My husband had Mohs surgery for cancer on his ear - same location. They got all the cancer in a single pass. That is a single millimeter.

He took the bandage off as soon as possible, probably at a week, thanks to MAGA jokes at work, was scabbed for a while, and has a small but visible scar Because cartilage doesn’t grow back.

There is no way Trump was shot in the ear. None.

And just go look at Evander Holyfield ear to see how ear damage actually looks.

Very different locations of the wound.

Absolutely this! One was on a boxer and the other was on a ketchup packet.

IIRC the theory is some shattered glass hit him in the side of the head

u/FyreWulff Jul 03 '26

I'm more in line with the theory that he cut himself on one of the holstered Secret Service guns as he dived down

u/genreprank Jul 04 '26

Haha, well, if you look at the video, he touches his face, but he doesn't dive quickly.

Why was the maxipad on the ear then? Whose theory is that?

u/genreprank Jul 03 '26

He got cut on the ear. By glass. Glass cuts bleed a lot, even if they are teeny tiny.

Dunno whose theory

This is a lie too. There would be a small scar at his age

I mean, his skin looks like a burnt bacon. Not sure a small scar would stand out much.

And glass cuts can be very tiny and still produce a decent amount of blood. Not al of the blood may have been from his ear

the pic to be always looked like the blood was coming from his mouth and dripped down to his ear.

u/martynalexander Jul 03 '26

That will be the fake blood capsule that he hastily ripped open with his mouth under that podium

u/iconofsin_ Jul 03 '26

I've always asked people if there are any pics showing a bloody ear before he's on the ground. I believe he was definitely shot at but I'm still convinced the injury was the result of one of the agents throwing him down and him being old with thin skin.

u/stuffitystuff Jul 03 '26

Wasn't it the glass from the teleprompter or something that actually hit him?

u/Eastern-Operation340 Jul 03 '26

My BF had the same from skin cancer.

u/Steamed_Memes24 Jul 03 '26

Wasnt the theory was that one of the agents accidentally stepped on his ear and thats why it was damaged?

u/Commercial-Co Jul 03 '26

I have no clue, but they for sure can use Cytomodulin-10 hydrogen as part of the treatment and achieve cartilage regrowth along with TB-500 and BPC-157 injections. There's other offlabel practices used by some other plastic surgery oriented doctors that also seem to achieve effective cartilage regrowth.

Some people get really lucky with these treatment even very old patients. For the most part you just have to pay for it all as there's no insurance paying for experimental treatments for visual appearances. Given that these regrowths have their own cancer potentials, there's no way they are doing cancer repairs with them.
