I think it's a Sci-Fi Parallel Inquiry because these high publicity seeking repubs believe it's a democratic conspiracy they're investigating because no one else will.
I find it interesting that trump really isn't ranting about the investigation at all... seems strange, doesn't it? No demands for answers to why a kid decides to kill him.
I don't go in for conspiracies... but something about that whole incident still smells fishy to me...
And still waiting for an official medical report from the hospital and the attending doctors. It's unprecedented that that information hasn't been presented concerning a candidate for high office.
@tgraph52 I have questions... @QueenOfEverything
Agreed, this wasn't a "conspiracy." But there are still two options: it was a real attempt by a 20 year old kid with no connection to trump or it was a staged assassination to bring major media attention to trump right before the RNC.
If you were shot would you want Ronny Jackson bandaging your ear BEFORE you arrived at the hospital? Trump demanded all hospital personnel sign NDAs. They didn't, but agreed to release NO information. Only trump (not his team) will speak.
Taking trump at his word is a fool's game.
But when trump has banned all other sources- he's the only one who can talk about the AA (assassination attempt)- that's FOOLISH.
Also- taxpayers pay for candidates protection. We deserve to know what evidence has turned up- damage to the ear, motives, why folks had to call to alert SS/police of shooter with his own ladder up on the roof!
This isn't some traffic violation that can be waived off bc he's a politician...
How exactly does he forbid the medical team to speak?
@tgraph52 @QueenOfEverything @gemswinc
My thought, HIPAA compliance.
@Gladari @QueenOfEverything @gemswinc
That's probably correct. I know I signed a bunch of HIPAA rules and regs, for my work.
@QueenOfEverything @Gladari @gemswinc
The public has a right to know if there are any medical issues involving a candidate that might affect his ability to perform the functions of the job he seeks. Various medical professionals said that a gunshot, or whatever, to the ear might have other after-effects,
I've tried to track down a newspaper article that came out during this even- can't find it. Essentially it said that when trump got to the hospital, everyone was expected to sign his NDAs and that he wanted to hold a press conference at the hospital. The doctors would be there, but only trump would give the information.
Doctors said no to the NDAs and the press conference. Did agree to release no information about anything.
All of which increases my suspicions... 😀
@tgraph52 @QueenOfEverything @gemswinc Too bad someone doesn’t want to leak a little info. My guess about the NDA is more about preserving his (self) perception that he’s trim & fit.
But I would like to know how it healed up so miraculously.
@ATXJane @QueenOfEverything @gemswinc
It's a bit surprising that nothing had leaked. At all.
@tgraph52 Yes, it's gone away. Admittedly much has happened since, but still.. @ATXJane @QueenOfEverything
@QueenOfEverything @ATXJane @gemswinc
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks we need to dig deeper into the alleged assassination attempt.
well, there was one tantalizing tidbit that a series of x-rays were taken of his head...
reporters asked why... no answers.
remember the chatter about damage that could impair brain functioning if the bullet actually did hit his ear?
then came the idea that it was a piece of glass or plastic from the teleprompter...
then the FBI said they had all the bullets/shells acounted for- if one hit trump's ear- there would be blood, right.
next FBI said not a bullet
The FBI said it may not have been a bullet that his trump's ear...
Trump had a temper tantrum and insisted that it was a bullet.
So 2 days later FBI said it was a bullet.
@QueenOfEverything @tgraph52 He is two asses 😁
@QueenOfEverything @gemswinc @tgraph52 I honestly thought something like that would happen within 12 months of him leaving the White House. I don’t support violence for any reason in politics but I’m not sure if it was a real attempt. Ears don’t bleed enough to have splashed across his face and anywhere else. Especially from a graze on the lobe. I’ve seen earrings ripped out with less blood.
@SatuUnelmia @gemswinc @tgraph52
Ha! I thought the same thing! I remember in high school, PE girl's basketball game and a girl had a dangly earring that caught on another girl's sleeve- ripped out of her ear... and BLOOD EVERYWHERE!
there were no longer any earrings worn in PE after that experience.
It drove me crazy trying to figure out how those 2 streaks of blood on the front of his face came from a bloody ear that wasn't bleeding.
@QueenOfEverything It's a constant barage of lies and mistrust. I'm worn out with it, as we all are
I wish George Orwell was still alive. I think he's the one person that could have exposed trump. He's written about the character in multiple books. I pulled these out of my bookshelf when trump ran for president.
We were so sure we survived 1984... Orwell was just way ahead of his time... the really scary year for us is 2024!
@gemswinc wow
