    The question about whether it was a bullet or shrapnel wouldn’t even be in the news if Trump didn’t insist on playing up being an inch from death. Either answer would have been far less important than being shot at but no, he had to make the question about what hit him a big deal.

      You’re not wrong, but the NYT played their part by taking a non-story and publishing it under an intentionally ambiguous headline for clicks. That’s probably got repeated to Trump as, “the FBI director is testifying to Congress that you didn’t get shot!” or something like that, which led to this outburst.

      The NYT sure has been stirring the shit lately.
