Trump’s doctor reveals shocking new details about ex-president’s bullet wound – and just how close he came to dying | 20 July 2024 | A former physician to Donald Trump revealed it’s an “absolute miracle he wasn’t killed” after examining his ear post-assassination attempt. Ronny L. Jackson, 57, met Trump, 78, in Bedminster, New Jersey following his near-death experience to “personally check on him.” “I am extremely thankful his life was spared,” Jackson wrote in a Saturday letter, uploaded to Truth Social by Trump. “It was an absolute miracle he wasn’t killed.” The doctor said Trump sustained a two-centimeter – roughly one inch – gunshot wound during last week’s attempted assassination. Jackson revealed the Republican nominee had to undergo a CT scan of his head in Pennsylvania after the bullet clipped his ear, and that his injury continues “intermittent bleeding,” which requires him to keep his bandage on – which has since become a symbol of solidarity among his supporters.
