🤔 I don’t think that white line on the photo could be the bullet:
The line is horizontal. The shot came from up on a roof and would have had at least some downward angle.
More importantly, in the photo Trump’s hand is raised at about his shoulder level. If you check the video, both his hands were gripping the podium at the time of the shot that hit his ear. It’s after that shot (because he feels it), he first winces and only then raises his hand from the podium up to his ear. So it can’t be that one in the photo.
His hand is up on his ear at the moment of the next shot. So it can’t be that one in the photo.
Then as he lowers his hand there is a third shot, but by that time his shoulders are scrunched up and he’s starting to duck, his head is turned more away from the mike–which is not what we see in this photo. Then he continues going down.
So that moment of the photo doesn’t seem to line up with the timing of any of the shots. The only way it might is if the sound track is not in sync with the video.
I love how you got downvoted for being completely accurate and correct in how the two situations are completely different. Ignorance votes on Lemmy and in November. 🤷♂️
lightning is super simple and easy to catch with just your phone because it’s so bright.
For those wondering: during a lightning storm just set your camera on a stand/lean it against the wall, set the time to 30 seconds, and the exposure to -3 and ISO to 100 (low as it will go), and just keep continuously taking photos. Eventually you’ll catch a bolt. I’ve done it on a beach just leaning my phone against a log.
It’s the exact opposite to trying to catch something with 1/4000th of a second to do it.
No. Not without a very expensive camera. You need 10s of 1000s of frames a second to do that sort of shit. No one was filming Trump with a million dollar camera for fun.
Some say they caught the bullet on camera. What a time to be alive!

Is that possible?
It’s definitely possible. Most pro cameras can take a picture in 1/8000th of a second. At that speed a handgun round would only travel about 2 inches.
The main factor is luck though. This shot would be pretty much impossible to get on purpose.
People catch lightning on camera, why couldn’t they catch a bullet?
Lighting is very big and bright.

Now the comment has positive score, but saying factual information on lemmy is often received by downvotes.
But only if it doesn’t fit the narrative.

yes, it’s possible. It’s called luck. You don’t need to buy every single lottery ticket to win. Just one will do it.
Lee Roy could catch a bullet with his teef
That’s a suspiciously skin coloured “bullet”. Could be a slower moving chunk of flesh?
I wouldn’t comment on details without seeing a higher resolution version.
