My apology if this has been covered already.
Why has there not been a release of a Doctor's report on Trump's ear wound?
This seems weird. Some people ( google it, or youtube it, easy to find ) are
saying that they don't think a bullet hit him, that it was shards of glass from the
equipment on the dais. Obviously, bullets were fired, as 1 person died shielding his
family.
Something seem fishy ??
Taxpayers are paying for the entourage of security that travels with these candidates,
we are entitled to some information.

While it's a "non-partisan agency", I bet 80% of Secret Service agents identify as Republicans. It wouldn't be hard to staff Trump's security detail with partisan loyalists. There's a good chance Trump was hit with glass shrapnel from the protective screen around the podium rather than a bullet.

So for 4 years you've been 100% uninterested in anything medically related to Joe Biden.
But now...they're all the rage!

What difference does it make? Either way, he was injured in an assassination attempt, where two others were also injured and one died.
While I haven't heard this one before, it has hallmarks of a conspiracy theory. The main one being that someone is hiding information from the general public, while someone else has uncovered the "truth" - via this conspiracy theory. I would not waste any time with this.

None. People will believe what they want.
For example, there is no evidence that was a "political assassination" or a "terrorist act". The perpetrator seems to be a "school shooter" looking to go out in a blaze of glory rather than someone with a political agenda. Trump was just another victim of a random crazy person with easy access to a high powered firearm, as Republican gun policy promotes and preserves. I don't see anything heroic in it -- just reaping what you sow.

---------------------------------------
There is no conspiracy theory that an assassination attempt did not happen. As I stated,
1 man is dead from bullet(s) meant for Trump. Violent attacks are not how America wants
to settle its internal strife and divisions.
It matters because "strongman" Trump is portraying it as he shrugged off a round from
an ar15 and was out golfing the next day. Personally, I'm rather sick of Trump being able
to spew out bullshat and not be called out for it. This is "smelling" exactly like that.

Glass shards? There didn't to be anything else flying around, other than a bullet whizzing by Trump's head.
Though this makes me ask why there was no protective bullet proof shield around Trump. I guess that's not standard policy for major presidential candidates speaking at open air events. But surely it must be policy for current presidents though, right? And if not, it probably WILL be policy going forward.
