    I just can't engage with this nonsense. Why are all of you people batshit crazy with your unsubstantiated conspiracy theories. I mean you suggest the mic. So the bullet hit the mic, broke up and somehow boomeranged back around and hit him in the ear?

    Or do you all just like to **** post like me?

    It doesn't matter what it was. It was a bullet or bullet fragment fired from the gun of the would-be assassin. I'm not sure why people get bothered if anyone suggests it might not have been an intact bullet.

    At what point do you stop minimizing the severity of an issue? I mean, who really cares if the holocaust was real? Those jews would have eventually died anyways, even if it was old age.

    Its just really dumb to justify or propagate something that makes absolutely no sense.

    Yeah. Being hit by a bullet or by a fragment of the bullets that whizzed by his ear is kind of a weird thing to care about.

    Trump saying "in four years you won't have to vote again", now that's something all pro-democracy folks should care about.

    Nice try, but it really misses the mark. 2/10, mainly for the attempt

    FBI Director suggests Trump's ear is pioneering a new trend in spontaneous blood art; no explosions, just a dramatic paper cut. The ear remains intact, ready for its next close-up

    I'm not minimizing anything. There was an assassination attempt with The ex-pres as the intended target. Someone was killed and Donald was wounded.

    That doesn't mean that Donald, his followers or anyone else get to manufacture the details that make it the most heroic story possible.

    Are you aware you are sounding exactly like the right winged nut jobs who have a conspiracy theory about everything?

    I am quoting the FBI. What conspiracy theory do you believe I'm trying to push.

    Is it a conspiracy theory that someone tried to shoot Trump?

    Is it a conspiracy theory that someone was killed?

    Is it a conspiracy theory that the FBI has stated they don't know whether it was a bullet or fragment of a bullet that grazed Trump's ear?

    Those are the only things I've said about it. Where does the conspiracy theory part come in?

    doesnt even matter if it was staged, Nobody even cares that Trump almost got assisnated. Trump is so unlikeable, everyone has already moved on.

    The FBI will investigate all leads, and I'm sure if there is a possibility that he has a Gab account, they will want to check it, as they did with Steam (which they later realized was a fake account).

    (For those not aware, Gab is a far-right social networking microblogging site that is a haven for neo-Nazis, racists, white supremacists, white nationalists, antisemites, the alt-right, and QAnon.)

    From Gab founder:
    “Approximately 30 minutes ago, Gab learned that Thomas Crooks, the deranged Joe Biden supporter who attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump, may have had an account on our platform. We are unable to confirm that the account in question actually belonged to him,” Torba wrote at 2:34pm on Wednesday. “The account was last active on the site in 2021. As far as we are aware, the account did not use the site to send any direct messages. He posted on the site nine (9) times total.”

    It's not staged, JFC. But yes, it's pretty much over (except for those who keep saying it's staged or some other conspiracy).

    The FBI will continue their investigation, but there is a possibility that it won't be satisfactory (they can't find his motive).
