 I'll send you 150,000 sats if you can prove that photo was taken after the assassination attempt  
 Bro was TV yesterday with no discernible damage to his ear. I couldn’t believe it. It was killing me. 
 The plane says Vance on it. Vance was appointed as VP after the shooting (I believe July 16). The “assassination attempt” happened on the 13th. 

Here is a link with another dated picture on it too:

 Every article I found talking about the Vance appointment was dated 7/15. Looks like you’ve proven the photo was post shooting MAHDOOD. Don’t Welch Dan.

 Dan rn 😂 https://image.nostr.build/76a99a5dfd34044224335197e920fa20f71d28487a125cbed5d8659269097281.gif  
 Lmao sorry I'm not glued to my phone 
 Wow thank you. I appreciate you keeping to your word 🤝 
 I'll take the L as a lesson 🤝

But gotta say... They never claimed it blew his ear off. They never claimed it was bad because of the bodily damage it did to Trump. And if you've ever cut or punctured your head/scalp you'd know it bleeds a TON. These pictures don't prove anything, other than that I shouldn't make 150k sat bets without first doing some googling 😂

 Not sure why you sent it, he only proved a completely different picture was real which is even more suspicious lol 
 Using his link unplugged in the image ID from his original post and it pulled up the correct photo with a timestamp from yesterday. So you're right he didn't technically prove the first photo, but I did using what he sent. I'll take the L, it's all good  
 Really had you doing the legwork here lol 
 I think Dan wanted the truth more than “winning” a bet 
 lmao doing a terrible job at should have been a simple issue of proving a picture still doesnt prove trump wasnt shot. your conspiracy makes no sense and requires only doing about five seconds of thinking on the topic 
 Mushroom guy playbook: Ignore all evidence presented and physical / physiological realities. Insist I need psilocybin instead 😂😂

The deluded states people can get into when they let their beliefs shape reality instead of letting reality shape their beliefs will never cease to amaze me. 
 Why would mushrooms help? Do they change the nature of reality? No. They just change the way you perceive reality. Maybe that’s why this shroomhead believes this shit 😂 
 Believe me, I feel just as strongly as you that's it's a silly conspiracy, but I made an emotional bet/response before I did my own research, and that's on me. 

Nobody ever claimed it blew his ear off. The amount of blood I saw live completely makes sense with a cut or nick on your head/ear and/or bullet grazings in general. 

So don't think me paying up means I buy into the conspiracy, because I definitely do not (and I say that as a very conspiratorially minded person!)  
 Also look at this goblin 😂😂😂 https://image.nostr.build/efba2bbb3e76e4a550b4f2cb44e79c8487ca229b92b2ad910f388412a2dac81c.jpg  
 That’s the face of freedom. Orange man is a hero 😂 🦅 
 PROVE HES NOT A HERO 
 What do you meannnnn? Orange man said the other party is evil and I don’t like the other party which makes orange man a hero it’s simple math 
 Ok that's not the photo, but I did find the photo you posted. Looks like it is his right ear. 
 Wow that's a massive zap!  
 I think the guy is used to wearing enough makeup to puddy over it. He probably isn't gonna walk around with a visible scab or misfigured ear, not really his style. 
 Bullet should’ve taken a chunk of his ear off. Why cover the scar with makeup when people wanna see the actual damage? If there is a scar someone will catch a picture of it eventually 
 I looked at the other ap photos of the day and watched an interview with another photographer who captured photos of the bloody ear who described what he saw on close ups of the photos. It appears slightly grazed in two places across the middle of the upper ear. In the newer photo there may be a slight discoloration where the grazing could be. 

I think saying there should be more damage and therefor now not seeing damage some how means he wasn't shot at all is a bit confusing. If there is damage it doesn't matter if it will eventually be seen. My point is the guy has a huge ego and clearly makes a lot of effort in his appearance. Its hollywood, easy to touch up an ear.  
 This is what I would expect from a bullet grazing your ear https://image.nostr.build/a7a93554928bdad42f9831c476c7d81b21fc3e86306ba5eaf266fb5f166ce453.jpg  
 Yes but this is what appears to be the extent of his wounds. It doesn't need to be extensive to be an important event.

 Assuming it was an actual wound. These people are liars. Why should we trust them? https://image.nostr.build/50ae82803d0323aa3ff5a45bb56ad631c54780eacdb2c93b4f3dc5ab53c6c3de.jpg  
 So don't trust photo of wound but do trust photo of no wound..and also at the same time Trump and SS colluded to kill a bystander while he wwf'd his own ear?

Or how about he got slightly grazed and uses makeup a few weeks later because he is vain. 

 
 Have you ever shot a gun before? A bullet grazing your ear would rip a chunk off.

Feds have killed innocent people before to get people scared and emotional. 

There are plenty of other pictures of his ear that I’ve shared with no wound. Also the vain argument is silly because you can easily argue the flip side: he is so vain that he would actually show off how bad the scar was. This would get more people to simp for him. But saying that it was just a scratch and that somehow trump is using cosmetics to cover it up is major cope. 
 I am here for the conspiracy fun. I have no cope. And yes I have shot plenty of guns. You keep wanting there to be some huge wound. Are you arguing he colluded with SS to kill bystanders?  
 No I’m not arguing that. We don’t even know for a fact that people actually died but that doesn’t prove or disprove anything. I don’t know who did all this or why. I just don’t believe the narrative they’re putting out there. 
 This "if he was grazed, he'd have a chunk missing" just isn't logical man... It depends on how much flesh was actually hit. It's entirely possible that the cut is very small and able to he covered up with make-up or just not large enough to see if a zoomed in picture. 

This conspiracy has zero credible proof beyond general distrust.  
 What was the caliber and distance there? Was it the same angle and weapon? 
 Not trying to defend anyone here, but after seeing this I went digging myself, found this video of his ear being shot up close, not sure if it's been altered or just blurry cause it's zoomed in. In any case my opinion is that he did get shot in the ear, but that is was very light and some people are exaggerating it. Ears can bleed a lot from a small cut since they are small. Just my 2 sats. https://video.nostr.build/0e38e8787f186129ef0ff8193af0e99a450f2451f38bb1e5bf655f52509246a4.mp4 
 Would not be hard to do that with analog fx equipment that’s standard for film / tv. They knew it’d be filmed and so it had to look like it happened to a reasonable extent. But slight of hand is part of a work. 

The effect on his ear in the video doesn’t match up with the ballistics gel being shot either. Gut feel, the thing feels staged through and through. His reaction. The comical bandage. No evidence of injury whatsoever after the fact. His cavalier attitude after the deep state “tried to murder” him. 

“If it looks like a rat and smells like a rat, it’s a rat” 
 If we were to believe the video is real, it still leaves a big question unanswered. Why doesn’t his ear have a hole in it? 
 I would zap ya, but my zap wallet is empty 😂
