Who are the conspiracy theorists now?!

John Leguizamo — who has recently filled in as host on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show — re-posted a photo of Trump showing his right ear without any sign of injury . “Not even a scratch! But milk it for all you can!” the actor wrote.

However, it turns out the photo was from 2022.

The photo in question showed Trump at a 2022 event in Ohio alongside then-Senate candidate J.D. Vance (R-OH). Media outlets have re-circulate the Reuters file photo following Trump’s announcement on Monday that Sen. Vance would be his vice presidential pick.

Leguizamo hasn’t deleted his post as of Tuesday mid-afternoon, despite a readers note correction.

The actor also mocked Trump for wearing an ear bandage during the first day of the Republican National Convention on Monday.

As Breitbart News reported, Disney’s Star Wars actor Mark Hamill is also pushing the notion that Trump is faking his injury.

On Saturday, Trump sustained a bullet wound to his ear, narrowly avoiding a fatal injury, after a gunman attempted to assassinate him during a rally in Pennsylvania. Numerous media photos show blood streaming down the former president’s face from his ear as he yelled “Fight! Fight! Fight!” to his crowd of supporters.

John L. is a clown -- professionally and literally.

His X account:

I'm a counter culture, outgoing introvert, Latinx, underachieving overachiever
trying to leave this blue pebble a better place than when I entered it!


I liked some of the roles he's played in some movies, like John Wick and Executive Decision. 

In Moulin Rouge, however, he was just an annoying pipsqueak (playing a dwarf).  Being annoying in that movie was hard to do, too!

Off the top of my head, I can't remember anything else he was in that I found entertaining.  I just rewatched Gamer, and he was annoying in that, too.  I wasn't sad he was a casualty, either.

Just scanned through IMDB for the movies he's been in.  Other than the animated Ice Age movies where he does the voice for Sid the Sloth,  even the movies that I do like in the list -- about 5 -- I barely remember him being in.

I chalk this up to another celebrity with TDS trying to get public attention -- because his job really isn't doing that enough for him.

I think he also acted in that Julie Newmar movie.  Forget the title.  Had Wesley Snipes and Patrick Swayze in it also.

But yeah, all these Hollywood actors are just f*ckn a$$h*les.

Should be fun watching them go nuts in November.  Maybe they will move out of the US this time for real.

Yakkity Yak.

To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar

Drag Queen movie.  Not something I'll willing sit through no matter who stars in it.

Way different than a movie like Some Like it Hot or Mrs. Doubtfire.

To the people doubting Trump's injury

https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2024/07/20/miracle-he-wasnt-killed-trumps-white-house-doctor-provides-health-update-bullet-wound/

Donald Trump’s White House physician gave an update on how the Republican presidential nominee is doing a week after he was injured in an assassination attempt.

Congressman Ronny Jackson, who served as a physician to President Trump and President Barack Obama, said he was concerned about Trump after he was shot and met up with the former president last Saturday.

“I have been with President Trump since that time, and I have evaluated and treated his wound daily,” Jackson shared. “He is doing well. As reported and witnessed by the entire world, he sustained a gunshot wound to the right ear from a high-powered rifle used by the would-be assassin.”

According to Jackson, the bullet came less than a quarter of an inch from entering the former president’s head and struck the top of his right ear.

“The bullet track produced a 2-centimeter-wide wound that extended down to the cartilaginous surface of the ear,” Jackson said. “There was initially significant bleeding, followed by marked swelling of the entire upper ear.”

i find it amusing there some on the left saying he was never injured -- that it was all staged.

Then there are others on the left saying the public has a right to know the extent of Trump's injury, and whether or not it is serious enough to demand Trump drop out of the race.  I guess those TDS sufferers are combining the physical injury with assumed PTSD that a president should never experience in his life.

Here's an article that cracked me up.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/1-in-3-democrats-believe-trump-faked-assassination-attempt-i-talked-to-one/ar-BB1ql1eW?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=6e0a48255e474834a0304629187de185&ei=12

TDS is an actual medical diagnosis but called Trump Anxiety Disorder.  Anxiety is a diagnosable and treatable affliction.

These people really need to seek professional help.
