Trump has had a bandaged ear since the gun attack at the weekend. But the former president is not the only one wearing a gauze bandage at the Republican Party convention in Milwaukee.
The bandage on the ear of presidential candidate Donald Trump inspired a few supporters at the Republican Party Convention in Milwaukee: Some Republicans stuck a gauze bandage on their ears as a sign of solidarity. However, it cannot be called a mass phenomenon. The number of Republicans with bandages on their ears at the convention is rather small.
Trump was injured in the deadly attack on the weekend in his right ear. Since then, he has been wearing a white bandage on his ear. Since Monday (local time), the 78-year-old has come into the event hall every evening with a bandaged ear and is celebrated by the audience. At the beginning of the party convention, he was officially named the Republican presidential candidate. Since then, however, he has not spoken on stage – the candidate’s big speech is traditionally the conclusion of the party convention and is planned for the German night of Friday.
A gunman opened fire at a campaign rally in the state of Pennsylvania on Saturday. He was killed by security forces. One visitor died and two others were seriously injured. T-shirts are already being sold on the sidelines of the party convention in Milwaukee, printed with a photo of the former president with a blood-smeared cheek and an outstretched fist in front of a US flag.
