IIRC this was debunked, there's image of the bullet trail going past his ear. There was also no screen nearby that launched shrapnel in his direction iirc.

Video of a bullet paint behind his head from the perspective of a the camera doors not prove it hit him. Sorry

Factcheck showing no images or video of broken glass nearby: https://www.yahoo.com/news/fact-check-rumor-shards-glass-232900180.html

FBI also confirmed the bullet lightly grazed him: https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/07/30/congress/no-doubt-trump-was-hit-by-bullet-00171861

(Paywalled) NYT analysis also suggests it was a bullet: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/26/us/politics/trump-shooter-bullet-trajectory-ear.html

Independent forensic experts also weighed in stating it's extremely unlikely it wasn't a bullet:

Diaczuk echoed the Times’ findings, pointing out that there were no objects between Crooks and Trump that logically could have created flying debris, and that the podium and seats behind Trump happened to be positioned in such a way that the laws of physics made it unlikely he was hit by a fragment of either, he told The Independent.

Do you have any evidence that shows where the supposed glass shrapnel came from? I understand not liking Trump (I detest him too), but come on. It was an assassination attempt, he was very lightly grazed by the bullet.

Because the FBI has never said something to support him before. Their "what else could it have been" is not actual confirmation.

It was either shrapnel from something nearby, or the USSS hip checked him with their holster. He was not struck by a bullet.

Nice proof there?

Wray initially came out saying it was still unclear if Trump was hit. After investigation it was concluded he was.

I cited sources and showed evidence, you haven't shown anything. Either find some proof for your assertions or admit you were wrong.

There was nothing in between Crooks and Trump that was hit and could have launched shrapnel at Trump. And it's hilarious to think the USSS "hip-checked" him when we have clear photo evidence of two skin-grazings on his ear.
