Not that it really matters, but looks like it wasn’t a bullet that hit him.
We changed the title of the thread as it was initially false. It initially was entitled: "FBI Director: Trump not hit by bullet."

That was pretty clear in the initial reporting. A little Ric Flair razor treatment. Never any threat to Trump. I guess I can’t blame him for trying, but it hasn’t really seemed like the plot has given him a boost in the polls.

You do know that shrapnel kills people all the time, right? In wartime shrapnel tends to kill more people than actual bullets.

It does matter.
1. If he is lying to the FBI, he is obstructing a federal investigation. ( sound familiar?)
2. The truth matters

A $10 intentionally scratched clear lens filter is how Hollywood achieves that fake effect. The photographer's cue was Trump's head turn to signal the shooter to fire at the crowd and M_AGA photograph to capture the fake bullet in fake flight.

Trump would never allow his ear to be cut. A tiny pack of fake movie blood squirted on his ear was enough. There was no blood splattered on Trump's hair behind his ear. No follicle or strand was disrupted. Massive fake job, not even worthy of a Ed Wood movie.

Did he say Trump was not hit by a bullet, or did he question whether he was?

Don’t forget keeping his head visible while being escorted by agents in what was supposedly a dangerous situation, then posing for a photo op.

You are exactly right. The guy is a POS. He is always brought in for questioning, never answers actual questions, says he has no idea about anything, says he will have to find stuff out and get back with everyone, but yet randomly throws it out that it might not have been a bullet. I hope Trump fires this guy when he's elected. He's a disgrace.

Excellent, so Trumpian.
Ed Wood films were "marred by bad writing, bad acting, and a stunning depth and breadth of technical ineptitude. His only skill as a director seemed to lie in convincing investors that his next picture was going to be a smash hit."

Shrapnel took down my father-in-law’s B-24 over Nazi Germany killing 6 of the 10 man crew.

Yeah. But nobody lied about it. That’s the point

That's nothing. Let me tell you about this school they came up with called "Trump University". Defrauded students, another in a line of failed businesses. Sad.

If you watch the video, the bullet that is miraculously caught on camera is the one that he immediately reacts to, grimacing and grabbing at his ear. As that bullet passed, he was hit by something.
But, as you look at the trajectory of that bullet in relation to where his right ear would be, it is clear that the bullet could not have struck his ear. The bullet is far too low.
So, it is probably going to come out that it hit something (the teleprompter to his right, perhaps), and sent shrapnel flying at him, as it whizzed past. He was cut. There was no WWE self-cutting for effect. That is stupid.
Either way, both sides should, and I believe do, agree that this is a tragic event, a complete failure by Secret Service, and something we should hope never happens again.
Why some (those who came out hard against the FBI Director) are so adamant that Trump was hit by a bullet, I have no idea. He survived an assassination attempt either way, and we all should want a complete investigation that yields truth over myth making.

The (left-leaning) website Snopes.com has an article debunking the “shattered teleprompter” theory. Google it & read it.
If you look at the multiple photos & videos of the incident, neither teleprompter shows any damage following the shots.

I wonder what he'd think of your military-bashing Trump cult mentality. "What the fvck were we fighting and dying for?"
