Another day, another conspiracy theory involving President Donald Trump. This time, a newly emerged photo of him from the White House Situation Room has fueled fresh rumors among social media users regarding the 2024 assassination attempt.
Now, netizens have compared new photos of the president with ones taken before the widely reported assassination attempt during which a bullet clipped his ear.
Namely, the assassination attempt in question happened back in 2024 during a presidential campaign rally near Butler, Pennsylvania. The rally was interrupted by gunfire shots coming from the rooftop.
During the shooting, a spectator, 50-year-old Corey Comperatore, was killed, while two others were critically injured.
The shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crook, was killed by the US Secret Service.
In the weeks following the assassination attempt, Trump wore a white bandage on his ear and so did a number of his supporters in sign of solidarity.
However, the most recent photo of the president with a clear view of his right ear sparked controversy yet again, with many Internet users questioning why there aren’t any visible signs of injury on it.
“Isn’t this the ear that apparently took a bullet?” one X user wrote.
Another joked: “Trump should forget the Nobel peace prize and go for the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for naturally regrowing an ear. It’s never been done before.”
A third posted, “That photo from the situation room just shows the miraculous healing to Trump’s ear.”
Someone else posted: “Ear cartilage generally does NOT regrow.”

“Likely the biggest scam ever,” accused another.
At the time, former White House physician Ronny Jackson said of Trump’s wound: “There was initially significant bleeding, followed by marked swelling of the entire upper ear.
“The swelling has since resolved, and the wound is beginning to granulate and heal properly.
“Based on the highly vascular nature of the ear, there is still intermittent bleeding requiring a dressing to be in place. Given the broad and blunt nature of the wound itself, no sutures were required.”
Some hit back at the conspiracy theorists, with one person sharing: “How exactly was it faked in an outdoor setting with 1000’s of witnesses and dozens of cameras. One of those cameras picked up the bullet in mid air.”

Another shared: “This man came within inches of getting his head blown off and you say stupid sh** like this.”
A third posted: “What you’re insinuating is horrible. Trump was nearly killed. Cory Compentore was a father and a firefighter who was murdered by that whacko. Suggesting this was a setup is low. Next time, please think before you post something.. Sheesh.”
