anything they can do to downplay the attempted assassination of the bad orange man, they will. nevermind how patently absurd this sounds, if the "debris from a teleprompter that was shot" was even partially responsible for Trump's injury you can bet they wouldn't mention the shooter at all, how it got damaged in the first place, and also ignore that Corey Comperatore was still murdered. hell, i don't think anyone missed the initial wave of articles saying Trump simply "fell".
now they're running articles saying Trump's ear has already healed. well, that's great news. but of course it was going to heal. whyever would such a thing be posted if they weren't trying to diminish the significance of Trump being wounded in the first place?
