With all due respect, the question wasn't how good the round would deliver enough knock-down power but if his head moved in that fraction of a second. It didn't. Looking at the video I say 8 to 10 seconds with his head close to the same position. So the narrative that he moved his head just in time is BS.

You need to define just in time to have a debate on that.
Okay, cool theory👍

Rewatch the video, he was looking to his right for a long time before the shot is heard, with his head in pretty much the same position.
He made a small turn a second before but he goes right back to the position he had been in for many seconds.
Also, the shooter was on an angle slightly behind him. There is no way he could have just grazed his ear.
If you look at the science behind this, the bullet that hit Trump was in the air before Trump moved his head.

None of it ever happened. A few m-80’s and a package of ketchup from Micky d’s and we’re good to go for the show. Slippy slopey roof n all.

I looked at the vid. His head was turned for 8 to 10 seconds before he lifted his hand to his ear.
A .233 or 5.56 would have traveled 150 yards in about 140 ms. That is much less than a second. He didn't turn his head just in time.
I still can’t find anything that leads me to believe there’s a second shooter, yet.
All options are totally open though.
