This is wildly at variance with every other recent poll I've read. Reputable polls show Trump and Harris in a virtual tie, with Harris perhaps 1% ahead, well within the margin of error.

I guess the bullet went straight through and came out the other ear. Explains why no damage done.

He could have died

An example of the fact Trump is superhuman and heals faster than anyone else even at the age of 78.
That’s what he and his supporters will say.
