In summary, former President Trump is doing well, and he is recovering as expected from the gunshot wound sustained last Saturday afternoon. I am extremely thankful his life was spared, ... it was an absolute miracle he wasn't killed.”
Based on the highly vascular nature of the ear, there is still intermittent bleeding requiring a dressing to be in place,
Glad his wound is healing!”
The bullet passed, coming less than a quarter of an inch from entering his head, and struck the top of his right ear,
He will have further evaluations, including a comprehensive hearing exam, as needed,
During Manmohan Ji's government, GIFT City was coming here, and we welcomed it. Modi Ji took GIFT City to Gujarat. Now giving GIFT City to Gujarat and Adani City to Maharashtra, we will not let this happen.”
I want to thank them for their outstanding care. They provided a thorough evaluation for additional injuries that included a CT of his head. He will have further evaluations, including a comprehensive hearing exam, as needed. He will follow up with his primary care physician, as directed by the doctors that initially evaluated him,
Given the broad and blunt nature of the wound itself, no sutures were required,

If a bullet whizzes by your ear from a low-caliber handgun, it's not a big deal.... You get a headache or feel dizzy like a bad concussion, ... But if the bullet is from an assault rifle, the energy is bigger, broader, and you're more likely to develop bruises."
In brief: Ronny Jackson isn't a doctor. Which is perfect, because Trump wasn't hit by a bullet,
If I had not moved my head at that very last instant, the assassin’s bullet would have perfectly hit its mark,
The bullet track produced a 2cm wide wound that extended down to the cartilaginous surface of the ear. There was initially significant bleeding, followed by a marked swelling of the entire upper ear,
I told the president that if he had a healthier diet over the last 20 years, he might live to be 200 years old".
I am extremely thankful his life was spared,
I heard a loud whizzing sound and felt something hit me really, really hard on my right ear,
A full public assessment of Trump’s injuries is necessary, for both the former president’s own health and the clarity it can provide for voters about the recovery of the man who could become president of the United States once again,
It’s not even clear that he was struck by a primary projectile from the rifle, a secondary projectile or a combination of both,
