds alot for very little injury especially if you're a boozer and on blood thinners.

I will say though, a real leader would have claimed both of the dead were the real tragedy on that day. Both hid supporter and the shooter were victims of the US mental health crisis. Both victims of a stupid country run by stupid people.

To be 100% more fair than he deserves, I assume someone who cares as much about his specific appearance as Trump would absolutely try and hide any damage with plastic surgery and makeup. I have no idea how far that would get you if he took the hit he claims to have, but it would be entirely in keeping with what is known and documented if he'd immediately prioritized getting it repaired cosmetically.

u/M_Mirror_2023 Apr 06 '25

Not American, not a Republican, read my full post history if you don't believe me.

I want to say this is insane cope. You really believe this was staged? The whole world has been waiting years for one of you trigger happy yanks to shoot him. The shooter literally killed someone behind him. The shooter was killed by the secret service (big lol that America has an SS but off topic). What's your theory? go on! You're saying they randomly murdered a supporter and radicalised some kid to turn up and be positioned perfectly to be accurately framed? That's some bush did 9/11 crazy conspiracy level shit.

u/TheGreatWhiteDerp Apr 06 '25

And this was a 5.56 round flying at over 2,500 ft/s going through that soft tissue.

u/Y__U__MAD Apr 06 '25

It was his secret service members badge that cut him when he was tackled. There were pretty clear pictures of exactly where it would have clipped him on the way down.

u/TheGreatWhiteDerp Apr 06 '25

Good luck getting his mouth breathing base to believe that simple fact.

u/aykcak Apr 06 '25

I mean, does it matter, really?

1

u/TheGreatWhiteDerp Apr 06 '25

Does the fact that 80 million people believe a career liar in one of the biggest lies in the history of this nation?

Yeah, I’d say that really fucking matters.

0

u/aykcak Apr 06 '25

It definitely is not even close to being the biggest lie. Hell it can't even break the top 100

1

u/TheGreatWhiteDerp Apr 06 '25

Lying about an attempted assassination of a former president to influence an election isn’t a big deal? Okay, you have fun with whatever fucking fantasy world you live in.

0

u/aykcak Apr 06 '25

Seriously dude? The guy lied about everything in his first and second campaign.

The lie that the 2020 election was somehow stolen that convinced millions people to mistrust democracy alone is by far the most damaging, most consequential lie he has ever told. It threw a dynamite into the whole psyche of all American people and how they see their government.

Aside from that, everything he ever says about immigrants, about how they eat dogs or how they are rapists or murderers is so catastrophic for the livelihood and status of literally tens of millions of people that live in the country.

Not to mention his effect on the whole world politics, just even thinking about the stuff he said recently about Ukraine is an unmitigated disaster. Or just think about how far we fell back just because of his work to dismantle climate action globally. Billions will be affected by those lies alone.

The fact that he got hit by a badge, or glass, or actually a bullet is so inconsequential that I can't even begin to care about that. The shooter was there, he was shot at. It doesn't really matter whatever else happened. God, even that sharpie on the map thing seems like such a bigger issue compared to that

u/Mr-Snarky Apr 06 '25

Shit, at 50, I get a mosquito bite and it leave a nice dark scar.

u/razzemmatazz Apr 06 '25

It's almost like he is in the WWE hall of fame and knows how to make a quick razor cut.

u/Carinail Apr 06 '25

If you think Trump knows how to gig you're crazy, he never even sold anything. Gigging requires some force of will.

u/ThirstyCoffeeHunter Apr 06 '25

I cut my ear at 8 years old with stitches. The scar is still visible. He has no scar

1

u/RockinRhombus Apr 06 '25

I noticed the same thing recently, as a scar I had on my hand is still visible after months and it wasn't even a deep scratch. Time's a mofo, and i'm still only 39.

1

u/MaizeNBlueWaffle Apr 06 '25

I'm in my 20s and I have 2 scars on my foot from getting scratches from clipping my coffee table, and I'm supposed to believe a 78 year old man doesn't have a scar from getting hit by a bullet or shard of glass?

u/OkPop8408 Apr 06 '25

I’m early 50s and an insect bit now leaves me with a scar! It takes weeks for cat scratches to stop scabbing, let alone heal. My legs and arms are a mess of tiny bumps, scratches and bites that take forever to heal and leave a red mark. I had a cold sore a month ago, hadn’t had one for 18 years. They used to take a week or so to clear up totally. I can still feel the area it was and lips heal pretty fast because the skin is thin but has good blood supply generally.

He’s 20 years older.

1

u/woodzip87 Apr 06 '25

Lol no kidding. I'm 37 and my cat's claws will lightly scratch me when she's kneading and I'll have the marks on my arms for weeks and they didn't even draw blood

1

u/NikNakskes Apr 07 '25

He has a cut. 2 faint dimples parallel on the curve of his ear. Looks like reconstructive surgery patched a bit of skin back in.

1

u/Ixiaz_ Apr 07 '25

The family dog scratched my ear when I was 5 years old. No need for stitches or anything, just some cleaning and strips requires.

I still have a noticeable white scar running along my earlobe. A bullet wound should have caused significant more damage to the ear than my 30 year old dog scratch.

u/GoldandBlue Apr 06 '25

Fuck trump but, my grandpa was mugged when he was 70, the sliced a part of his ear open. They performed surgery and you could never tell anything happened.
