    Yes, the network that had to pay nearly a billion dollars for pushing a false narrative in order to get Trump elected the last time around is the perfect venue. Oh, and a live Fox News audience? What could be bad about that?

    What a joke.

          I was thinking Kamala. Never know with those idiots though. lol

          Side note: Did you happen to see the close ups of Trump’s ear at the ABJ convention? Shit was on FULL DISPLAY and didn’t look shot at all. 🤔

            Ask anyone who wears earrings, ears heal fast. (That said, I expect he only had a scratch.)

              Not from a bullet wound, they don’t.

              I still maintain that he got a scratch from a shard of the teleprompter at worst, and has been milking it for all it’s worth.

                A 2cm graze wound is different from a 2 cm penetrating wound. Even that fact can be misleading.

            Because it wasn’t. That blood was the spatter from an actual victim behind him. He has been pretending to have been shot, without any actual injury of any kind.

              How could the blood have been from the other victim? They were no where near that close to Trump. They would have had to have been on the stage with him lol

                Blood spatter can travel quite a long distance. The shooting victim was in the crowd immediately behind Trump at what looks to be about 15-20 feet away. If he was that close, a high velocity projectile could create spatter that could reach the podium.

                  Apply Occam’s razor here. Of course he’s milking it for all its worth, but he got hit by something. Bullet graze, shrapnel graze, shattered glass graze, whatever it was it did hit him.

                    I’m not completely convinced. There is no visible evidence of an injury. There has been no public release of info regarding the specific nature of the injury or the injury’s exact size or location. The next day, he appeared in public with a bizarre, fake-looking bandage. And the day after that there was no visible mark at all.

                    He is world-famous for lying and it is physically possible that it’s not his blood. Without some solid evidence, I’m just not convinced he was actually injured. He is absolutely the kind of person who would pretend a real victim’s blood is his own if it will bring him some media attention.
