Tennis legend Martina Navratilova isn't buying Donald Trump's enormous ear bandage at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee following the failed assassination attempt on the ex-President in Pennsylvania over the weekend.

Responding to a comment on X, the winner of 18 major singles titles described Trump's bandage as a 'PR stunt,' which drew criticism from conservatives online.

Specifically, Navratilova was accused of minimizing the attempt on Trump's life.

Trump should tear it up during his speech.

Why, yes.

Every cndidate should be so lucky as to get shot at in the head for purposes of profiting from the follow up bandage on the ear when the head shot misses.

No wonder! That's her on the left. She looks like Judas Pence.

“All you troll fart checkers take a break.”

LOL re “fart checkers” - whether intentional or a typo, I’m stealing that one.

I wanted to post a photo of Trump leaving the rally with his bloodied ear. I just saw it today. It’s not the one with his fist in the air, it’s a few seconds later. Unfortunately, even duck duck go is suppressing it in their search engine.

This is bizarre given she’s on the same side as Trump on her number 1 existential women’s sports competition issue...

Forget this distraction. The left would rather have Republicans venting than staying on the best message they’ve had in decades.

We care about this why?

Washed up sports figure has an opinion. BFD. I can throw a bagel and hit 4 people with opinions equally as valid as hers.

Here’s an idea, shoot her in the face and we can call it a PR stunt

She played tennis for so long she’s almost a doctor.

the ear and nose bleed like crazy when injured so the bandage is to prevent Trump from touching his ear which can cause the bleed to start up again

Years ago I was listening to a talk show on WWWE out of Cleveland. So one of the hosts jumps in with “breaking news”. Martina Navratilova is dead. Everyone is like, WHAT!?!

“Yeah”, he says. “They found her face down in Riki Lake”

You could hear everyone in the studio laughing hysterically. I was too!
