Newsweek He has faced strong backlash on social media after downplaying the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump by suggesting he was only hit by a bullet, rather than a full bullet.
of Newsweek article the title is “Maybe Donald Trump didn’t get shot after all”
Newsweek attempts to justify the title by citing testimony from FBI Director Christopher Wray, in which Wray said, “With regard to former President Trump, there is a question as to whether it was a bullet or shrapnel that struck his ear.”

For those who care about the meaning of the word, “shrapnel” refers to fragments of a bullet or, on the battlefield, pieces of a weapon or other weapon used to kill or injure an enemy.
Merriam-Webster Define “Shrapnel” means 1) “a projectile consisting of a cartridge and a number of lead bullets (usually made of lead) that explode in flight” and 2) “fragments of a bomb, mine, or artillery shell.”
In other words, Trump would have been shot whether he was hit by an intact bullet or by bullet fragments, or shrapnel.

So Kamala was never a border patrol officer, and even though we all watched a gunman shoot Trump in the head on a rooftop with the Secret Service watching, Trump was not actually shot.
Understood. https://t.co/iMWZbMp3jg

According to the media:
Kamala was not emperor of the borders.
Kamala has not been the most liberal U.S. senator.
Kamala did not push for cuts to the police budget.
Kamala is not saying that 18-24 year olds are stupid.
And Donald Trump has never been shot.
You don’t hate these people enough. https://t.co/tq7mFZB2Zl
