Trump’s Recent Conditions

Donald Trump’s former physician, Ronny Jackson, has reported that the former president is making a typical recovery from a gunshot wound to his ear. The bullet, which was fired by an attempted assassin during a Trump rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, missed entering his head by less than a quarter of an inch. Dr. Jackson explained that the wound is a 2-centimeter-wide track that reaches down to the cartilage of the ear. While the swelling has subsided, intermittent bleeding continues due to the ear's high vascularity. (Source: Reuters)
