Republican supporters and delegates have begun showing support for Donald Trump by wearing fake ear bandages on their ears “in solidarity” with the former US President, who recently survived an assassination attempt.
Gunman, Thomas Crooks opened fire at Trump’s rally on Saturday, injuring the former president on his right ear and k!lling Corey Comperatore, 50. Two others were injured: David Dutch, 57, and James Copenhaver, 74, both of whom are now in a stable condition. Investigators are still working to uncover a motive for the shooting.
Agents found him in their sights and one pulled the trigger seconds after the 20-year-old fired sh0ts.
Trump surprised audiences at the Republican National Convention on Monday by making his first public appearance since the shooting, where he greeted supporters while wearing a white bandage wrapped around his ear.
On the second night of the convention, delegates and attendees were photographed wearing makeshift “bandages” from folded-up slips of paper to pieces of tape on their right ears to showcase their solidarity with Trump.
Arizona delegate Joe Neglia was among the first individuals captured on camera donning an ear bandage during the second evening of the convention. Neglia shared with CBS News that he improvised by folding up an envelope during the bus ride to the event, using it as a makeshift bandage on his right ear.
“This is the newest fashion trend. I’m getting this going. Everybody in the world is going to be wearing these pretty soon,” Neglia said.
