Trump remains silent on medical treatment details following assassination attempt for several days

Four days have passed since an attempt to assassinate former President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania. There is a lack of clarity regarding the extent of his injuries, the medical treatment received, and the potential long-term effects on his health. Trump’s campaign has chosen not to disclose his condition, provide a medical report or records, or make his treating physicians available to the public.

The initial information about Trump’s condition was shared about 30 minutes after the shooting incident, confirming he was “fine” and undergoing evaluation at a local medical facility. Subsequently, Trump revealed on social media that he had been hit by a bullet in the upper part of his right ear, clarifying earlier reports of shrapnel or debris injuries. Congressman Ronny Jackson stated that Trump sustained damage to a portion of his ear but assured that the injury would heal without the need for further intervention.

Despite making public appearances at the Republican National Convention with a bandage over his ear, there has been no recent update on Trump’s condition or treatment from his campaign or other authorities. Trump’s medical history has followed a pattern of limited information disclosure, including his 2016 campaign when he opted not to release comprehensive medical records. During his bout with COVID-19 in 2020, details about his illness and treatment were also selectively shared with the public, raising concerns about transparency regarding his health.
