… and just how close he came to dying.
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.
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 Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, opened fire at a rally in Pennsylvania one week ago, killing one bystander and wounding two others.
