I thought it was real until I checked Snopes yesterday. Many will always think it’s real. Which is a *damn shame*.

What does JD stand for, anyway? Juicy Divan? Jolie Davenport?

I was surprised to see that the WaPo editorial board wrote this nonsense, and not just one of their stable of right-wing loonies.

I’m so glad I didn’t renew my subscription.

The other day, the NBC TV news quoted a letter that Ronny “Candyman” Jackson wrote about t***p’s ear.
.
They said nothing about the lack of an independent medical report, Jackson’s history of lying, or the fact that his medical license expired in 2020 and he hasn’t renewed it (see https://amp.tmz.com/2024/07/20/ronny-jackson-viriginia-medical-license-expire-treating-trump/ )

I call him the Kotex Klansman.

t***p was shot AT: no one knows for certain what happened to his ear. No medical report has come out, 3.5 days later. I hope the FBI looks into it as part of their investigation.

The Daily Beast reports that Butler Memorial Hospital is referring people to the t***p team. I suppose the real doctors can’t speak without t***p’s permission.

@JonChevreau @Nonilex

Serious question: has a statement come out from a real doctor or hospital (not the Candyman type)? The USSS veteran on NBC Saturday night said the protocol was to take t***p to a hospital with a trauma center. Was that done?
.
We still don’t know for certain what hit its ear. No one knows what a bullet “feels like”, so anything t***p says about it is bunk.

You can’t blame people for suspecting a conspiracy when there are so many unanswered questions

@RodneyPetersonTalent @taylorlorenz

It’s a matter of likelihood. The most likely explanation is the obvious one. A false flag op could involve: t***p, the shooter, the PA cop who saw the shooter on the roof and appears to have done nothing about it, and a few dirty USSS agents who were in on it. The shooter would have missed on purpose, but either he was such a bad shot he hit the ear, or the wound was an exploding capsule of saved blood.
.
Far-fetched? Sure. Impossible? No.
.
Repeat: I know that THIS WAS PROBABLY AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT. No condescending replies are necessary, thank you.

1. “BlueAnon” isn’t a real thing.
2. The episode yesterday was so bizarre, it was natural for people to suspect last night that it was a false flag op. t***p would have no qualms about staging one if he could.
