Well, I do have to say it is interesting. I’m no expert on gun shot wounds of any kind, but I’m not sure how much visible damage should remain at this point. His doctor, Ronny Jackson said that the bullet track “produced a 2 cm wide wound that extended down to the cartilaginous surface of the ear."
This image is from this article and is dated Aug-24, 2023, obviously before he was injured.
This is from the post mentioned in the article dated July-27, 2024, nearly 2 weeks after the injury.
I can’t see any marks from a bullet wound. Am I blind? It has only been 1.5 to 2 weeks since the injury. Shouldn’t there still be some visible scarring if it was an actual hit and left a 2 cm (that’s about 3/4" for my fellow Americans) wide track down to the cartilage?
Sure, but that’s not been seen in pictures. In order to do cartilage damage, it would have had to tear the upper ear lobe. What we have in pictures is blood (ears bleed like crazy due to thin membane and high blood pressure) after the shooting, and then Trump without bandages playing golf.
I’m not pushing any conspiracy theories here, but if I may just say, that the whole bandage thing at the convention was absolutely bullshit. It’s clear he dodged a bullet, literally, because a person in the crowd was killed. What I’m saying is that Ronny Jackson’s take, and Trump’s photos and behavior after the fact don’t match up.
If his ear got hit with a bullet. It absolutely would have destroyed part of his ear. Literally anyone that owns a gun would know that. It was for sure a piece of glass.
I was deployed twice, got to see people with grazing wounds. They still needed a lot of stitches due to the kinetic energy of the bullet flying by them.
Well, you’re not wrong, but that’s not the point of what I said. The point is that there was supposedly a 2cm (3/4" wide) wound down to the cartilage of his ear. Less than 2 weeks later, there is no sign of it. So the damage was apparently very minor and they have been playing up with the panty-liners on their heads.
I mean if a bullet hit his ear he’d be missing a chunk of it. I don’t think he was hit by a bullet, I’m more partial to the idea he got hit by a shattered teleprompter, but I’m just pointing out that he was injured during an assassination attempt to it really doesn’t make a difference what cut up his ear. But I agree I don’t think it was a bullet imo

Exactly. As usual, Jackson is lying through his teeth. It was a slight graze. He didn’t get part of his ear blown off.

I don’t by for one second Trump was grazed.
I’m glad you’re pushing back. That person didn’t address any of the valid points you’ve raised and I can’t stand when people respond and do that.
I’m 30 and don’t heal from a blister in 2 weeks.
This dude is 80 and had a piece of his ear ripped off, totally healed 2 weeks later, no deformity.
Yah I slightly burned my hand like two weeks ago and there is still a red mark there.
If that’s that the same doctor that keeps trying to claim Trump isn’t obese, then in not believing a word he says
The second image could also simply be flipped
it could not, this is AP, not your favorite blog, they don’t do such alterations.
also there’s more pictures from the same day with more scenery in the image, which rules that out: https://newsroom.ap.org/editorial-photos-videos/search?query=trump&mediaType=photo&st=keyword
My favourite blog is about sea turtles.
I like turtles.
Which blog?

That’s a fair point. I hadn’t considered that.

I think wether he got hit by a bullet or a shard of shattered glass is irrelevant. The damage is the same and it was still the same outcome.
