I call it a fake picture!

if you are following the attempted assassination of Trump, you might have seen the still picture of Trump with the path of the bullet to the right of his head. If you look at it closely, it is way below the top of his right ear. In addition to that, his hand is raised at the same time. Now compare that with the actual video. His hand is not NOTraised when you hear the pop and then see him reach up to his ear. Something doesn’t seem right! What say you?.

I don't believe a single word the media spews regardless of a blue or red bias. They take every opportunity to lie, polarize, and inflame and America is harmed every time by their greed and narcissism.
That's what I say.

This sums it up nicely. The media sets this up, incites the extremists, and works 24-7-365 to undermine America.
We are a broken country. There is no accountability anymore. And it's only gonna get worse before it gets better.
Stock up. Patriots needed.

Th alleged bullet in the picture might not be the one that hit him.
Supposedly the attacker only got off one shot. The sound of other shot were of the SS snipers neutralizing the threat.
^^^^this^^^^
The shooter fired at least 3 rounds. I imagine that pic is from the second shot.
Too many variables to say one way or another. If an expert on photography says the photo can't happen then it's another matter.
Now they are claiming the SS only fired ONE round. IF you believe them, then the rest were fired by the crazy person. At this point, I dont believe anything the SS says. Apparently they couldnt secure that roof because it was slopped, per the head of the SS. What an idiot, she should be fired and prosecuted immediately! The snipers WERE in fact on a slopped roof.
My 2 cents is that the 3 shots heard first were the shooter, one grazed Trump, one left the so called vapor tail, and third one hit a rally goer. It is even possible the grazing bullet hit a bystander. One report if anything to it, shooter had a can on his firearm.
The first 3 shots sounded almost identical.
"One report if anything to it, shooter had a can on his firearm."
If so, it wasn't a very good one.
At the very least, it was subsonic ammo. Did sound muffled.
High seed ammo through a can is muffled but still loud enough to be heard at most distances.
The 223/5.56 is almost leaving the muzzle at mach 3.
Hunt with a canned .308. Still a bit noisy.
"High seed ammo through a can is muffled but still loud enough to be heard at most distances."
It's not the sound of the BULLET, it's the muzzle blast that suppressed.
ANY super sonic bullet carries with it a 'signature' as it moves through the air—just like a super sonic airplane's sonic boom. How loud that is depends on shape of the 'projectile', distance from ear, and weather/air conditions.
Even if you don't hear the muzzle blast from a distance, you'll hear the 'hiss-pop' (that's the best way I can describe the sound of a close miss) of the passing bullet. Game animals/varmints are often deceived by the sound of a miss(or the bullet striking ground or vegetation beyond) from a suppressed rifle and may run toward the shooter rather than away.
