Former tennis star Martina Navratilova, who is known for her left-wing views, has suggested that Donald Trump’s ear bandage is an obvious PR stunt.
On the X platform, where she has a Black Lives Matter hashtag in her profile, the 67-year-old Czech-American questioned the necessity of Donald Trump’s ear bandage after he was nearly assassinated at a Pennsylvania rally over the weekend.
“A good friend of mine is the charge nurse (Level IV FNP) at a major trauma center in a huge city,” one user posted. “She says there’s absolutely no need to dress an ear wound like this unless half his ear was blown off. And even then, it wouldn’t look like this.”
And this is how Navratilova responded: “Of course- this is obviously a PR stunt- the day after the shooting he had no dressing on his ear… not even a band-Aid.”
Star Wars actor Mark Hamill echoed similar sentiments, calling Trump’s bandage “ludicrously oversized,” suggesting it was merely for show.
In response to those mocking his father’s injury, Donald Trump Jr. defended him, calling it yet another example of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
“He wasn’t shot in the face enough for them. It wasn’t enough?” Trump Jr told Fox News on Wednesday.
“That’s the point. They can’t help themselves. The Trump Derangement Syndrome is real. It’s so asinine that they could say that… You see the photograph at the time. There’s blood everywhere,” he added.
