During a recent appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast, former President Donald Trump claimed to have a scar from a shooting incident at a rally on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump described how the bullet supposedly grazed his ear, leaving behind a small wound. However, his story faced a flood of disbelief on social media, particularly among critics on the left.
Many on the left are assassination attempt deniers and those deniers were in full force on X.
Users quickly pointed out inconsistencies and ridiculed the incident. Some doubted that an AR-15 round could graze an ear without causing severe damage, given the weapon’s power. Others mocked the lack of a visible scar, questioning why there wasn’t a more significant injury if the account were true.
Comparisons to the aftermath of actual gunshot wounds left many online questioning the plausibility of Trump’s narrative. Even the fact that Rogan appeared to laugh during parts of the discussion didn’t help Trump’s case, with skeptics taking it as a sign of incredulity.
Several tweets highlighted that live footage of the incident showed no clear evidence of a gunshot or any panic among the crowd. Some users argued it was a staged attempt to gain sympathy or attention, with comments like “It was all a fake” and “Rogan knows he’s lying” gaining traction.
The conversation and subsequent online reactions underscore the deep mistrust that continues to define the political divide, with one side dismissing the incident as staged and the other pointing to it as evidence of ongoing threats against Trump. Regardless of whether the incident was real or exaggerated, it seems to have amplified skepticism and stirred up even more polarized discourse.
