Donald Trump appeared to be shot in the ear as shots were fired at the former president at a rally in Pennsylvania.

Trump grabbed at the side of his face and blood spattered across his cheek as several popping sounds were heard.

        My bad, thanks for the info. I was watching a low quality broadcast, thought him going down was him collapsing.

        One of the agents did hand his hat back to him though judging from the close up shots. I guess he likes his hat.

        There’s another image of him where you can clearly see the wound and yeah it’s literally just grazed his ear. Unfortunate but it is probably not going to kill him.

      To be fair, he looks pretty good for an old man who just got shot. Didn’t even break character. Watching in slow motion it looks like the bullet meant for his head only grazed his ear. He’s gonna be fine.

        Did lose a portion of his ear, but it probably was fast enough that adrenaline took over.

        Will have to see what his follow up response is.
