Donald TrumpFormer Prez All Ears, No Bandage... Seemingly No Injury

Donald Trump 's healing well after the attempt on his life, 'cause he's not wearing the bandage on his ear anymore -- and, frankly ... it's still a bit of a mystery if he got hit at all.
The ex-Prez sat down for an audience with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Friday ... and, pics are now circulating of his uncovered right ear -- and, ya gotta see them 'cause there's seemingly no lasting damage. That, or he's healed up in record time.

Check out the photos for yourself ... it's obviously not taken right next to the ear, but there's no major scarring/scabbing to see -- surprising given his former doctor Ronny Jackson told a couple interviewers the bullet blew off part of his ear, so you'd expect some damage.

Speaking of Trump's doctor ... Jackson provided another update on Trump's condition ... and, directly contradicted FBI Director Christopher Wray .
He says there's no evidence to suggest Trump was hit with shrapnel instead of a bullet like Director Wray claimed in his testimony to Congress earlier this week ... calling Wray's comments totally out of line.

As we told you ... immediately after the shooting, a source who had spoken to the Secret Service told us a piece of glass had broken off something and cut Trump's ear -- at least, it was one possibility the Service was looking into.

But, Jackson's convinced a bullet grazed the president ... yet, no lasting damage to his ear as far as these photos go -- which certainly won't stop people online from speculating on what hit Trump during the terrifying shooting.
Trump himself has repeatedly blown up at claims he wasn't shot ... and, his campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung called Wray's claims "conspiracy bulls***."

In any case ... looks like Trump's experiencing a miraculous recovery -- and, he's still got both ears to hear everything world leaders like Netanyahu have to say!

Directly below the red arrow I drew you see a tiny portion of his ear that appears discolored compared to the rest of it. Since there is no other discolorization on his ear I assume that was the injury. A high powered bullet did so little damage? If they say so.
As TMZ is a conservative leanig comedy based site, I question their reliability. The photo is blurred and it is not beyond the realm of possibility that said photo has been altered.
You’re being to generous, once again the FBI lied yesterday. Trump obviously wasn’t touched and it’s important for everyone to know.
I saw what the FBI said.
Do you agree that Trump suffered what amounts to a shaving injury?
He had a tiny cut. If it wasnt tiny, where is it?
Did he need that large ostentatious bandage?
I think Trump was slightly wounded by a 5.56 round that barely graved his ear. I believe that he played it up for good political theater.
i think the wound is a none story now, it won’t change a supporter or non-supporter’s mind. Now with Biden off of the ticket, I can’t see how it will effect the remaining independent voters.
Nevertheless I look forward to your analysis as his ear heals.
So you won't mind when a Democrat politician takes shot to the head if all they get is a minor nick then then?
stop ! Trump took a bullet for this COUNTRY !
And don't attempt to sell him short cause didn't you hear, Fox and fux said he's a hero!
And you won't have to vote again in four years if you get out and get that hero elected this November !
gee, what a guy....
If you search even a little bit you will come across a picture of severely cut upper ear. The doctors at the ER said it was a gunshot wound, and they probably know what a gunshot wound looks like. There is another picture of a vapor trail of a bullet about to hit his ear. Are there any pictures of a damaged teleprompter or rostrum?
Was it pieces of plastic shrapnel that killed that fireman and critically wound two other people? Not sure why that bandage would trigger some people into making stupid statements. This whole issue about whether a bullet hit his ear is irrelevant and inconsequential. There were obviously bullets flying around whether or not they caused shrapnel. That we know for sure.
I like candidates that don’t get shot.
say like Prisoners of War that don't get captured, or combatants that aren't killed ?
Trump probably hates himself with his past description of losers...
Not possible, he’s quick to forgive himself.
This was so predictable. Instead of acknowledging how obviously unhurt Trump was, they went into full on blue anon mode. It is shameful the depths the Republican Party has sunk to.
So not really news, Dog Bites Mailman
he has Comer write him apology letters
my dog bit the mailman, butt, didn't count asz she was a femail male man, oh the irony...
Still news. Regardless of your endless attempts to paint this as “nothing to see here, move along”.
Yes, the size of a bandaid is important to some, only God knows why.
in the scrap book of Trump, taking a bullet for the country, after divine intervention we need mention, it is one of his smaller LIES, compared to so many others, and yea, it shouldn't be overl;ooked, but hell, the 'right' is not fazed by about anything he does, and that, is wrong, in so many ways, but once they started giving him the longer leash, it is now long enuff to reach 5th avenue, i believe/.
No more frequent than endless attempts to discern new angles on what “was so predictable”.
Coin Flip Resulted In Heads!
It looks that way. Do you agree Trump could have easily lost his life that day?
I am not a trauma doctor or any other doctor. Not even an internet doctor like some see to be. Why is there an issue with the size of the bandaid put on him?
his ear should look like Evander's
This is so predictable. Instead of admitting Trump could easily lost his life many on the left want to focus on the size of his bandaid. Why are so many on the left so concerned about the size of anything Donald?
Are you a trauma doctor or an internet doctor?
Who bit him?
he most certainly could have and came damn close to just that.
That doesn't make it right to play this up to taking a bullet for his country...
You just once in a while would think, Trump might play it normal and be humble, but, who am i kitten
Dr. J bit him and then gave me his expert evaluation, Y do U inquire,? cause I may of stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
Why did he feel the need to glorify a scratch? Just another attempt to make himself look like something he is not for political gain. There is absolutely nothing admirable about what he did. And the unbelievably stupid way he was stood up into plain view for an actual potential kill shot just to further his drama makes it look like there is more fraud to this event than just the tiny scratch on his ear.
He’s a political candidate trying to win a race.
Mastering the obvious.
Like kissing babies and eating local food favorites pretending to be just one of the guys/girls.
Another Secret Service failure.
He’s a political candidate trying to win a race.
Considering the circumstances that is not a way to win, it is just another reason for his upcoming loss. The bandage was inevitably coming off to reveal once again what a sleazebag he is.
Then you should be celebrating, not angry.
I’m not angry at Trump. Trump stopped being the problem a long time ago. The real problem is people like yourself who pretend this is normal, and those who will vote for this kind of subhuman regardless of how obviously unqualified and repulsive he is.
It was more than just a scratch, and you know it. You can't argue with the pictures and the ER docs testimony.
As for him standing that was on Biden's incompetent DEI hired Secret Service agents lifting him up.
WRT this election, how am I a problem?
I don’t pretend here.
Maybe for the same reason Hillary said ""ran with our heads down" from the plane to avoid sniper fire at the Tuzla Air Base. When called out on it she said she misspoke and that was good enough for those on the left. At least Donald was actually in danger for his life. Why are people trying so hard to minimize that fact with nit picky bullshit that is done all the time in politics and the size of a bandaid? You would think they would focus on touting Harris accomplishments during her career. Or is "She ain't Trump or brain dead Biden " all they have?
Good bad or indifferent this is normal in politics. It is called spinning (or outright lying in some cases).
Some just pretend Donald is the only one guilty of it hoping no one is paying attention..
I remember Hilary discussing how she came under sniper fire in Bosnia:
“I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.”
She came so close to death for us.
Sorry, didn’t see your comment before submitting 2.1.31
This is what I’m talking about. Those two events are in no way equivalent. They aren’t even in the same ballpark.
Your gaslighting is so laughable. Everything you just said is grade A bullshit.
Share the differences.
One is guilty of hyperbole and one is an outright lie.
I agree. At least trump life was in danger. Hillary was just a blatant lie
Trump and Ronny Johnson-Jackson (who is illegally treating Trump without a medical license) said he was struck by a bullet and that bullet tore a two cm gash through his ear. That is one of the stupidest lies he has ever told, since there is no way to perpetuate it amongst anyone with working eyeballs. Keep it up with the desperate Hillary references though. We’ve come to expect nothing less from maga.
Nothing desperate about my comment. I see you’re not up to explaining the differences between Trumps hyperbole and Clinton’s lie about running under sniper fire.
No MAGA on my end.
Last Night’s Thunderstorm Resulted In Thunder!
So hell bent on trying to promote who knows what that you ignore the FBI saying he was hit by a bullet. But keep up with your misinformation, maybe you can get it elevated to a blue anon conspiracy theory.
No problem. Some need to read it several times before it sinks in
Where is the AG when we need him?
In my 20 year Naval career as a Hospital Corpsman in combat with front line USMC units I saw and treated more than my share of bullet wounds from minor grazing to deep pentration wounds. The facial grazing wounds bleed profusely for a short period and coagulate quickly when direct pressure is applied. Said wounds also heal fairly quickly. I feel confident he was in fact grazed b a bullet round.
Nope, Hollyfield had a bigger chunk bit out by Tyson.
i'll yield to your experience and expertise
It really should if Dr Jackson is to be believed. Blown off part of his ear? Once you've lost cartilage on or in an appendage, don't expect it to grow back.
And they had to correct it:
W ASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly two weeks after Donald Trump’s near assassination , the FBI confirmed Friday that it was indeed a bullet that struck the former president’s ear, moving to clear up conflicting accounts about what caused the former president’s injuries after a gunman opened fire at a Pennsylvania rally.
The statement from the FBI marked the most definitive law enforcement account of Trump’s injuries and followed ambiguous comments earlier in the week from Director Christopher Wray that appeared to cast doubt on whether Trump had actually been hit by a bullet.
FBI says Trump was indeed struck by bullet during assassination attempt (msn.com)
It is obvious why the Trump haters are trying to downplay an assassination attempt. I look forward to the day when Chris Wray is fired.
There are so many valid concerns regarding Trump that those upset because he wore a bandage and then are upset when he doesn’t, express an unhealthy fixation.
I would say the unhealthy non fixation for an obvious abbey normal brained candidate is what should be of concern. We are all numb, due to this miscreants mutations of our once accepted and acceptable set of rules that passed for a pol, especially the potUS
This might be blueanons most stupid conspiracy yet.
Trump was shot in the head. He wore a bandage.
Some how, for reasons known only to them, Some progressives have somehow decided to make both of those thing conspiracies they need to obsess over.
To expand on Nate silvers point about bullet truthers, bullet/wound trutherism is something that should probably cause you to update your assumptions about analysts/pundits who engage in it.
No he wasn't. But he did wear a bandage, like some of his supporters did....but it's not a cult.
I thought he was shot in the ear. If he had been shot in the head we would be having a different conversation
Here is a pic from this morning.. Pete Souza was kicked off Twitter, (X), for posting it. There is no damage to his ear at all. Zoom in.
Damn that lying FBI.
