Following the assassination attempt on July 13, 2024, in Butler, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump’s right ear became a focal point of the significant public and medical discussion.
Injury Details:
The former president was struck by a bullet fired from an AR-15–style rifle. According to a medical report released by his former White House physician, Dr. Ronny Jackson:
- The Wound: The bullet produced a 2 cm wide wound that extended down to the cartilaginous surface of the upper right ear.
- Immediate Effects: The injury caused significant bleeding and marked swelling of the entire upper ear.
- Treatment: While he underwent a CT scan and evaluations at Butler Memorial Hospital, no sutures (stitches) were required due to the "broad and blunt nature" of the wound.
Healing and Appearance:-
In the days following the event, Trump famously wore a large white gauze bandage, which was later replaced by a smaller, flesh-colored patch.
- Recovery: By late 2024 and into the 2025, medical experts noted that the ear had healed remarkably well.
- Current Status: Observations from plastic surgeons and recent photography indicate the skin is smooth, though there is some slight bumpiness or distortion along the outer edge where tissue was lost or repositioned during the natural granulation process.
Historical Context
The FBI confirmed in late July 2024 that Trump was indeed struck by a bullet (or a fragment of the one), putting to rest initial questions about whether the injury was caused by glass or shrapnel. Trump himself has described the experience as "the greatest earache" he has ever had, though his team confirmed his hearing remained intact.
