It is when you don't aim at your target, and don't actually hit the targets ear. It's really easy to fake a cut ear

Did anyone actually see a scar on his ear ever?  He wore that tampon on the side of his head for a week and nobody ever mentioned it again

He got "really good plastic surgery" immediately after to fix it

Is it really so unbelievable that the world’s vainest billionaires is wearing makeup?

u/numbersthen0987431 13d ago

I believe it

But I also believe he'd fake an assassination attempt so he could role play as Reagan. He is definitely that dumb

I'd also believe someone like Steven Miller, Steve Bannon, or Roger Stone would have been willing to pay someone to martyr Trump and not care one way or the other which way the actual attempt went.

I'm pretty sure I remember his personal doctor saying something about big damage to his ear, which was just miraculously healed a week later.

Yes. I mean, have you seen how the orange makeup is applied lately? But he gets the ear right every day?

It's unbelievable because there's no way that his ear would have actually healed enough to hide it with makeup in the short time between the "attempt" and the bandage coming off

Anyone who has ever had a cartilage piercing in the upper ear knows how long that part of the body takes to heal

Medical professional here. Ive seen plenty of ears, among every other body part that have genuinely been shot or caught shrapnel. And all varieties of caliber, circumstances etc.

His was 100% a knick or scratch or pressure injury from being tackled by his own security detail when they jumped him behind the podium. It gushed because hes on blood thinners for his horrible venous stasis, CAD, atherosclerosis. And hes probably a lifer in terms of clot prophylaxis due to his incredibly, blatantly piss poor health that you witness anytime hes on camera.

The dude wears TED hose. Constantly bruises where phlebotomists commonly draw blood labs (beings on the top of the hand are the go to spit for blood draws). Hell, we collectively witnessed him experience a TIA or several of them on camera live. The man's entire face lost tone live on camera, with lateral drooping of his eyelid, cheek tone, lateral mouth. He has absolutely suffered multiple strokes (or more likely "mini strokes"... TIAs, where the clotted vessel resolves itself and his signs and symptoms normalize... at least thus far). Im in healthcare and see it daily. The dude is a massive stroke risk and even without access to his private medical info, its not needed as I can check half a dozen extremely high risk signs of him being a stroke risk just from a general assessment whenever hes on camera.

But our rapidly overturning news cycles dont allow the public to have an ongoing discussion over it because we have to move on to his next issue, scandal, stunt.

Its not normal to have one entire side of your face/body/extremities lose tone. Its not normal to have the dorsal surface of your hands black and blue from bruises. Requiring makeup to cover black, and purple skin, or generalized ghost white skin palor. Its not normal for one's ankles to noticeably swell whenever one sits for a time or stands for a time. Its not normal to casually be taking 325mg aspirin daily (as he personally claims). A doctor might prescribe an 81mg prophylactic dose ("baby" aspirin) for anything related to clotting concerns or artificial valves or stents etc. But even that is unlikely, as the effects of antiplatelet meds like aspirin take up to a week to normalize and is not the gold standard like xarelto/plavix/lovenox ot heparin.. hell even coumadin would make more sense, as hed need frequent blood tests to adjust dosing. Its not normal to start falling asleep once one stops moving and has to sit for longer than 15 minutes. Its not normal to need to be whisked off to the hospital repeatedly by your staff. Its not normal to struggle with ones continence.

Those arent healthy aging milestones. Those are not normal in healthy adults. Those are clear signs of horrible health and repercussions of a lifetime of horrible health.

Trump has a shit heart. Shit vasculature. A shit impulsive stroke brain. He cant stay awake if he becomes stationary for longer than a moment. We all witness it over and over but his handlers smile and distract us.

If he didnt have the highest qualified medical care on earth. If he were just some regular Jo shmo fat ass eating nothing but burgers and ketchup and hanging out at home being as sedentary as he currently is, hed likely have died by now. Or had a full blown CVA. His wealth and power have saved his bacon repeatedly.

But we get to be gaslit over this type of stuff daily until it becomes too much to follow and we apathetically tune out and move on to the next controversy.

Or that the president of the united states maybe has access to the best doctors, medicine, technology and procedures available?

u/combustablegoeduck 11d ago

The guy that never shuts up about how great he is at everything? I would assume he would never shut up about something that could actually cause him trauma, wear the scar as a badge, and use that as the reason for everything for the rest of his life.

u/Pixeldevil06 9d ago

Sure if he wasn't notoriously bad at makeup.

if he thought it would win him votes and keep him out of prison, he would 100% walk around with a disfigured ear
