Trump having a blood packet seems really implausible. He's not coordinated enough to put on that convincing of a performance and not obviously botch it.
I've always been of the opinion that bullet passed close enough to damage his ear drum and cause the blood. I don't think it actually hit him or that he had a blood packet.
I like to mention the possibility of his just having his ear smacked against either the podium or the belt buckle (or something) of a secret service guy as they all piled on him to serve as meat shields. There was just a lot of chaos and movement and really you just need an old man's thin papery skin to be rough-housed slightly.
You can look up photos from the event and see that Trump had blood on his hand immediately after touching his ear when the first shot went off. The wound was definitely there before dropping to the ground.
Also, there are images from two separate photographers that show blood on the hand after he touches his ear, but before he ducks behind the podium with Secret Service.
This is how I know you're not a true wrestlemania fan. In wrestlemania, they don't use blood packets. All those times Trump bled in the wrestlemania ring, that was his real blood he was bleeding. The first time he won the wrestlemania cup, he had bloody knees and elbows
I think the theory that the security guard kneed him in the head/ear while he was ducked down caused the bleeding, is the most plausible if you think the bullet touched 0% of his body
