Trump Assassination Attempt: Donald Trump went to the campaign trail in Grand Rapids, Michigan, a few days after accepting the Republican nomination for US president at the Republican National Convention, where he discussed the murder attempt that occurred approximately one week prior. After being shot in the ear, the former US President stated, “I took a bullet for democracy,” during his first rally speech.
“I have no desire to learn anything about it. However, they spread false information and misinformation and never stop claiming that he poses a threat to democracy. “What the hell did I do for democracy?” is what I’m saying. “I took a bullet for democracy last week,” Donald Trump declared, alluding to the Democrats.
Trump escaped an attempted murder last Saturday while attending a rally in Pennsylvania, several months ahead of the US presidential election. When the gunman opened fire, he only received a slight wound to the “upper part of his right ear.”
Trump’s wounds and care following the attempted assassination
Just one week after he escaped an attempted assassination at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump’s campaign provided an update on his health on Saturday. New information on Trump’s wounds and the care he got is provided in a memo written by Texas Representative Ronny Jackson, a physician for the former president and supporter of the Republican nominee.
This is the most thorough description of Trump’s health that has been provided since the shooting, which also left two rally attendees injured and one dead. According to Jackson, the former president was shot in the right ear, with the bullet missing his head by about a quarter of an inch and striking the top of his ear, as reported by the Associated Press.
The bullet first caused severe bleeding and edema in the upper ear, leaving a 2 cm wide wound that extended down to the cartilage. Trump’s wound is healing and the swelling has decreased, but he is still bleeding sometimes, which is why the bandage from last week’s RNC is still needed.
No sutures were needed because the wound was large and blunt in form. Butler Memorial Hospital’s medical personnel provided Trump with his early care. A CT scan of his head was part of the extensive evaluation that the doctors performed to look for any more damage. If necessary, he will undergo additional assessments, such as a thorough hearing examination. As instructed by the medical professionals who assessed him in the beginning, he will follow up with his primary care physician “in his letter.
To sum up, former President Trump is doing well and healing from the bullet wound he received late Saturday afternoon as anticipated. I flew to Bedminster, New Jersey, where Trump had taken a late Saturday flight back from Pennsylvania, out of concern for him and to personally check on him and offer my support in any way I could,” he added.
