On July 13, 2024, during a political rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt.
Trump was saved by a last-minute head movement, resulting in the bullet hitting his ear instead of his skull. Many believe this near-miss was an act of divine intervention.
Despite the incident occurring 11 days ago, the US government has yet to provide a full account to the public. Emerging details have contradicted several official narratives.
Witnesses reported that government snipers observed the shooter climb a 20-yard sloped roof with a long rifle and did not intervene as he fired at least five shots at Trump.
Additionally, the government has not disclosed the number of bullets fired or the number of casings found at the scene.
During the RNC Convention, Trump appeared on stage with a noticeable patch on his ear. His doctor reported that the injured ear was still bleeding intermittently.
On Tuesday, Trump participated in a series of interviews, without the ear patch.
These photos show the first images of Trump’s damaged ear. The initial photo reveals a bruised ear, but the earlobe remains intact.
Another photo from his interview with Black Pine Video shows a bruised top of the ear.
A closeup image from the side further illustrates the injury.
Many believe that divine intervention protected Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, and express their gratitude for his safety.
