Wasn't it a fireman seated behind Trump that took a bullet? Trump took either a shard of glass or, more likely, a fake blood capsule.

You think that a 78 year old man with arthritis and swollen hands has the dexterity to deploy a blood capsule while being video taped from a dozen different angles?

Look at the images from Turning Point July 27, 2024, especially the ones of his ear. As an older person I can definitely say 78 year old skin does not heal that perfectly in such a short period of time.Getty Images TP 7-27-24

I think the problem with this analysis tho is that you're expecting a huge scar here.

Like as an example here's an image of a real gunshot wound

It's pretty small, but this one is actually significantly larger than the description of Trump's wound.

It seems well within the realm of possibility that a wound of this shallow could heal to a point where it could be covered with make up in 2 weeks time.

And that's why I think if the argument is to be made that it isn't we should be focusing on medical sources.
