To be fair, they need the bandage just as much as trump does.
Like. A day or two after the attempt he was out golfing and didn’t have a bandage or anything.
I think it was just a small nick and the blood thinners he’s likely on just makes you bleed like crazy since they prevent clotting. A small scratch looks like a war wound, and would explain why there was blood everywhere but he still has a functional ear.
Like, if he really got shot in the ear, he’d be missing a part of his ear like in Preacher. It won’t just heal back.
