Assassination attempt on Trump - Trump's association near the ear inspirated some Republicans
The association at Trump's ear inspired a few supporters of Donald Trump at the Republican Party convention in Milwaukee: Some Republican women and men have attached red ribbons to their ears as a sign of solidarity. However, this cannot be considered a mass phenomenon. The number of Republicans with a ribbon at the convention is rather low.
Trump was injured at the right ear during the fatal attack over the weekend. Since Monday (local time), the 78-year-old has appeared in the event hall every evening with a bandaged ear and has been cheered on by the audience. He was officially nominated as the Republican Party's presidential candidate at the beginning of the convention. However, he has not yet spoken on the stage - the candidate's major speech is traditionally the convention's finale and is scheduled for Friday night in German time.
A shooter opened fire at a campaign rally in the state of Pennsylvania on Saturday. He was killed by security guards. One visitor died, two others were seriously injured. Near the convention in Milwaukee, T-shirts are already being sold bearing a photo of the former president with a bloodied cheek and an outstretched fist in front of a US flag.
