Everybody Loves a Good Conspiracy

Are you pulling my leg at this point? You can hear the shots, you can see the bullet (if that photo is true), people in that line of fire were shot in the crowd. I don't doubt the shooter was a loon, or that the shooting happened, just I don't think the bullet really hit his ear and caused the bleeding.

No I’m not pulling your leg. You think the bullet was so close to his head that a head turn saved his life. You are theorizing a bullet within a couple inch window next to his ear and yet you’re confident that the ear wound was from contact with the secret service. You have no reason to believe the bullet was so close to his head other than the ear wound. Without the ear wound we can only say he was in the line of fire just like everybody standing around him. Just like the guy who actually died 20 feet away. It would never occur to you that a head turn saved him. That seems obvious and unarguable. Without the ear wound you wouldn’t think a head turn saved him. Yet you don’t think the ear wound had anything to do with the bullet. The two beliefs are incompatible. From your perspective you have no reason to believe a head turn saved him.

I see what you're saying but no, you can hear the bullet (I think?) whizz by. You also see Trump react by reaching up and grabbing his ear after something buzzed by at a million MPH. Again there is the photo of the bullet in mid-air too. I think he turned his head, felt/heard the bullet zip by, maybe it even hit a hair on the edge of his ear! But I don't think his ear was shot for the reasons laid out earlier. Maybe we need ABS #baseball.

You should ask TARS.
I have heard a theory that contact with the SS agent as they pulled him down was the cause of the injury
Gemini:
That theory did circulate online in the immediate aftermath of the shooting, along with other rumors involving teleprompter glass or staged blood capsules. However, it is demonstrably false based on the visual evidence from the event.The timeline of the video and photographic evidence completely rules out the possibility that a Secret Service agent caused the injury:
- The Chronology of the Flinch: Video footage of the rally clearly shows Trump reacting to the projectile before any agents touch him. He winces, brings his right hand up to his right ear, looks at his hand (which already has blood on it), and then drops to the ground on his own accord.
- The Swarm Happened Later: The Secret Service agents did not make physical contact with Trump until after he was already crouching behind the podium. Because he was bleeding before the agents tackled him, the injury could not have been caused by their gear, watches, or physical impact during the dogpile.
- Photographic Evidence: High-shutter-speed photographs taken by photojournalists, most notably Doug Mills of The New York Times, captured the exact moment of the shooting. One frame shows the vapor trail of a bullet passing inches from Trump's head right as he is beginning to reach for his ear, corroborating that the injury was caused by a projectile in the air, not a subsequent physical altercation.
In chaotic, high-profile events, it is very common for alternate theories to fill the information vacuum before the dust settles. However, in this case, the synchronized video, audio, and photographic evidence—coupled with the FBI and medical reports—prove the injury occurred before the Secret Service intervened.

I didn't realize he had blood on his hand before he crouched down. The videos I've seen I don't show any blood until after he gets up from the secret service scrum. If there is blood prior to that then I am for sure wrong. I'll see if I can find the video that shows no blood, but I saw it a while ago.

Here’s a blossoming conspiracy:
Grillmair's name has surfaced for weeks as being part of a cluster of deaths and disappearances of scientists working for the U.S. government or adjacently in academia that have been deemed suspicious by online sleuths.
This week, officials from Donald Trump's administration and his Republican Party confirmed they will investigate.

@Renauda LOL
And in other news, a majority of people who voted for Ronald Reagan for US president are now dead, some under mysterious circumstances.
