Jul 20, 2024, 08:15 PM

Former President Donald Trump sustained a gunshot wound to his right ear during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The bullet produced a 2cm wide wound that extended to the cartilaginous surface of the ear, causing significant bleeding and swelling. Dr. Ronny Jackson, Trump's former White House physician and now a Texas Representative, has been providing daily medical care to Trump since the incident. Jackson reported that no sutures were required, and the wound is healing properly, although there has been intermittent bleeding. The bullet came less than a quarter of an inch from entering Trump's head. Jackson described the situation as 'an absolute miracle he wasn't killed.' Trump is expected to undergo further evaluations, including a hearing test.
