He obviously milked it to the maximum. That ear bandage he was walking around with, was obviously a PR thing too. It did never look like a medical professional was anywhere near that.

"Listen. I just have the best body. My ear did all the healing and it did it so good. The doctors can't believe it, they say no human has ever healed this fast before."
Is it possible he was splashed with blood from one of the other victims?
The more plausible explanation is that he was grazed by a piece of shrapnel.
He put that stupid big bandage on for theatrics.
There's not even a nick in that photo.
Who's to say it wasn't an SS agent that got hit with the shrapnel?
Jesus healed it. Praise be!
Trump's doctor, Ronnie Jackson, said the bullet "produced a 2 cm wide wound that extended down to the cartilaginous surface of the ear." We are expected to believe that a 78 year old man completely healed a 2 cm (3/4 inch) wide ear wound, that went down to the cartilage, in less than two weeks.
These guys are lying through their teeth, again.
Must be another example of Trump's good genes! The best, big huge beautiful genes!

FBI Chief Wray was very careful saying that "Bullet or Shrapnel that Hit Trump's Ear", leaving things ambiguous. It set off some discussion online last week, with people wondering why he didn't just say "The bullet that hit Trump's Ear".
I guess FBI Chief knew something was up already and was already hedging his bets. Well, I'd expect intelligence to... well... know things before everyone else.
Obviously Trump was bleeding from his ear. Something absolutely hit it. But if its healed this well by now, it probably wasn't an AR-15 round.
Very interesting. I don't think Trump can just leave that thing bandaged up for the next few months, everyone knows he's gotta take the bandage off permanently eventually. The truth will come out.

It raises eyebrows because the suspicion that he’s part Ferengi is confirmed
A cast out then. Even Ferengi have rules and standards.
There’s no way a ferengi would bankrupt a casino.
Ferengi like casinos that don't go bankrupt.
Noted liar lies. News at 11.
Doesn't matter to his base. The fact that he was shot at makes him a martyr in their eyes (he was always their chosen one).
Just make sure we vote in numbers that can't be ignored. 🔵 🔵 🔵
Oh no. This matters to his base because we can embarrass them with this picture moving forward.
They truly believe that Trump was hit by the bullet, and is missing a piece of his ear because of it.
They won't get embarrassed. They were diapers, so they are like him...
All the Trump supporters I know call themselves "Moderates" and are "only asking questions".
They're already too embarrassed to call themselves Republican.

Mirrored or old image?
The photo was taken by an AP reporter. That's about as credible a source as you're going to get.
Not mirrored, the hair pomp folds over to his right, opposite of his left part.

In case it gets taken down completely:
There have been re-creations on YouTube with ballistics gel and pig ears showing what happens to an ear shot by an AR-15 round, I'm not going to lay judgement, just watch the video:
Ballistics gel (language):

I swear I read a chunk was supposedly missing from his ear.
I don't remember reading that; what article said that?
Sincerely,
Not a Trumper
Trump's Doctor said a bunch of things.
I 100% believe that those articles existed (largely echoing Trump's doctor), even if I didn't see them personally. Different segments of the press assign different amounts of reliability to different political figures. It seems like the Democrats / Leftist print is to the advantage here compared to the Right who published the articles about the exaggerated claims of Trump's Doctor.
Democrats are the left, not leftists, and the "prints" of those two are only truly united in not liking Trump and other Nazis.

Yeah, a lie promoted by his campaign and his doctor who doesn't have a fucking medical license.

He fucked up, or his doctors are miracle workers.
They reconstructed the ear using part of his ball sack....the entire part.
He's just a terrific healer. Like a more orange Wolverine.
I'mma roll with #45 effed up. Forgot his fake bandage, and nobody bothered to remind him.
