Over the weekend, ex-President and 2024 Republican frontrunner Donald Trump was the target of what has now been formally dubbed an assassination attempt, after shots rang out at his Pennsylvania rally Saturday evening.
Ultimately, the former president was left shaken, but largely unharmed, suffering only a minor nick to the top of his right ear by an AR-15 bullet, fired from a nearby roof by the gunman who has since been identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks.
Crooks was almost immediately “neutralized” by armed forces at the rally and his death was confirmed by Butler County District Attorney Richard A Goldinger.

However, as more and more information begins to come to light surrounding Saturday’s violent attack, more and more questions and confusion regarding the matter are coming to the surface as well — and critics are beginning to rightfully demand some answers as we seem to be getting the largest majority of information from social media while some people feel that the former president and his campaign are showing a resounding lack of transparency.
It seems that pressure has finally gotten to the ex-president, as he’s now released a truly bizarre letter from a doctor that he claims covers the scope of his medical status and condition following the assassination attempt.
The only catch?
The letter is from his former White House physician Ronny Jackson — the very same Trump sycophant who was credibly accused of running a “pill mill” out of the Trump White House.
Trump is slated to hold his first rally since the attempt on his life in Michigan this evening. Just hours before the rally is set to start, Trump posted the long-winded letter from Jackson to his Truth Social account.
“The bullet passed, coming less than a quarter of an inch from entering his head, and struck the top of his right ear. The bullet track produced a 2 cm wide wound that extended down to the cartilaginous surface of the ear,” Jackson writes. “There was initially significant bleeding, followed by marked swelling of the entire upper ear.”
Ronny goes on to claim that “there is still intermittent bleeding requiring a dressing to be in place.”
“Given the broad and blunt nature of the wound itself, no sutures were required,” he wrote. “It is an absolute miracle he wasn’t killed.”
This is a far cry from the analysis of Dr. Anthony Fauci, who told CNN earlier today that no medical records have been released, essentially because there probably aren’t any because it simply wasn’t a huge deal and Trump’s “injury” was “superficial,” at best.
