Donald Trump, speaking on Truth Social, recounted his experience of surviving what he described as an assassination attempt. He claimed that a bullet had pierced his ear, causing it to bleed. However, according to RawStory, law enforcement officials have reportedly informed two sources that Trump was not struck by a bullet but by shards of glass instead.
Reports from Newsmax’s Alex Salvi and Axios’ Juliegrace Brufke indicate that officials mentioned Trump was hit by glass fragments, possibly from a teleprompter shattered by bullets. The details remain unclear, as Trump himself described the incident as being struck by a bullet.
In a statement, Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, said, “I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong as I heard a whizzing sound, followed by shots, and felt the bullet tearing through my skin. There was much bleeding, so I realised then what was happening.” The 78-year-old added this after being rushed to a local hospital.
Some critics of Trump have suggested that the attack was staged. Despite Trump claiming he felt something like a bullet tearing through his flesh, some people have stated that the incident was faked. The 78-year-old was addressing his followers from a podium in Butler, Pennsylvania, when chaos suddenly erupted. Trump stood up, raised his fist to the crowd, with blood visibly dripping from his ear. However, images suggest that there was no blood on his shirt and that it coagulated immediately.

Is Trump responding to the first or secondary snipers?
Who can trust anything they say anymore?
