'Its bizarre': Reporter, doctor question nature of injuries Trump suffered in shooting
...
Since the July 13 attack, there has been much discussion of the shooter, the response of U.S. Secret Service agents, and the nature of the injury Trump suffered.
In a July 18 post on X, formerly Twitter, Dr. Jonathan Reiner a professor of medicine at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. writes, "It's an understatement to say that it's bizarre that a presidential candidate has sustained an injury from an attempted assassination and no medical report is issued to describe his evaluation and the extent of his injury."
Journalist Brian Beutler, in response, tweeted, "My read: If the medical evaluation matched Trump's description, he would have OK'd its release. He wants the cred of having been shot; being shot *at* and lightly injured incidentally isn't good enough for him. So as always he chose a lie and a coverup."

Exactly. I've been waiting for the medical details all week for this very reason.

They'll fire the woman that heads the Secret Service and it will never be talked about again

I don't care what the F he was hit by and quite frankly had grown weary of the all the speculation by day two.
