On July 13, 2024, President Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for the U.S. presidency, narrowly escaped an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The attack was thwarted when Trump instinctively tilted his head at the last moment, resulting in a bullet grazing his ear rather than striking his skull. Many supporters believe this act of evasion was a form of divine protection.
Eleven days after the incident, there remains a lack of transparency from the U.S. government. Emerging details and debunked narratives have led to public skepticism. Reports from Gateway Pundit contributors who visited Butler indicate that there are suspicions the government may have had prior knowledge of the attack. Eyewitness accounts suggest that government snipers observed the shooter as he ascended a 20-yard sloped roof with a rifle, yet did not intervene before he fired several shots at the President. There is also uncertainty regarding the number of bullets fired and the casings recovered, as this information has yet to be released by authorities.
During the Republican National Convention, President Trump appeared on stage with a prominent patch covering his ear, which was reported to be still bleeding intermittently, according to his doctor. The patch drew significant attention.
Recently, Trump participated in a series of interviews. Notably, in photos from one such interview with Black Pine Video, Trump was not wearing the ear patch. These images reveal that his ear remains bruised, although his ear lobe is intact.
