I confess to back pedaling into Trump territory when I wanted to leave discussions about him in the garbage can. My thread on the read-only break room site has 9,600 replies so I thought I'd bring up a new one.
He's not going away.
Haberman's book is out based on interviews. I won't read it, but the excerpts are interesting. Especially what he says about McConnell, a description that's against the Terms of Service here, but I actually don't disagree with. LOL
Quote
“At one point, Trump made a candid admission that was as jarring as it was ultimately unsurprising. ‘The question I get asked more than any other question: “If you had it to do again, would you have done it?”’Trump said of running for president. ‘The answer is, yeah, I think so. Because here’s the way I look at it. I have so many rich friends and nobody knows who they are.’ … Reflecting on the meaning of having been president of the United States, his first impulse was not to mention public service, or what he felt he’d accomplished, only that it appeared to be a vehicle for fame, and that many experiences were only worth having if someone else envied them.”
He'll give the medical info right after he discloses his tax records. Although it's hard to tell for sure, they might have put a few small stitches or steri-strips to close the wound. but that would've generated more stories with pictures he doesn't want anyone to see.
So his medical team is Ronny Jackson, who is possibly his most unhinged sycophant, and this is frankly bizarre to me.
The injury is obvious. What is it you need to know?

I don't believe I said I needed to know anything. Can you tell me what part of my post you're referring to?
But since you asked, I would disagree that the injury is obvious. Can you tell me what exactly his injury is? I mean in medical terms.
I watched the video of the incident. I saw Trump rapidly raise his had to his ear. I saw that his ear was bleeding, I saw a wound on the top his ear which, due to the blood present there was impossible to evaluate properly. Normally a healthcare professional will clean a wound and examine it using things such as special bright lamps they use in the healthcare setting before proceeding with further treatment.
Since you said the injury was obvious, what would you have done in the same circumstances?

Oooohhh
Dr Ronny Jackson released a statement about Trump's injury.
That's interesting. Dr Jackson didn't treat Trump and Dr Jackson isn't Trump's primary care physician. He is a retired naval captain who was demoted for unacceptable conduct and terrible judgement on the job as White House physician. He's a liar too. His official House of Representatives Bio says that he retired as rear Admiral. He did not. He retired as a Captain.
Why don't you watch the video of him getting shot in the ear? That's what I know.

Of course a thorough assessment by the Dr. I was reffering to why is there such irritation that a Dr didn't make a public announcement?

I watched the event live and then rewatched the video. So you don't know anything about the injury except what Trump's political team has told you.
Irritation? I'm not irritated. It's just unusual to not get a briefing from the medical team that treated a former and potentially future president. You seem to be pushing back against that, why?

I watched it live as well. Not to mention you can easily find it any where.
There are several people claiming that it was either a set up or that glass from a teleprompter cut his ear. They often state that this is proof because no Dr report has been released.
I'd image this is the conspiracy theory propaganda your media is telling you.
Or, at the very least, trying to sow the seeds of doubt.
So what's your take then? What do you need a Dr report to tell you that you have seen and rewatched already?

Does he still have an outer ear? How much is missing... Will he be deformed or need plastic surgery.

You may imagine what you prefer. All I've done is wonder why the norms have once again been abandoned by Trump.
Oh no, sowing seeds of doubt... maybe like repeating the claim that Biden is incapacitated by dementia?
My take is that it's unusual for the medical team who treated him to not provide a briefing on their assessment and treatment. What we all saw provides exactly zero details about a medical assessment that Trump reportedly received.

It's pretty straight forward. It happened live on TV, what do you suppose a Dr assessment will accomplish?
No need for a Biden assessment. We can see with our own eyes that Biden is declining and most of msm media including left msm is acknowledging it as well. Some in his own party are encouraging him to step down. Seem you haven't caught up.
Trump's flesh wound doesn't interfere with his ability to be POTUS. You may say other things do but not this. So why the need for a detailed report? Seems silly.
"Hello US. I was the Dr who looked at Trump's ear. It seems there is a minor flesh would caused by a bullet. No other injury noted and no long term adverse effects expected....."
Redundant.
So youbare just wondering why the is no official report? Who cares? Unless you're suggesting a conspiracy.
