    TMZ dropped a pic with his bandage removed.

    His doctor said that “chunks” were ripped off. His ear looked completely healed- and cartilage doesn’t regrow so that would have to have been reconstructive surgery.

    I’m guessing if it wasn’t some one with a razor cutting for drama… it was a very mild graze.

    All that is assuming TMZ is more or less legit. (Ie the photo isn’t doctored before the rag bought rights to it)

      I just saw a clips of him at a rally from a day or two ago, with no ear bandage, and his ear appeared fine.

        Which would be miraculous rates of healing.

        Even if it was just a shard of glass; there would still be some visible scarring. Also, I’ve see ears get chunks torn out, there’s a lot more blood.

        I just checked out notes on “ear lobe repair” surgery, talking about tears, saying stitches are in for a week with a red scare while healing.

        There’s no way that ear was torn and missing “chunks”. (Shocker…. Trump lied….)

        I have to imagine that Trump has plastic surgeons on standby at all times (he already walks around looking like he’s stuffed with more gauze than a taxidermied sow), so if there was any structural damage, they likely repaired it with a prosthetic.

          Donald Trump is wayyyyy too ugly to have plastic surgeons on standby. That face is McDonalds & KFC.

      Combine with the fact that old people are generally a bit more frail and slower to heal than those that are much younger. Especially when they’re not exactly fit either with a horrendous diet.

      He said he healed like the day after and the doctor said it was a miracle.

      What’s that smell? Bullshiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
