Reporter Grills Trump On ‘Scars’ From Assassination Attempt At Press Conference — Trump Misidentifies Own Earlobe

A reporter grilled former President Donald Trump about the injury he suffered during an assassination attempt — and got a response that included an anatomical flub.

Trump has largely been off the campaign trail as Vice President and presumptive Democratic nominee for president Kamala Harris has been crisscrossing the country with her new VP pick Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN).

But Harris has taken criticism from the media for not giving a press conference or interview in that time, which Trump hoped to capitalize on with a “general news conference” at Mar-a-Lago.

On Thursday afternoon, Trump spoke to reporters for over an hour in a chaotic and falsehood-riddled press conference that included an exchange with a reporter Trump identified only as “Red Dress.”

She asked him for details on his recovery from the injury — which has been the subject of rampant speculation and conspiracy theories — and Trump indicated he was grazed in the “lobe” — while pointing to the helix and antihelix area:

DONALD TRUMP: Please — red dress. Red dress.

RED DRESS: On the assassination. Is your ear fully recovered? Are there scars or any other damage?

DONALD TRUMP: Yeah. Pretty, pretty much recovered. Yeah. I’m a fast healer. It’s a hell of a shot.

RED DRESS: Do you have —

DONALD TRUMP: But I’m a fast healer. Yeah, pretty much pretty much recovered.

RED DRESS: Do you have any hearing damage?

DONALD TRUMP: No, it didn’t hit that. I got very lucky. It just. It just hit the lobe, as they call it.

(POINTS TO NOT THE LOBE)

RED DRESS: Is there a scar? Is there a scar on your ear?

DONALD TRUMP: Yeah, a little bit. Not much.

CLOTHING UNSPECIFIED: (INAUDIBLE)

DONALD TRUMP: On top. A Little bit.

The “lobe,” as people call it, is that dangly part at the bottom where you put hoop earrings.
