Former President Donald Trump is recovering as expected from a gunshot wound to his ear, according to his former physician, Ronny Jackson. The injury occurred during a July 13 rally in Pennsylvania when a would-be assassin fired a bullet that narrowly missed Trump's head.

Jackson, now a Texas congressman, provided the first medical description of Trump's injury, noting significant initial bleeding and swelling that has since resolved. Trump received daily treatment from Jackson and may require a hearing exam due to the wound.

Despite the attack, Trump accepted the Republican Party's presidential nomination on July 20. Reflecting on the incident, Trump credited his survival to the 'grace of Almighty God,' recounting the harrowing experience at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
