A TikTok video by user inspector6000 titled "AIM FOR MY EAR BRO TRUST THE CLIP GONNA BE CRAZY" has taken the internet by storm. The video provides a compelling argument against a bizarre claim involving former President Donald Trump. The content argues that anyone asserting the incident was staged has likely never handled a firearm.

In the video, the creator explains the difficulty of shooting accurately from a substantial distance. Typically, at a gun range, shooters practice from about 25 yards. The video demonstrates what a 25-yard spread looks like, emphasizing the precision required even at that distance. According to the TikT***r, experienced marksmen would achieve a relatively tight spread, implying that the shooter's brain would metaphorically become a bullet.

The crux of the argument is the distance from which the shot was allegedly taken—between 140 and 150 yards. The TikT***r ridicules the idea that anyone, including Donald Trump, could instruct someone to aim for his ear from 400 feet away. The video also mentions critical factors like bullet drop and a 13-mile-per-hour wind gust, both of which would make such a shot increasingly improbable.

The video offers a convincing perspective that debunks the rumor with practical shooting knowledge and physics. The engaging content and clear explanation make this TikTok a must-watch for anyone interested in firearms or skeptical of sensational claims.

Watch the video by inspector6000 for a fascinating breakdown of this viral myth.
