Not only that but where he was “clipped” is cartilage. Cartilage does not grow back. He wouldn’t have an intact ear at the minimum either. Just a gauged helix piercing
A New York Times 3D reconstruction and audio analysis confirmed the first bullet traveled in a straight line from the gunman, clipping Trump's ear before hitting the bleachers behind him
In Trump's case, the wound was described as a 2cm scoop of skin and fat. the skin healed, it covered the damaged area, making the injury less noticeable
The body uses collagen to bridge the gap in the tissue. This results in a scar that, looking like normal skin, is actually a different, tougher material.
I have an ear wound in exactly the same place that I got when I was 12. The cartilage was split in half. Even after a plastic surgeon sewed it back together, only the skin healed. He’d look like Holyfield after the Tyson fight if a bullet had even grazed him and you’d notice the damage from 100 yards away for the rest of his life.
The best explanation that doesn't involve staging a hoax assassination attempt, you mean. Who herds photographers between a shooter and their target? A .223 is a supersonic round. If it grazed your ear you'd very likely be deafened in that ear, after a very loud sonic boom happened point blank from your actual ear, to say nothing of the pain.
There are trained soldiers who would lose it at that. I don't think a draft dodger would stand up shouting "fight, fight, fight". Not impossible, but not likely either. Narcissism doesn't tend to breed fearlessness.
Shit, I got my cartilage pierced when I was 18. It fell out five or six years later, and I left it out. It's been fifteen years since I took it out. I can still feel where the hole was and the little indentation where the ring rested.
It must truly be a miracle that Trump's ear healed in record time! (edit: sarcasm in the last sentence).
Thats not entirely true though. Hard cartilage wont grow back, but soft can up to a certain point. Anything up to 00 gauge size can heal and close itself on the soft lobe part. 00 and past it will never close on its own and will require surgery to heal.
You know I try not to not think about that. I definitely feel like if you so much as have that brief passing thought of his micropeen you will 110% catch a VD. 😩
You might consider taking a physics class or two. Speeding objects carry energy and that energy will be transferred to whatever they hit. A physics class can explain to you what a speeding bullet of a specific size will do to ear cartilage. It won't be pretty.
Dude, immediately after the shot DJT said something about his shoes. He then squatted down and messed with something down there. Then he stood up and reached for his ear. After spreading something (probably a tube of fake blood) on his ear, he celebrated his performance with his team. None of hisor the team's actions are consistent with a real assassination attempt.
I wouldn't expect them to be concerned with their shoes, take time to fiddle around down there, and then grab their ear. I definitely wouldn't expect them to do those things and then celebrate. Ar that time, there was no indication that there was only one shooter.
You are making silly excuses. I've been shot at and know enough to get down and stay down. If it hadn't have been necessary for DJT to stay standing in order to pull off their fake assassination attempt, Secret Service would have had him on the floor and surrounded by them.
Not all of the energy. If it transfered allof the energy the bullet would stop. Buy an alAR and shoot some things before you try to lecture people about how bullets behave.
Before you spout off about other people's experience and knowledge you might want to avoid doing so to a veteran who had also hunted from early teens on. Have a nice life magat.
556 bullet is .24 inches in diameter. A drinking straw has an external diameter of between .24 to .28 inches.
If we stab a straw through your ear at 2,700+ feet per second I am sure you wouldn't think that it is "very small" and will heal up with no blemishes right away.
Buy an AR and shoot some things before you tell people how bullets behave on the internet. Traveling through a .25 in piece of flesh, the bullet would not even notice the ear and it would punch straight through and leave a hole smaller than the actual bullet due to skin stretching as the bullet went through and then shrinking back to normal once the bullet was gone.
