Well, I guess the narrative has moved on to the next plot twist. As Joe Biden said just a few days ago:
We're done talking about the debate. It's time to put Trump in the bullseye.
It wasn't quite a bullseye: the bullet struck his ear.
Which is to say the would-be assassin - one Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania - came within rather less than an inch of killing the Republican presidential nominee. From the intended target upon his discharge from hospital:
I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening.
God bless America!
