Still no press conference from the Secret Service, just like Biden, no transparency and no Q&A.
Hehehehe...GMTA...see my post above!
The whole thing is stupid and irrational in the extreme.
We should never forget-THESE are the same people that called us conspiracy theorists because a man who couldn’t draw audiences above and beyond the staff and press corps, yet he supposedly got 81 million votes.
Your post nearly made me spit my coffee! Especially that last line!
Bkmk
I would imagine that the shock wave of the bullet passing his ear may have affected his hearing in the right ear. Perhaps temporary or could be some partial longer lasting hearing loss in that ear.
LANGUAGE ALERT!!!!

But... It does illustrate the potential damage even an ear shot could do. I was surprised by how much cavitation in the simulated cartilage in the ear transferred energy to the side of the head. While no where near fatal, it would certainly explain the large size of Pres. Trump’s ear bandage.
As for the return shot on the shooter... A bit more dramatic than what actually occurred...
Oh, come on ... he only drops an “F-Bomb” every thirty seconds. Now, if it was every 15 seconds I’d agree with the “language alert”.

Ya.
Have you heard the one where they give the signal, he drops, and they hurriedly paint up the ear?
Some folks clutch their pearls harder than others and I was trying to be courteous...
AKGuy is good people and the Unsubscribe YT show is hilarious...
He’s one of my favorites; he gives a good combination of technical information and shootin’ stuff up.
Having supersonic rifle bullets whiz overhead is an odd effect, but it’s not incredibly loud. At least not from 5’ away.

What Does It Sound Like To Get Shot At? Bullet Sounds Near & Far
It gives an idea, but even that appears to have been a more solid hit than what Trump took, and against flesh equivalent rather than cartilage. The more flesh is behind the hit, them more energy will be absorbed. There will be damage multiples outside the actual piece of ear that was clipped out, but it has its limits.
The cartilage of the outer ear is surprisingly thin. The ear, although thin itself, is mostly flesh.
LOL, I KNOW about “Garand Thumb”!
No, the REAL Garand Thumb! I nearly got it once!
Thank you for the links lepton!
Welcome...and yeah, Garand Thumb is so easy to get. Other than that, and being a bit nose-heavy, it is a beautiful weapon for its time.
Fine piece of weaponry...:)
