Trump’s Prior Physician Discloses Trump’s Injuries From Violent Rally

Representative Ronny Jackson (R-TX) issued an update Sunday on former President Donald Trump’s health after last week’s breakout attempt at a rally in Butler, PA.

The injury and Trump’s recuperation were detailed by Jackson, who previously served as the appointed physician to Trump while he was in office.

“As the former appointed Physician to the President for President Donald J. Trump, I was naturally very concerned, as was the entire world, about his wellbeing after the assassination attempt on his life,” Jackson began. “As such, I met him in Bedminster, New Jersey, late that evening to personally check on him and offer my assistance in any way possible.”

Jackson had spent nearly every day this past week treating Trump: “He is doing well. As reported and witnessed by the entire world, he sustained a gunshot wound to the right ear from a high-powered rifle used by the would-be assassin.”

“The bullet passed, coming less than a quarter of an inch from entering his head, and struck the top of his right ear. 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 marked swelling of the entire upper ear,” Jackson continued. “The swelling has since resolved, and the wound is beginning to granulate and properly heal. Based on the highly vascular nature of the ear, there is still intermittent bleeding requiring a dressing to be in place. Given the broad and blunt nature of the wound itself, no sutures were required.”

He also applauded the medical team at Butler Memorial Hospital, from where Trump was transferred to Walter Reed.

“I want to thank them for their outstanding care,” he said. “They provided a thorough evaluation for additional injuries, 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.”

“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 is an absolute miracle he wasn’t killed,” Jackson concluded, adding that he planned to be at Trump’s side during his planned Saturday rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and through the weekend before he returned to Washington, D.C., on Monday.
