The biggest reason I have my doubts it was staged is I don’t think Trump’s competent enough to stage an assassination attempt that well. His ear could plausibly have been grazed by a bullet enough to make it bleed like that, but not leave any scarring. His ear looks intact even right after it happened:
If it was staged, it’s the most uncharacteristically competent thing he’s ever done.
Trump was literally on professional wrestling where they cut their ears with razors to fake more serious injuries. Faking an assassination by bleeding his ear a bit is the most plausible scenario. He healed in days with no visible damage because it wasn’t a bullet it was a tiny cut. Maybe because he was taking advantage of a legit attempt, maybe because it was staged, I won’t comment on that but this had to have been kayfabe.
I happened to see a photo of his right side the other day and noticed that there is a little nick in the outer part of his ear cartilage, right about where the darkest red part is on this photo. And there’s that photo of the bullet going past his head where he grabs his ear and there’s blood on his fingers. I’m guessing that the bullet was close enough that maybe the air around it caused a wound? But there’s no way a bullet full-on hit his ear.
Regardless, I agree that it wasn’t staged. Just not as bad of a wound for him than they want us to believe (can’t say the same for the volunteer fireman, though…)
Ask yourself who could stage this and who would have the most to gain by doing and you will see what Isrealy going on behind the scenes. It was staged.

Either fake or debris from the teleprompter hit his ear.

Because Roger Stone had no obligation to include the president. It was actually better the less he knew.
Doesn’t look like the usual earpiece to me. Or a regular ear.
What a substantial and wel worded rebuttal. Regardless, what’s your take then: Oddly shaped ear? Inflammation?
I’ll follow your initial post that he’s too incompetent to pull something like that off, but how much would he be running himself?

Maybe. But I choose to apply Occam’s razor to this one.
