Donald Trump has not received a poll boost in the first presidential election survey conducted since the failed assassination attempt on Saturday.
The poll, conducted by Morning Consult of 2,045 registered voters on Monday, reveals that Trump is leading Joe Biden by just one percentage point on 46 percent, compared to the president’s 45 percent. The poll has a margin of error of +/- two percentage points.

The bullet was captured in a photo midflight.

I understand why you’d suspect this was a false flag, but it really seems like it wasn’t.
I don’t believe it was false flag, particularly because it is really easy to hit by mistake if you take a shot like that, but it is still intriguing that trump got out in the open to pose for his photo and exposing himself if there were a second or third shooters out there… but the simple explanation is that he is not smart enough to have considered that :)
The Pod Save America ep from today discussed this, Jon Lovett said that Trump has often talked about being a target in a public place and may well have thought about what he would do in that moment. ‘hes a showman’.
I mean, someone quite literally did capture the bullet itself:
is that even the bullet that him? it looks to low to hit the top of his ear
That’s the perspective screwing you up, its hitting the ear on the other side of his head. Compare to where the bandage is on OP
I was thinking that it might be blood carried by the bullet.
On a side note, I wonder if that hat is bulletproof or something, it looks so weird.
