President Trump could be enjoying his golden years golfing and spending time with his family," Gill told Fox News Digital. "Instead, he took a bullet for this country and is now working overtime...

Wasn't he golfing yesterday?
We all know he hates his family and is happy to avoid them.
"Took a bullet" is akin to me saying I was stabbed in the face by a deranged idiot when I cut myself shaving.
Working overtime at what exactly? Are his tiny chode fingers getting tired from signing a few bits of paper?

Didn't the bullet go through his ear and kill a firefighter?

Bullet never touched him. The blood was splatter. He wore a bandage for 2 days for show. When it came off there was not a scratch.

I work at a hospital and have worked with hundreds of patients around his age. When you're that old, your skin is like paper thin and tears extremely easy. I've slid patients from one bed to another and tore skin. Donald Trump was tackled by secret service. Maybe it was his blood but I highly doubt he took a bullet or any shrapnel from glass or anything else.

Yeah... I'm willing to buy that he had immediate, top grade treatment, I'm willing to accept that the bullet barely grazed him and it bled a lot

But I'm not willing to believe he healed that fast or that perfectly. There's no notch from any angle, no scab, nothing - just a few days later there was no sign of it. And he was milking it for all he had... And yet, aside from that blood on the scene, all we ever saw was comically oversized bandages, then normal ones during more serious meetings, then nothing

It grazed his ear, ears apparently bleed a hell of a lot. I knew that from my injuries but that was a good amount of blood from just a little nick. And old people bleed like crazy, thin skin.

Conspiracy theories don't help. Especially since there was a photo with the bullet mid flight.

I thought it was widely accepted that the bullet itself didn't him hit, it was shrapnel from the poidum

They point a lot too. Fat little fingers
