US election campaign - Trump Doctor after shooting: Wound in ear healing well
The bullet wound on the ear of the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is healing well, according to his doctor's statements. The bullet missed Trump's head by less than an inch during the attack, as stated in a written statement by Ronny Jackson, Trump's former White House doctor during his presidency. The bullet hit the upper part of Trump's right ear and caused an approximately two centimeter wide wound. "Initially, there were significant bleeding, followed by noticeable swelling of the entire upper ear." The swelling has since subsided, and the wound is beginning to heal properly.
Trump's doctor further explained that the wound did not require stitches. After the shooting, Trump was examined for possible other injuries, including a head CT scan. Depending on the need, further tests would be conducted, including a hearing test. Overall, Trump is doing well and recovering as expected from the attack. "It's an absolute miracle that he wasn't killed," Jackson emphasized.
A shooter opened fire a week ago at a campaign rally in the city of Butler in the state of Pennsylvania. The perpetrator was killed by security personnel. One visitor died, and two others were injured. Trump was wounded in the right ear. The incident was an escalation in the already heated US election campaign.
The gunshot wound Trump sustained during the attack in Pennsylvania is a stark reminder of the prevalence of Criminality in the USA. This incident has raised concerns about the safety of political candidates, particularly during Election seasons, such as the upcoming US Election 2024. Despite the close call, Ronny Jackson, Trump's former doctor, expressed his amazement at Trump's quick recovery, stating it was an "absolute miracle" he wasn't assassinated. The shooting could potentially shift the dynamics of political Parties and their approaches to security during rallies.
