According to CNN, former White House doctor Ronny Jackson said on the 20th local time that Trump was shot in the right ear during the shooting at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on the 13th, and the bullet was less than a quarter inch (0.635 cm) away from his head.

Jackson, who served as Trump and Obama's physician, has been with Trump since the night of the shooting, assessing his condition and treating his wounds daily.

Jackson said in a statement on the 20th that Trump was shot in the right ear, the bullet was less than a quarter inch (0.635 cm) away from his head, the wound was about three-quarters of an inch (1.905 cm) wide, and there was "obvious" bleeding and swelling initially. The wound did not require stitches.

The statement showed that the swelling of the wound has subsided and started to heal, but there is still "intermittent bleeding" due to the concentration of blood vessels in the ear. Jackson said that Trump underwent a head CT scan during the initial assessment and will receive further assessments, including a comprehensive hearing test, as needed.

"In short, former President Trump is in good condition and is recovering from his gunshot wounds as expected," Jackson said, adding, "It's absolutely a miracle that he wasn't killed."

On the evening of the 20th local time, when Trump took the stage at a campaign rally in Michigan, he wore a smaller beige bandage on his ear. This was his first time attending a campaign rally since he was shot.

Trump has worn a larger white bandage over his ear at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, prompting the crowd to imitate him.
