Dr. Ronny Jackson hurried to Bedminster, New Jersey to see Donald Trump after the recent assassination attempt.
He disclosed that Trump’s ear wound, while not life-threatening, continues to bleed intermittently and requires ongoing dressing.
Jackson, who previously served as the White House physician, flew to Trump’s golf course out of friendship and concern.
Despite their personal connection, Jackson professionally assessed Trump’s injury and emotional state following the harrowing incident.
According to Jackson, Trump’s ear wound, caused by a bullet grazing, resulted in significant bleeding due to the ear’s vascular nature.
Although not stitched due to the nature of the wound, it requires careful management to heal properly over the next few days.
Trump’s Recovery Outlook
Trump opted to keep a bandage on his ear to manage occasional bleeding, a precaution more related to the ear’s sensitivity than the severity of the injury.
Jackson reassured that despite the close call, Trump remains in good spirits and is mentally resilient.
Trump’s Post-Incident Plans
Looking ahead, Trump intends to adjust his convention speech in light of recent events, focusing on themes of unity alongside President Joe Biden’s similar calls from the Oval Office.
However, Jackson remains steadfast in his criticisms of Biden’s perceived cognitive issues, a topic likely to feature prominently in his upcoming remarks.
