Anthony Fauci dismissed the gunshot wound Donald Trump sustained during Saturday's assassination attempt, telling CNN viewers: 'he's in the clear.'
Fauci made the comments after the former president, 78, wore a large white bandage over the gunshot wound on his ear throughout the Republican National Convention this week.
'I don't think there is much more to it,' Fauci, 83, said of Trump's wounds while talking to CNN host Wolf Blitzer on Friday. 'It was a bullet shot that grazed his ear.'

Gupta apparently cannot tell the difference between a gunshot blast felt when you are near where the lead and gas leaves the barrel vs being out in the open when a bullet whizzing by.
Didn’t President Trump say that a portion of his ear was destroyed (gone forever)? Then it was not a “graze”.

Well Doctor, please elaborate on your diagnosis.
The wound looks like it took a little piece of the upper ear off. Knowing Trump he’s probably wanting it cosmetically reconstructed and the patch conceals the defect until then plus it’s still healing.
Fauci should be hanged not getting awards.
1) The “latest” 22lr bullet lodged in President Reagan contained a tiny silvery cylinder of explosive. (Lead azide in “Devastator” cartridges).
2) A highly-resourceful friend sent a “burst” series of pix featuring President Trump’s right ear.
(”Dave” knows everything about firearms—I just do the microscope part)
In slow motion, an actual bloodless hole is easily seen in one of the frames. The hole is in the middle of the upper, featureless, outer ear. Viewed from President Trump’s right side, it appears in the 11 o’clock position.
Frankly, I am puzzled by the reaction to the attempt?
Why would he need to have been killed in order for us to react. That’s a statement not a question.
We should be outraged. When do we get outraged?
Fake dossier, fake impeachments, false ballots, lawfare on ancient charges, lawfare over paid in full loans, calls for murder, lack of proper SS...and now an assassination attempt...a current President mentally unfit
When do we get outraged?
Now they want to minimize these events.
When do we get to be outraged?
No doctor, I. But I have seen people die of, in effect, stress.
Trump needs our prayers, because a lot of dangers lie in his path.
At least Fauci is admitting to it being a bullet (and not glass)...
Fauchi killed millions so, he can’t coprendnd 1d or deaths at a rime but this boy needs a serious case of STFU.
Needs to be tried and convicted of genocide.
Exactly. I was about to post the same. There are no "blast" effects unless one is near the end of the barrel when it is fired.
Gupta is the idiot here:
“CNN’s chief medical correspondent Doctor Sanjay Gupta asked for a ‘public assessment’ of the former president in an op-ed for CNN on Friday.
He added: ‘...gunshot blasts near the head can cause injuries that aren’t immediately noticeable, such as bleeding in or on the brain, damage to the inner ear, or even psychological trauma.’”
Hey Sanjay! Where was the rifle??? 🙄
Exactly, would be curious to hear from someone who has knowledge on this matter, but I would imagine there is little external energy from a small projectile passing past someone even that close
There is a YouTube video of a man shooting a 50 cal in a quarry and apparently the bullet or something ricocheted directly back and knocked of his ear defenders
Always wondered how that was possible, something coming straight back like that, but if true and there was some kind of injury possible from the force passing by, a 50 cal would be the one to do it.
The man said something like we are not doing that again…. Seemed okay
Of course they are, must be the “good people” hannity is always referring to
Good job, UK Daily Mail! Keep Falsie’s name fresh in people’s minds. I bet Democrats across the board wish the People would forget Falsie’s very name, and forget that he ever existed.
“It was a bullet shot that grazed his ear.”
It was an assassination attempt which hit the target. Doesn’t matter what the damage was.
America’s most respected trusted and esteemed national doctor.
🤢
Educated men know what that word means.
