ays after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump during a rally in Butler, Pa., supporters have been showing their solidarity by wearing bandages on their ears.
A gunman opened fire at Trump's rally Saturday, injuring the former president on his right ear and killing Corey Comperatore, 50. Two others were injured: David Dutch, 57, and James Copenhaver, 74, both of whom are now in stable condition. Investigators are still working to uncover a motive for the shooting.
Trump's former doctor, Rep. Ronny Jackson of Texas, said he personally examined Trump's wound, and told the New York Times, "The bullet took a little bit off the top of his ear in an area that, just by nature, bleeds like crazy."
On the second night of the convention, delegates and attendees were photographed wearing makeshift "bandages" — from folded-up slips of paper to pieces of tape — on their right ears to showcase their solidarity with Trump.
Arizona delegate Joe Neglia was one of the first people photographed wearing the ear bandage during the second night of the convention. Neglia told CBS News he folded up an envelope "on the bus on the way here" to wear on his right ear.
“This is the newest fashion trend. I’m getting this going. Everybody in the world is going to be wearing these pretty soon," Neglia said.

WOW the GOP found the wayback machine to 1980!
Keep it up guys!
Shirts with his bloodied face are selling big time.
Hmmm...I wonder what would happen if I showed up for jury duty sporting one of those.
The DemoMarxists were making fun of the bandage so I assume this will drive them further up the cliffs of insanity
I suppose that is no different from Lincoln supporters carrying split rails.
Sounds very high school to me. It might also make some other dem lunatic decide to up the game. Just a really stupid idea - just focus on MAGA.
Friends! Americans! Countrymen! Lend me your ears!
Stay in Canada please .
What a childish post.
It’s worked out so well for Trump you can be sure Biden will be wearing a band-aid
I’m sure Amazon lists different styles, right next to the chainsaw ads.
I don’t think I said I was moving....so, no worries.
FWIW, I heard about the ear bandage movement this morning and a few of the sensible hosts covering the convention on conservative media thought it was rather childish (if I may borrow your word) as well. Time will tell.
I did however see a very funny meme with President Trump and his ear bandaged, but the bandage had the My Pillow logo on it. That made me laugh.
As an aside, I am ever so thankful that he’s ok, I pray for his continued safety, and for the sake of America, Canada, and the entire world, I hope he is back in the White House (after a thorough cleaning and fumigation).
It’s better than women were letting things get bloody down below to make a point.
Name the hosts.
Who would be stupid enough to say that? It’s a symbol of their support. It’s a political convention, that’s what they do. What’s next? Comment on all the silly buttons? Hats?
Geez.
It was RAV - Brian, Terrence and I think David Brody.
I’ll try and find the link for you.
Let’s all be fair. Dems may be buying Biden Walkers to be like the cover story on The Economist.
