    That’s the point I started to wonder: He grabs his ear, lowers his hand, and there’s nothing on it. Not even a tiny bit of blood on his tiny little hand.

    I’ve never been allegedly hit in the ear, but most head wounds bleed immediately, and profusely.

    Still, in this post do we know we’re looking at the right side of his big fat head? Photos are easily mirrored.

      In the moments after a traumatic wound the blood vessels will momentarily contract before releasing again. I’ve cut myself before and had it take a few moments before it starts bleeding. Not saying this isn’t really sus, just that the specific thing you mentioned isn’t a (pardon the pun) smoking gun.

        Yeah I give myself intramuscular injections and finding the hole takes a second because it doesn’t bleed immediately

      Photos are easily mirrored but Trump’s hairstyle is reliably Trump’s right to Trump’s left. So this alleged photograph is definitely of Trump’s right ear.

      With the AP seeming to withdraw this photograph, there’s some controversy at play here. But AP is a well respected news brand. Surely they’d write about a story if they found something here.
