I am not saying I believe he cut his own ear. However unlikely it might be, I'm saying it's possible.

Could you imagine a scenario where the 20 year old incel was lied to about his purpose for being on that roof?

No question the election was in the bag, but with a miraculous assassination survival story behind him he will have more authority to suspend rights and he now has a nation of armed citizens who think he's the messiah.

I wonder what they'll do if he asks them to go fight for Israel.
