Pennsylvania assassination attempt: Drama or Trump propaganda ploy?

The incident in which the former president of the United States and the current candidate of the Republican Party, Donald Trump, was injured while addressing an election campaign meeting in Pennsylvania last Saturday has raised many questions among politicians and social media users.

Video footage showed multiple gunshots during Trump's speech, as well as blood dripping from his right ear.

After the videos were released, political analysts and social media users began to analyze what happened and express different views about what happened, and whether it was a drama or a real assassination attempt?

Some analysts have described what happened as a drama orchestrated by the Trump camp to improve his chances of winning the next US presidential election in November this year.

They have bolstered their argument with several facts, including that after a series of shots, only one "scratched" Trump's ear, after which he left the campaign rally with his hand raised and cheered by his supporters.

One of the social media users has said that the bullet used to injure Trump's ear was probably made of plastic and that, if he had been shot with a real bullet, it would have torn his ear, and the sound of the bullet itself would have affected his hearing for a long time, not just a few seconds.

On the other hand, some observers have opposed that point of view, saying that what happened to Donald Trump was a real assassination attempt, and the evidence is that the first bullet passed near his ear, and the second one hit his bulletproof vest.

The United States Department of Investigation (FBI) has confirmed today Sunday that the attack against the former president and current candidate, Donald Trump, in Pennsylvania last evening was an assassination attempt, and that it has identified the shooter who was killed, while the investigation continues.
