(DC Pundit) – Newsweek is currently under fire on social media after downplaying an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. The controversy arose when Newsweek suggested that Trump was hit by a fragment of a bullet rather than a whole bullet.
The article in question, titled “Donald Trump Might Not Have Been Shot After All,” has sparked widespread criticism.
Newsweek supported this claim by referencing testimony from FBI Director Christopher Wray. In his statement, Wray mentioned, “With respect to former President Trump, there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear.”
According to Merriam-Webster, “shrapnel” is defined as: 1) “a projectile that consists of a case provided with a powder charge and a large number of usually lead balls and that is exploded in flight” and 2) “bomb, mine, or shell fragments.”

This is really covering some ground, but @Newsweek might be the most embarrassing "news organization" in the entire country. They constantly publish BS, but this is next level Trump derangement. They should be ashamed of themselves!!! pic.twitter.com/ggjWWPCU7S

According to the media:
Kamala was NOT the Border Czar.
Kamala was NOT the most liberal U.S. Senator.
Kamala did NOT promote defund the police.
Kamala did NOT say 18-24 year-olds were dumb.
And Donald Trump never got shot.
You don't hate these people enough. https://t.co/tq7mFZB2Zl

Who else thinks President Trump should sue the heck out of Newsweek? https://t.co/blKV5tg4zO

So first Kamala was never the border czar and now Trump wasn’t actually shot, even though we all watched a dude with a gun on top of a roof shoot at his head as secret service watched.
Okay. https://t.co/iMWZbMp3jg

Whether Trump was hit by an intact bullet or shrapnel, he was still shot.
