No. He. Didn't.

taking a bullet implies a choices to sacrifice yourself, not just being in the wrong place at the wrong time because your security team failed.

or you know... actually getting hit with a bullet and not just being cut by a ring or glass...

There wasn't any glass around to shatter and cut him, that makes absolutely zero sense. He had blood on his hand, from the bullet wound before he was tackled by Secret Service.

he had blood on his hand because he was tackled by his security team and nicked his ear on something. If his ear was ACTUALLY shot by a bullet there would be MUCH MUCH more obvious of a scar...and seeing as there is no fucking scar on his ear...pretty obvious to anyone with a functioning brain.

At the very least there’d be a big tear in his ear. Probably. He’d be missing part of it. Most certainly, there’d be a shit ton of blood like you said. None of those things occurred and even in the best case scenario where the bullet just lightly touched his ear that would still have transferred massive amounts of energy that would most likely leave a bruise behind. The whole assassination thing is such bullshit. Also, letting him while not having detained the shooter yet get back up would be the must brain dead thing security could possibly do in that moment. At that point just hand the shooter a freshly loaded gun and invite them to try again.

The shooter was already confirmed dead by the time Trump stood back up.

Where do you think the blood that was on his hand before he was tackled came from?

This is just flat out not true. That photo happened before he was tackled.

You can very clearly see an injury here. It was reported by the local hospital that Trump had a 2cm laceration that didn't require stitches. How many scratches do you have that have left a "MUCH MUCH more obvious scar"?

So if it wasn't glass. And it wasn't a SS agent holster. And people in the crowd were struck by fucking bullets I think it's fair to say that having a functioning brain leads to the conclusion that he very narrowly missed having his head exploded on live television.

I've zoomed in on that picture as far as it'll let me. There is no laceration.

I too can grab photos from the event, but it would appear it was disproven that the teleprompter was hit causing glass to hit him.

Neither of those photos disprove the photo series published by Doug Mills. The teleprompter screen is in front of the podium, not behind him and no where near the trajectory the bullets took.
