-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

New word is that Trump's injury is due to shards of glass and he may not have been shot
Can I get a source? I can't find anything.
Sorry, I saw it on a stream and forgot who the tweet was by. News hasn't said "he was shot" though just that he is injured, so there isn't confirmation yet that it was a bullet that hit him.
It was false, trump confirms he was hit by a bullet on truth social
I'm not sure if someone can tell what they're being shot with. I have no idea where the glass would from so I believe it
People were saying from the teleprompter? But ya, it's a chaotic seen and hard to know. All he could tell was sound of bullets followed by something hitting his ear.
It only matters because if it was a bullet, that fucker missed by only an inch. If it was by glass from nearby then they weren't that close to actually killing him
The initial report phase seems over. I think we'll need to wait till investigations come out.
But also, his statement was from after being treated so I imagine they know
