The FBI says former President Donald Trump was struck in the ear by a bullet during an assassination attempt on July 13, as the agency moved Friday to clarify what happened after nearly two weeks of confusion and conflicting accounts.
His doctor said that “chunks” were ripped off. His ear looked completely healed- and cartilage doesn’t regrow so that would have to have been reconstructive surgery.
I’m guessing if it wasn’t some one with a razor cutting for drama… it was a very mild graze.
All that is assuming TMZ is more or less legit. (Ie the photo isn’t doctored before the rag bought rights to it)
I have to imagine that Trump has plastic surgeons on standby at all times (he already walks around looking like he's stuffed with more gauze than a taxidermied sow), so if there was any structural damage, they likely repaired it with a prosthetic.
Combine with the fact that old people are generally a bit more frail and slower to heal than those that are much younger. Especially when they’re not exactly fit either with a horrendous diet.
He said he healed like the day after and the doctor said it was a miracle.
Sorry, all you get is images of a maxi pad to indicate enormous damage for what was likely a graze.
An attempt on a former president's life is a big deal, whether I think he's a human dumpster fire or not.
However, the way he played this up was and is ridiculous. He didn't need to prove anything. Someone shot at him and that's not in doubt. Instead he chose to milk it and I personally find that ludicrous given the circumstances.
