This seems to be implying there never was a list. Except we know there is.

What is this even alleging, that the assassination attempt was faked? That it was real but he didn’t have a legitimate wound?

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 25 minutes ago

Assassination of the fireman was successful, but regarding trump there's no real evidence that bullet was even remotely close to him.

The attack was real, the injury itself was overblown for the spectacle and "heroism" of it. It was a very minor injury that bled a lot because there are a lot of veins on the head and ears.

Also whether or not he was actually grazed by the bullet or by shrapnel from a bullet hitting the teleprompter is questionable. It really doesn't even matter either way as he was injured while being shot at, so what difference does it make what exactly hit him? But he got big mad at someone suggesting that they weren't sure, that he somehow knew it was a bullet, like he knew better, like he saw the bullet or something, which is moronic. So I like to bring that up.

He had a small cut probably from shrapnel. Cuts on the head bleed a lot.

There's a photo of the bullet going by his head

Pretty big coincidence if this bullet whizzed right by that side of his head and something unrelated cut his ear

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 6 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Almost like that's a 2d picture and you can't tell how far away that bullet is in 3d space. Coincidences do happen.

I dunno man seems pretty conspiratorial for no reason.

You can hate Trump and acknowledge that a bullet probably hit his ear.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

Something hit his ear for sure

~~Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought we already confirmed that it was the Secret Service agent's gun that clipped his ear as he shoved Trump to the ground.~~

[–] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He touched his ear before they jumped him.

One notable Theory, that seems quite plausible, is the cut came from when he was pushed down and his ear might have caught on something on the Secret Service agents belt.

[–] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

He touched his ear before the rushed in.

Trump died and was replaced

[–] greenbit@lemmy.zip 1 points 22 hours ago

The target was the audience member and Trump had a blade

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

They would have picked a hardline democrat guy to pin it on if it was staged.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This isn't alleging the shooting was staged, but the injury. And since there's no medical record of the injury, nor visual record of the injury, and the injury disappeared in a matter of days well let's just say there's a lot to that theory.

[–] zeca@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You mean that they would manage to fake an injury in a real shooting? A bit too unpredictable of a plan isnt it?

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

No I'm just saying they lied about the source of his injury. He was very clearly not shot.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

They weren't fast enough for that so they had to play up the "wound" with a giant bandage for weeks.

[–] parody@lemmings.world 3 points 1 day ago

lol @ him being smart enough to fake it (to play along without ruining it, the braggart)

Next conspiracy pls :)
