It my non-professional opinion, based on press reports about the babies from Sandy Hook, who thankfully did not suffer, it does not seem possible that there was a hole through Trumps ear and that he is still alive. He doesn't have sticking out ears. And his former WH doctor said no cartilage was damaged. So the injury is obviously skin.Just my opinion, looking at the first pictures of Trump's bloody ear, it looked to me like he had either something round stuck in the upper edge of his ear or a hole in his ear. When objects break, they usually aren't perfectly round. I don't see a ragged piece of glass or shrapnel making a perfectly round hole.
Also, I don't remember seeing any reports of anything being broken by bullets that the shrapnel or glass could have come from.
Add this to the picture of the bullet whizzing by Trump's head at the level of his ear for further proof.
The ME at Sandy Hook said that the ammo used with an assault rifle is especially pernicious and designed to cause internal damage once it penetrates. It doesn't neatly go through people.
OTOH, it seems like broken glass or something similar would manage to injure more people superficially, or injure Trump in more than one place. It just doesn't seem to me like only one shard of something would be launched and hit one human in one place. I suppose it is possible that that it was some shard of something, but I think there would be more bits of that something about, and more injuries from it. I think it was a bullet that zipped by Trumps ear so closely that it broke his skin. Yet, it luckily did not even break cartilage or cut him enough to need stitches.
I know somebody who was shot at from a long distance while riding his bike. He could feel the bullet go by, but he wasn't hit. I don't recall the type of gun though. I have to ask him. The police felt it was a random gang initiation attempted murder. (We watch you kill; we know you won't snitch.) He told me he felt like it almost gave him a burn like injury. Yet He was not visibly injured.
It makes me think, maybe the bullet was even closer to Trump and injured his skin just barely touching, or maybe even almost touching.
I imagine the FBI is very interested in counting bullets, shells, and finding landing points. I have a feeling Wray has investigators trying to account for every round, and they are probably intellectually frustrated that Trumps injury does not definitively tell them that it was a bullet. But of course, if it were obvious, it would mean the injury would be worse, so in that way, the mystery is a very good mystery.
