Wray said it’s not clear yet whether it might have been shrapnel
His insecurity-induced attack is pretty much confirmation that the bullet didn’t touch him
Easy enough for him to prove it— just take the maxi pad off and show the public.
But now he has a bigger problem, eventually he has to make his lie match his purported ear damage.
“I got some great plastic surgery, the best plastic surgery. Better than the world has ever seen.”
#needs more orange 🍊
Still needs a starlink antenna though.
It’s so insecure right? To anyone who is confident or reflective it wouldn’t matter.
Just when I thought Trump finally suffers some kind of paltry consequence and he didn’t even get shot. Reality sucks.
We got thrust into the stupidest timeline. Although the tacos are pretty decent.
If these are the tacos we get, imagine how awesome the other timeline’s tacos must be!
Wouldn’t be a big deal if he didn’t already have the whole storyline of Jesus personally coming down from the heavens to nudge poor ol’ Trump’s head out of the way so that we can witness the peace and prosperity of fascist rule under a convicted fraudster
He wasn’t really shot, I’m calling it
Some people speculated on this from day 1 when he wasn’t posing for photos with his “bullet wound.”
I remember one of the first things I heard was that a bullet struck the teleprompter and he was hit by broken glass. I never heard anything about it after that, so I assumed it was just false; but it made a whole lot of sense at the time.
wheres the teleprompter now? wouldn’t that tell all?
Dead teleprompters tell no tales.
Hopefully it was taken into evidence immediately, but who knows.
Sure it would, and I don’t want to give credence to conspiracy theories, but the teleprompter belongs to Trump’s campaign, so if it’s going to be released, the call will have to come from inside the house.
The teleprompter thing seems to have been debunked but that doesn’t mean it was a bullet either.
he doesn’t want to cooperate= confirmed shrapnel
The question was whether a bullet or shrapnel hit Trump. But of course, Trump does not comprehend nuance.
Trump does not comprehend nuance.
I’m dizzy trying to figure out if this is irony, sarcasm, redundant, humour, reality, serious, comical, factual, dystopian…or did the psilocybin just kick in, on so many levels?
Whoa, it wasn’t meant as some deep, philosophical statement. I just meant that Trump likely doesn’t comprehend Wray’s distinction between getting shot with a bullet and being struck by shrapnel.
Sorry, omitted the “/s”.
It was more hyperbolic and melodramatic, though. “/h + /m”./ps for psilocybin
/a for apropo
The question about whether it was a bullet or shrapnel wouldn’t even be in the news if Trump didn’t insist on playing up being an inch from death. Either answer would have been far less important than being shot at but no, he had to make the question about what hit him a big deal.
Either way, it shouldn’t matter, someone still got close to killing him. But of course, Trump probably insists that people say he got hit by a bullet.
I’m sure we’ll find out eventually unless he decides to continue wearing his maxi-pad.
This story could have just gone away, with most people never hearing that maybe he just has a little cut under his big gauze pad and anyone trying to bring it up looking extremely petty. But nope, Trump himself can’t just let things pass unanswered.
Also worth noting: Wray’s statements were made in response to questions asked by Jim Jordan.
This isn’t something Democrats went looking to dig up. It got stirred up by one of Trump’s frothiest allies.
Trump definitely did not fuck a couch.
Trump definitely did not fuck a couch.
Citation?
He didn’t pay hush money to the couch.
Sofa King obvious.
‘Big Sofa’ is out to get him and Vance.
Their sexionals are on sale.
Fuck it? I’m more likely to believe that he raped it and then tried to pay it off using campaign funds.
I have it on good authority that he also has not denied raping and murdering a young girl in the 1990s.
Ghislaine, that you?
When you are president, they just let you sit on them.
Even with a full diaper!
It was a splinter wasn’t it?
He got bone spurs in his ears.
Fingers crossed! I have ‘shrapnel’ on my election bingo card! I just need “Black Hillary” (thanks for that one @nonailsleft@lemm.ee) and ‘JD cries’.
Shootings. How do they work. Nobody knows.
Maybe we should ask Putin?
It makes sense if it wasn’t a bullet. I think most of the bullets went into the crowd so its likely he was never in any real danger.
Just because the person shooting at you missed doesn’t mean you weren’t in “real danger”. Anyone on the business end of a firearm, wielded intentionally or neglegently, is in real danger. The firearm doesn’t become harmless due to lack of skill or intent.
