    Shot at the former president. He missed. The cut was from a shard of glass from a missed shot.

        I just spent a while googling it, and nothing looks conclusive at all. But looks like Snopes has it as false as least.

        But as far as the downvote, just saying “you’re wrong” is not helpful in the slightest. Maybe include a source, or even just an explanation that there was some early misinformation going around, and doesn’t look likely at moment.

          His reaction pretty much confirmed that it was a bullet. He touched his ear because he felt something and then he heard a noise. The brain took a while to make sense of it.

          If a monitor exploded in front of him, he would’ve heard it before feeling the shrapnel and reacted completely different.

              I’m sorry but first you are spreading false information and then you are telling the person who corrects you that they ought to provide you with sources to debunk your claims. You just seem like a lot of work for other people, now all these arguments
