Where’s the Bullet?

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

FBI Director Christopher Wray must have read my article. While appearing before Congress which is investigating the reported assassination attempt against Trump on the 13^th, Wray suggested that ‘it may not have been a bullet that struck the tip of Trump’s right ear.’

The day after, I had two questions about what I watched.

First, if it was a bullet, where did it go? This was a high-powered rifle, and if it was a bullet, it would probably have hit someone behind Trump. The soft tip of an ear would not redirect the bullet’s path.

Director Wray believes it might have hit the teleprompter and was redirected. What struck Trump’s ear was likely shrapnel.

Second, if the bullet directly hit the tip of his ear, why did he not recoil? Even an annoying fly results in head movement.

IF TRUMP WAS THE TARGET, HOW DID THE SHOOTER MISS?

Sadly, the assault with a rifle on the 13^th killed one person and injured two more. If Trump was the target, how did the gunman miss a man six-feet-three-inches tall, who weighs about 300 pounds? The entire situation seemed unreal.

Everything could have been what it was when it happened. However, when Trump is involved, there will always be questions. No one trusts a pathological liar.
