Joe Rogan slams narratives claiming Donald Trump assassination attempt was fake: "You don't understand shooting"
Joe Rogan's historic podcast episode featuring Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was so memorable that he's still talking about the former US president days after the episode first aired. After the presidential candidate guested in his show, the podcasting pioneer then had his running-mate, republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance.
One of the first things Rogan and Vance talked about was the shocking assassination attempt on Donald Trump, in which the bullet grazed his ear at a campaign rally in Butler Township, Pennsylvania back in June.
"The miracle is Trump turns his head at the last second. At the very last second he turns his head to look at the chart and the bullet just grazes his ear. There's this stupid conspiracy out there. He's got a mark on his ear. I saw it. He has a mark on his ear and people are like, 'Why isn't there a hole in his ear?' Because it's just the edge of the skin [that] got hit. That's all it was."
He continued:
"It's the luckiest of luckiest of shots, ever. For him [Trump]. Unfortunately not for the people behind him. Because a couple of people got shot. And for anybody who thinks that that was staged, you don't understand shooting. There's no way you can graze someone's ear from 120 yards."

On the third day since its upload, the Trump episode surpassed episode #1368, featuring famous NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, which had 38 million views.

Especially if he wins the elections.
