I don't think Trump would get a part of his ear ripped off voluntarily.. his ego it's bigger than the Eiffel tower.

Trump is going to milk this so hard. It's going to be an annoying 4+ months of hearing how he took a bullet for America and shit about "the left's assassination attempt".

You could only hope that in the moment after he came to terms with the fact he is such a piece of human waste that someone almost blew his fucking brains out. That he'll rethink his whole life.

The worst part honestly is that, supposedly, the gunman didn't even hit him at all. I've been seeing reports that the bloody ear was apparently from glass shrapnel from the teleprompter.

El-oh-fuckin-el!

Also heard the shooter was a republican too.
