Trump Reflects on Assassination Attempt Anniversary, Credits God, Reports Lingering Ear Pain

News summary

On July 13, 2024, President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where a gunman fired eight shots, one grazing Trump's right ear. Despite the injury, Trump continued his campaign and ultimately secured the presidency. A year later, Trump still experiences occasional throbbing pain in his ear, which he discussed in interviews, crediting God for saving his life and expressing a sense of obligation to serve the country. Plastic surgeon Dr. Frederick Weniger evaluated images of Trump's ear and noted impressive healing with no obvious signs of complications, suggesting that Trump likely allowed the injury to heal naturally without reconstructive surgery. The surgeon observed some minor ear irregularities and differences in skin tone, possibly due to tissue loss or skin grafting, but overall the recovery appeared stable and well-concealed. Trump reflected on the surreal experience and the narrow escape, emphasizing the impact it has had on his perspective and presidency.
