A little math, that makes you go hmm:

Trump was 140 yards away from the shooter
The difference in rotating the gun in the horizontal plane and hitting his ear versus hitting his 8" diameter head centered is 0 degrees, 2 minutes, 43.5472 seconds
If the gun is 36" long, and it is against the shooters shoulder, then if the shooter kept the gun at the same position against his shoulder, and pulled the barrel .027" right, it's a center shot. .027" is right at two-thirds of a millimeter.

Diameter of #2 pencil lead is three times that.

If you believe this is glass you really are an idiot - the teleprompters weren’t damaged

The ear on the side of his hat shown would be his left. He was shot in his right ear.

If his right ear was facing the audience behind him when he was shot, then how come the video is showing his ear in the opposite direction of the audience?

Damn, you and all of the downvoters must not have noticed the rolling of the eyes in that post. It was obviously sarcasm.

I’m very skeptical about this video.

It would have to be taken by someone almost directly behind Trump, maybe a little off his right shoulder.

The girl in the background seems too close to Trump and on the same level. He was up on a platform so that doesn’t seem plausible. Everyone in front of him was several feet lower than him.

Gah I was making fun of the idiots who said it was glass from the teleprompter. They are fricking idiots.

This makes zero sense. In the original video that everyone has seen, that same female is behind Trump but TRUMP is looking to the right, but here in this video, that same female is in the same position behind TRUMP, but he's looking to his left.

This seems to be fake, at least to me.

Depends

When we zero a rifle, we use a 25 yard bullseye. At 25 yards, it is dead on. At 100 yards it is 1" high. At 200 yards it is bullseye.

That is a 150 grain 30.06, 7 mm, or .270 Mag!!

There is just something cartoonish about the area around the back of Trump's head.

It’s confirmed fake. They mirrored the original video which has the girl on his right

Turns his head wrong way and scrunches the wrong way

45-47 is on the right ear side as well, not the flag

Also hear an Indian’s voice in the video. scamming
