“Democrats must recover quickly and say: Trump has been uniquely responsible for stoking the violence that apparently grazed his ear,” The Nation’s Joan Walsh wrote.
Beyond the obvious ju-jitsu of a leftist blaming one of her targets for getting shot, there’s that ‘apparently’ in there.
Walsh had also tweeted, “Has there been any kind of news conference by Trump’s doctors? I just find this weirder every moment.”
“Is Trump’s bandage covering evidence that he wasn’t shot? Still waiting for confirmation from credible sources beyond Trump on his Truth Social that he was actually hit by a bullet rather than hit by glass or other debris,” Steven Beschloss, a professor at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism, tweeted.
The rise of the Ear Truthers has been the most exciting development in lefty discourse yet with BlueAnons analyzing photos and claiming that Trump’s ear was never injured and it was a blood pack and that even if it was, it was by broken glass, not a bullet, and that doctors are staging an ear coverup.
Ear Truthers had all sorts of explanations such as the blood was put on by the Secret Service while removing Trump. They’ve argued that either the ear bled too much or too little considering the caliber of bullet and the graze.
Since sites like Daily Beast, Salon and Slate exist purely to launder the deranged fantasies of a certain clique of upper middle class perpetually online liberals, they’re flirting with the narrative already.

Does any of the Ear Trutherism change anything? Obviously not. But rather than deal with the uncomfortable reality of what happened, Ear Trutherism changes the subject, nibbling away at the details, as conspiracy theories tend to do, to avoid grappling with the larger truths, in the hopes that enough nibbles, enough claims of “this doesn’t look right” can be made to add up to a denial of the truth.
Meanwhile, also from Illinois and Second City Cop...

That is why Deep State has to steal elections. :-)
First good photo of the wound I found online looked like a through and through wound of right antihelix, all interior to the actual rim. AKA a “pierced ear.” Trump said he had no sutures, so I doubt had any graft. Likely letting it heal in on its own, frequently done for ear cancers, but hiding the distracting process with that cosmetic dressing. Guys his age tend to be happy so long as eye glasses and hearing aids fit ok.
He should have an ear gauge put in there, maybe a smiley face...
