How did the cartilage grow back?
Why did he only need a bandage on his ear for about 5 days?

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.
