A former physician to Donald Trump reveals it’s an ‘absolute miracle he wasn’t killed’ after examining his ear post-assassination attempt.
Ronny L Jackson 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.
The memo from former White House physician Ronny Jackson, now a hardline right-wing lawmaker from Texas, is one of the first detailed accounts of the injury Trump sustained when a young gunman opened fire at a rally in Pennsylvania one week ago, killing one bystander and wounding two others.

‘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,’ Jackson said in a letter.
He also said the former president will have to undergo additional exams, including a ‘comprehensive hearing exam.’
