Ex-RNC Chair Michael Steele Asks 5 Pressing Questions About Trump's Rally Injuries

Former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele on Tuesday asked for transparency when it came to the injuries that Donald Trump sustained during the attempt on his life at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.

Trump has “not provided any medical updates or information, neither has the hospital that treated him,” Steele noted on X , formerly Twitter.

Steele responded to a post that highlighted how no official medical report has been released about the former president’s condition.

The GOP nominee’s face was bloodied as Secret Service agents rushed him off the stage and into a nearby vehicle. Trump claimed to the New York Post that a doctor who treated him told him that he’d never seen “anything like this, he called it a miracle.” Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), who served as Trump’s White House doctor, told The New York Times that “the bullet took a little bit off the top of his ear in an area that, just by nature, bleeds like crazy.”

But “outside of Trump telling us he’s ‘fine,’ how severe was the wound?” asked Steele. “Did he loose part of his ear (bullets do terrible things to flesh)? How long for recovery? Will the wound require cosmetic surgery?”

“What about reports that it may not have been a bullet which wounded him but glass from the shattered teleprompter?” the former GOP grandee added, acknowledging that if he “missed such reports from his campaign or the hospital please post.”

Trump has worn a large bandage on his right ear following the assassination attempt, a look that has inspired a new “fashion trend” at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
