Donald Trump ‘recovering as expected’ from gunshot wound

Trump RNC 2
Intermittent bleeding is still an issue.

Recovery proceeds for former President Donald Trump one week after a sniper’s bullet wounded his ear at a rally in Pennsylvania.

“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,” said U.S. Rep. Ronny Jackson, the former White House doctor during the administrations of Trump and Barack Obama.

Jackson said the wound is “beginning to granulate and properly,” and the major problem at this point is “intermittent bleeding requiring a dressing to be in place.”

“Given the broad and blunt nature of the wound itself, no sutures were required,” the doctor added.

Trump will speak in Grand Rapids, Michigan on Saturday afternoon, with more rallies ahead in the coming days.

But doctors will continue to monitor his condition for any complications, Jackson notes.

“He will have further evaluations, 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.”

    A comprehensive hearing exam is already needed!

    Deep cognitive test.
    After a sonic boom a half inch from his ear canal and an inch or two from his brain.
    Public disclosure of the results.
    (Of course any dementia or crazy would really be a preexisting condition. )

      Cognitive test My Take? Let’s see how Joe does. Your state run media got exposed and at some point the question will be asked to Ka Mana if she noticed anything. Of course the answer would be no because she is one dumb DEI moron.
