Donald Trump appeared with a bandage during the Republican National Convention after being injured in an attack last weekend during an electoral rally in Pennsylvania.
His doctor, Dr. Ronny Jackson, told TMZ that the former president suffered a significant injury to the ear due to a gunshot, but it will not require surgery.
Jackson, who was the White House physician during Trump's presidency, gave an idea of how exactly the injury of the current presidential candidate of the United States looks.
The bullet went through the top part of his ear, lacerating the tissue and the cartilage, which, according to him, explains why Trump was bleeding so much when he was protecting himself on stage and leaving the scene of the shooting.
Dr. Jackson also reported that Trump did not suffer concussions during the incident and will not need further treatment for his recovery, presumably meaning that surgery will not be required.
Jackson claims that Trump's ear should heal on its own.
On Monday afternoon, after receiving enough delegate votes at the Republican National Convention, former President Donald Trump was officially nominated as his party's candidate to compete in the upcoming presidential elections in the United States.
In this way, Trump, 78 years old, will compete in his third consecutive election, winning in 2016 and losing in 2020. He will face Joe Biden again, the current president of the United States, on November 5th.
The Convention - which began with a prayer and the national anthem - will last until Thursday and has reserved an absolute role for the president, following the attack suffered last Saturday.
The attacker, a young man just 20 years old identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, fired from the roof of a building located about 140 meters from the stage where Trump was speaking. After being shot down by Secret Service agents, a semi-automatic AR-15 rifle was found near his body.
