I can't with the Trump ear bandage

Give me a break. Okay so the former president was grazed by a bullet that hit him on the ear in an attempted assassination attempt that @porwest will likely try to blame on Democrats. He was seen with blood on his face after the shot, pumped his fist, and then the Secret Service whisked him away after the attack. Okay. That's normal. The very next day Trump was at his Bedminster golf club and played a round of golf without anything on his ear. Nothing. Did he call the families of the other shooting victims? Nope. He had golf to do. Monday night he showed up the RNC convention in Wisconsin. When he went on stage the bandage was so absurdly large and not applied by a medical professional. Oh he didn't need even a band-aid on Sunday but suddenly on Monday he needed some huge bandage? Give me a break. Today #Kotex is trending on Twitter. It does kind of look like a maxi-pad wrapped around his ear. What kills me is that he was perfectly fine to golf the very next day but he is now trying to act like he had some great wound. His stupid MAGA cult members will fall for it though. They aren't so great with the critical thinking skills.

That giant bandage IS weird and gross. But Trump is a lucky man. That drop of blood surely helped him in his campaign.

What think ye of the “staged shooting” claim? I’m truly on the fence about it, with the rational thinking saying “no way it was staged” and the “devil on my shoulder” saying, “Isn’t this the guy who said he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose a single voter?”

I have no time for stupid conspiracy theory BS. The Secret Service and local police effed up. It wasn't some staged thing.

Trump was lucky. I don't think him brave enough to not flinch while someone shoot him with live bullets. If there was a conspiracy, it was without his knowledge or consent. Alex Jones did mention that the martyrdom of Trump would boost the cause of the Alt. right. Trump to his adoring Maga fans may be their cult leader, but to those behind the scene, he is just their useful idiot.

First of all, I do not assign the actions of others on a person, although I could. When Chuck Schumer pounded his fists at the podium and threatened Justice Kavanaugh that there would be hell to pay and he would pay the price, and an attempt was made on Kavanaugh's life, I could have said he incited this act. When Maxine Waters said that we should never let Republicans go anywhere and anywhere we see them we should harass them, did I blame her directly for inciting people to have people like Sarah Huckabee Sanders and her family refused service at a restaurant? No. When Biden said it was time to put a bullseye on Trump, can I blame that for the actions of Thomas Matthew Crooks? No. Could the entire Democrat party be blamed for the shooter of Scalise at a Congressional baseball game? We don't think like you. Like your side does. People commit acts of their own accord. Just like what happened on J6 after Trump said repeatedly for people to respect the law and protest patriotically and peacefully. As for the bandage, I think it is rather indicative of how deep your hatred goes that it bothers you. The man came literally within millimeters of a different outcome that day. You want to play into an idea that he is begging for sympathies. It makes no sense. I cannot comment any further—your hatred just sickens me. But it is this rampant mentality within the Democrat psyche that only confirms who the real threat to the country and decency and honor and democracy is. That not an ounce of compassion runs through your veins is quite telling.

@porwest why are you so cranky this morning? I'm not nitpicking. Just look at the day by day pictures. I'm glad that Trump wasn't seriously injured. Any sane human feels that way. To show up with such a huge thing on his ear a day after golfing without anything is just stupid. The fact that #Kotex was trending on Twitter demonstrates that I'm not the only person who noticed the absurdity.

@NJChicaa The big question is...who cares? That you would nitpick about a bandage is...I just have no words. Or, at least none I can say here on this platform without being kicked off of it.

@NJChicaa I am not cranky. What I am is tired and worn out at this point at Trump bashing—when a man is nearly assassinated and it's the bandage that bothers you? That's a whole other level of hatred and as you said...I just can't with it.

it's just your kind to go after things like this to get a conversation going SO WHAT if he didn't have a bandage on while gulfing so what if he had 1 on at the rnc what difference does it make? THANK GOD the man is ALIVE & it DIDN'T kill him, OH but wait that's what you were hoping for right?

That bandaid is just as large and gross as he looks especially when he makes all those strange faces. He just wants sympathy,

This is such a trite and boring sci-fiction novel.

Such an A** hole and now Tenacious D have had to cancel all/most of their concerts after an ill-considered joke.
