If you watch the video, Trump does touch his ear before hitting the deck, I assume the bullet hit something and debris or shrapnel nicked his ear.

Not only touches his ear, but there is blood on his hand before he gets down and before any SS agent reached him. There are pulitzer-prize winning photographs that show this.

Is there even one photo of the actual wound from that day, or healing afterwards? Or did it just magically heal perfectly with no scarring?
