Trump's Assassination Attempt Story Has BIG PROBLEMS [View all]

This is a pretty comprehensive summary of all knowns and unknowns

Many of the points made here are quite interesting, taken together.... Pretty damning IMHO

Particularly the item near the end, where the woman is literally shepherding the photographers to just the right "sweet spot" to capture the epic scene of the rising and bloodied survivor

One thing left unmentioned, is the total lack of any sign of Dumpf's ear ever being touched, by a bullet - I have seen a number of close-up pictures of his ear and there is just nothing - no healed damage, scar, just plain nothing

So many things just don't add up !!
