Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), a former White House physician, shared an update on former President Trump’s gunshot wound in a Saturday memo.
“As the former appointed Physician to the President for President Donald J. Trump, I was naturally very concerned, as was the entire world, about his wellbeing after the assassination attempt on his life,” Jackson said in the memo. “As such, I met him in Bedminster, New Jersey, late that evening to personally check on him, and offer my assistance in any way possible.”
Trump faced an assassination attempt last weekend at a rally in Butler, Pa., during which a bullet struck one of his ears. The former president has been recently seen sporting a bandage on the ear that got hit.
“I have been with President Trump since that time, and I have evaluated and treated his wound daily,” Jackson said in his memo. “He is doing well. As reported and witnessed by the entire world, he sustained a gunshot wound to the right ear from a high-powered rifle used by the would be assassin.”
“The bullet passed, coming less than a quarter of an inch from entering his head, and struck the top of his right ear,” Jackson continued. “The bullet track produced a 2 cm wide wound that extended down to the cartilaginous surface of the ear. There was initially significant bleeding, followed by marked swelling of the entire upper ear. The swelling has since resolved, and the wound is beginning to granulate and heal properly. Based on the highly vascular nature of the ear, there is still intermittent bleeding requiring a dressing to be in place. Given the broad and blunt nature of the wound itself, no sutures were required.”
According to an interview published earlier this week in The New York Times, Jackson had been onboard Trump’s plane the day following the rally. He redressed Trump’s ear while flying to Wisconsin for the Republican National Convention.
“The bullet took a little bit off the top of his ear in an area that, just by nature, bleeds like crazy,” Jackson told the Times. “The dressing’s bulked up a bit because you need a bit of absorbent. You don’t want to be walking around with bloody gauze on his ear.”
