Just when you think the MAGAs cannot possibly get any worse…
As we’re all painfully aware of by this point, scandal-plagued former President and now-2024 Republican presidential nominee Donald J. Trump was the target of a bona fide assassination attempt at his Pennsylvania rally Saturday evening.
All in all, the felony-convicted ex-president was shaken, but largely unharmed by the violent attack that only left him with a minor injury to the top of his right ear, where a bullet fired from an AR-15 rifle, fired from a nearby roof by the gunman who has since been identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, grazed past his head on stage.
Despite such a dramatic and terrifying event, Donald Trump still showed up to the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Monday, not even 48 hours after his life quite literally hung in the balance.
As we all expected, the former president made a rather dramatic entrance into the event, complete with a rather large and gaudy white bandage taking over almost his entire right ear.

Now, of course, we expected him to have some sort of cover on the injury — considering he was hit, however mildly, with a literal bullet.
However, it’s hard not to have at least a small feeling that Donald went a little overboard with his bandaging in an effort to get a smidge extra attention and sympathy for the whole ordeal — and boy, did he receive it.
Now images have gone viral on social media that appear to show people in attendance at the RNC, wearing fake bandages on their right ears in, I guess… Some sort of bizarre solidarity with the Republican presidential nominee.

Why not? After all, many had started wearing diapers to proclaim their support for their not-yet-potty-trained toddler leader.

I say this so often, but you genuinely cannot make this stuff up.
