There are no any key details available about the attack on Donald Trump. The people across the world are not much aware about the information of this incident. The gunman tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania. Many days have passed and still there is no one who knows about his situation and health. Also people are unaware about his injury and medical treatment.
Trump and his teammates have decided to hide information regarding Trump’s health. They don’t share any information about his condition, release a medical report, or allow the doctors who treated him to speak.
In the first 30 minutes, there was no update regarding Trump’s condition. After 30 minutes of the incident some updates came into light. He fell to the ground, clutching his ear, and then definitely raised his fist to the crowd, even as blood streamed down his face.
After the 30 minutes of shooting, his campaign quickly issued a statement that he was fine and getting treatment from a local medical hospital.
The dramatic scene unfolded swiftly, leaving many shocked and concerned for his well-being. However, the campaign’s reassurance provided some relief to his supporters, who were anxiously awaiting news about his health after the incident.
According to his spokesperson, more details about Trump’s health will be shared soon.
At 8:42 pm, Trump finally told the public that he was hit by a bullet, not shrapnel or debris. On his social media, he posted that a bullet pierced the upper part of his right ear.
“I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin”, he wrote.
Presidents and major-party candidates need to balance their right to keep medical information private with the public’s need to know they are healthy. This is crucial when there are any doubts about their readiness.
For example, Trump has asked President Joe Biden to take a cognitive test after Biden’s poor performance in last month’s debate.
Back to 1981, when President Ronald Reagan was shot.The way that hospital handled the shooting case of the president was very good. They informed their supporters with every little situation. They gave detailed updates about his health, condition and treatment. This action from hospital staff kept everyone informed and calm.
But in the case of Trump’s shooting the situation is totally different and worrying. He has been seen at the Republican National Convention with a bandage over his right ear. But there have been no updates from his teammates since Saturday. Despite his officials, his family and loved ones sharing news.
On Monday, Trump’s doctor at White House shared some details. According to Rep. Ronny Jackson, Trump ear is injured and he is missing a small part of his ear at top. But the good news is that it will be healed.
He is lucky, Jackson said on Monday on The Benny show. He added, “ It was far enough away from his head that there were no concussive effects from the bullet. And it just took the top of his ear off, a little bit of the top of his ear off as it passed through.”
He also said in order to prevent further bleeding, it is important to handle the injured area carefully. He also emphasized that unlike a neat cut from a knife or blade, it resembles a bullet’s trajectory passing through. But he also stated confidently that Trump is in good condition and the injured part will heal naturally.
Eric Trump mentioned in a CBS interview that his father did not receive stitches but did have a significant flesh wound. This fits a longstanding pattern where Trump has been reluctant to disclose detailed medical information during his time in politics.
During his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump opted not to share his full medical records, instead presenting a brief statement from his doctor claiming he would be the healthiest president in history. Later, Dr. Harold Bornstein disclosed that he wrote this glowing assessment in just five minutes while a car sent by Trump waited outside to collect it.
Jackson made headlines in 2018 after examining Trump. He said that if Trump will continue to follow the right diet then he could live 200 more years. He also praised Trump’s genes at that time.
In 2020, during the period of COVID-19. Trump also became the victim of this disease but he did not lose hope. Meadows’ book revealed concerns over Trump’s low oxygen levels and ability to walk without help.
