I'm not going to jump into the conspiracy theory, but if you get one shot, don't miss. The ear thing was pure campaign magnetism. These fuckers showing up to rallies with gauze on their ears afterward was insane.
I'm 98% sure he just cut his ear while getting covered by secret service, or while getting back up.
2% chance he was cut intentionally as a show.
There 0% chance he was nicked by a bullet.
Or not even cut but a blood bag.
