I was taught that the way to remember it was that people who don't know the difference between a metaphor and a simile are thick shits as opposed to being thick as shit.
(I'm sure you realise that this isn't meant as an insult but given the nature of some discussions on here nowadays I want to make it clear that it isn't)
I'm not sure that's possible. If a bullet were travelling at the correct angle to make a hole like that, it would have hit his head. If the bullet was whizzing past his head, it would have taken more of his ear.

I do try to stay upbeat, but I'm increasingly drawn into thinking that the world (and us with it) is nearing the end.
Now, whether to spaff my savings on wine, women and song, before it's too late, or keep the faith?
It's a toughie, and no mistake.
Yes, unless one's ears stick out at a 90 degree angle, it does seem strange.

It’s hard to imagine, even when it involves Trump, that a shot being fired so close to his head would be anything by a genuine attempt to take him out. Sounds like a major secret service f*** up though.

If the bullet was moving parallel to the side of his head, passing through his ear from the front or the back, it seems reasonable that it would make this wound.

Perhaps it went through his ear hole and out the other side.
It would have to be a tiny bullet.
I'd say that we'll find out soon, but I imagine Trump will be thinking about how to spin it, rather than just reporting the truth.
Looks like someone couldn't even be bothered to spend 5 minutes in photoshop

He initially puts his hand to his ear, before going down.

A little more for the conspiracy theorists: According to the BBC article, the gunman had no ID on him and has been identified by the FBI using DNA. Quick work from the feds there, I wonder if they had his DNA on file already? And if so, why?

Maybe there was a bang of some sort. Can anyone confirm if there was a loud bang?

Don't think I've ever seen someone being shot in the ear, but this is exactly what I expect it would look like

The suspected shooter at yesterday’s rally shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, had explosive devices in his car, the Wall Street Journal reports.
According to sources familiar with the matter who spoke to the outlet, the car with the reported devices was parked near the rally where Donald Trump addressed a crowd before his assassination attempt.
The Journal further reports that police received multiple reports of suspicious packages near the shooter’s location and that bomb technicians were dispatched.
