In reply to the discussion: The thing that has always seemed strange about the Trump [View all]dameatball
(7,638 posts)37. Cartilage was not necessarily damaged. I have had squamous cells removed from my upper ear area.
The incision bleeds like hell but heals up pretty quickly. If the victim happens to be on some type of blood thinner the bleeding would be even more profuse initially. I actually have a flattened area above my right ear where the skin and meager tissue was cut out but the cartilage was not removed. They just tightened everything up around the cartilage and sewed it up.
In the video. Trump did make a swat at his ear prior to being tackled. I don't think that was staged as his reaction times are not that good to have been scripted. Hell, the dumbass would probably have grabbed the wrong ear if it was staged.

Really. Adult cartilage does not have a natural ability to heal or regenerate on its own

Exactly. Even Biden, just a week before, said he would not release his neurological report.

He's dead, he tried to shoot his former hero . He was a lousy shot. Trump crew hasn't released any information.

I think the shooter was told he would be paid to shoot above the crowd. He muffed the shot.

It's only moderately more ridiculous than daily attempts to make the case Trump has no power.

I put it down to 'slow reaction time'.... and on a scale of 1-10 being staged, I say "0"

Trumpsters brag that God saved him by redirecting the bullet... to kill a retired firefighter.

I don't think it's plausible to keep a conspiracy involving hundreds of people quiet.
