Former President Trump has confirmed that he sustained multiple injuries during a recent incident, including a partial loss of his ear.
In an interview with the New York Post, Trump revealed that he was struck with considerable force by Secret Service agents who rushed to protect him, causing his shoes to fly off.
Despite his injuries, Trump expressed admiration for the agents’ prompt action, stating, “They took him out with one shot right between the eyes.
They did a fantastic job.” Trump also displayed a sizable bruise on his forearm, which he sustained when he hit the ground.
The former president’s ear injury was visible, covered by a white bandage, and he confirmed that a small chunk of his ear is indeed gone.

Despite these injuries, Trump plans to attend the funeral of Corey Comperatore, who tragically lost his life during the rally. Trump commended the attendees at the event for remaining calm in the face of chaos. “I love them. They are such great people.
“I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin,” Mr. Trump wrote later on his social media site.
“Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening.” Mr. Trump said he was “shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear.”
