I think Trump was actually looking in the direction of the shooter when shot.

That is probably the bullet trace from bullet passing by after grazing him.
Bullet trace comes from the atmospheric disturbance in the bullet wake caused by the shock wave of a super sonic bullet
Under the right conditions you can visually follow the path of a bullet as it flies down range

If it’s a legitimate real image, it could have been caught in the middle of a frame.

Don’t see any damage from bullet grazing him, tho...

And put an earring in it. Maybe a diamond.

The shooter took multiple shots. We don’t know exactly when the pic was taken

Good thing Trump doesn’t just stare straight into a teleprompter when he talks.

If it’s real, you can bet the rent it’s the shot that hit his ear...The trajectory lines up perfectly.

It would be absolutely badass if he left it like that and wore it proudly. Sort of like one of those German fraternity dueling scars.

Hopefully it’s clean and not like Holyfields ear after the Tyson fight.

Bullet trace is the refractive distortion from the air density shift across the shockwave of a supersonic bullet. It's an ever-broadening cone behind the bullet. It's a distortion of the background- in this case since the background is basically uniform blue it would be a minute shift in the sky hue itself. It's also far larger than the bullet itself. It's also generally virtually invisible from the side; there's a reason you only see it from behind in videos (it stacks up on itself over many feet from that angle). It takes a special technique and highly controlled circumstances / lighting to catch it from the side (Schlieren photography).
What's pictured in the photo is the motion-blurred bullet itself. I have no problem believing this photo is legit; I've seen airgun pellets, .22 lr and a couple .45 auto bullets in flight, and a camera has a way lot better 'shutter time' than my eye.
You can even discern the reddish color of the copper jacket. It's a hell of a photo...

‘Seen it myself.
Sunrise at the range, standing behind the shooter. You can even tell the color of the bullet’s base! (This doesn’t necessarily apply to supersonic rounds—but it could).
The trail appears red in color. I’d sure like to examine Trump’s red hat!

Pretty sure you’re right. Either way though it was a sure hit but for hand of God

Shutter speed about 1/750th of a second?

With some quick back-of-the-envelope calculations for a 62 gr bullet from a 20" barrel at 400' (commonly being reported as the rough distance), I have more like 1/1800 exposure time (guesstimating 17" bullet streak, with bullet behind Trump depth-wise).
But either way, well within the capabilities of even a cheap DSLR!
