thewayneThis is interesting. The shooter only got off eight rounds before a POLICE SNIPER - NOT SECRET SERVICE - got a round off AFTER CHARGING THE SHOOTER! and shot the shooter's rifle! It damaged the rifle and knocked him from his perch. As soon as the shooter regained his perch, the Secret Service sniper shot and killed him.

It's possible that the weird guy is suffering from PTSD from the attempt on his life, which is hardly surprising. Insiders report he's obsessively watching the seven second clip of him coming within an inch or so of getting killed. He's also severely cut back his barn storming and is tying to arrange for indoor venues instead of outdoor, where he was nearly killed.
The problem with indoor venues, of course, is he's stiffed so many of them without pay, that the good ones won't have him without full payment up front plus full arrears. He owes the City of El Paso, Texas over half a million dollars, and he owes venues across the country. This greatly limits the places he can appear indoors.
If he were smart, he'd be seeing someone about his mental health RIGHT NOW, as it's best addressed ASAP. But as we know, he's not smart, he's clever at manipulating people, and those aren't the same thing. He can't remotely be honest about something like how he's feeling and what he's experiencing with a therapist, so it's likely to get worse.

The City of Palm Beach might close Mar-a-Laugho.
The Secret Service has closed the road leading to the weird guy's residence/country club since the assassination attempt, yet events continue, and say the road will remain closed at least through Election Day. The City is of the opinion that 'if the road is closed, the resort is closed' and may force it completely closed.
If that happens, no more events. Zero cash flow. Zero golfers. Zero sycophants coming in to suck up to the weird guy.
That would hurt more than his ear getting a boo-boo. I would love to hear the screams and see the Jackson Pollack Hamburger/Ketchup installation if that happens when he gets news of it.

My opinion. We don't have definitive reports as to what happened with the shooting. The hospital won't release reports due to HIPAA, as well they shouldn't. The campaign won't release reports as to what the doctors did to treat him. The Secret Service report said that he was hit by 'a bullet or fragment of a bullet'. And anything that Ronnie Jackson says is second-hand: he wasn't there and didn't treat the weird guy.
I think a fragment of a bullet grazed his ear. Had it been a real bullet on a hypersonic ballistic path, he wouldn't have had a minor little boo-boo that left his ear looking perfect a week or so later. The shock wave might have left him deaf in that ear.
He got lucky. And he's still an idiot.

I find it utterly ridiculous that there weren't one or two uniforms on top of every building in the immediate vicinity to rule out the possibility of a sniper, but we know security had some serious problems that day for a variety of reasons. And you're right, most anyone else the records would have leaked. Most likely he's threatened to try to sue the hospital and chain and doctors and nurses out of existence it they leak, just like his university if his education records leak.
