Trump turned up at the RNC wearing an enormous ear-bandage – 19 favourite reactions
The Republican National Convention will end on Thursday, when Donald Trump will make his speech calling for unity. We’ll believe that when we see it (and have triple-checked that it isn’t a deep fake).
Until then, the red, white and blue glitz and ass-kissing continues apace, with speeches from former Republican candidates Vivek Ramaswamy, Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley, as well as other tub-thumping Trump loyalists.

Outside of the MAGA bubble, people are still trying to work out why Donald Trump is now wearing an ear dressing the size of Wisconsin on his barely scratched ear.

LMAO it looks like that thing whatever it is on Trump’s ear is held together by clear tape ….honestly would any doctor or nurse do a bandage like this? pic.twitter.com/kZFYu1JJsY

Not a medical requirement, then. As far as we can tell, the thing may as well have ‘Look at me. I’m so brave.’ written on it – and it’s frankly big enough to do that with a fat marker pen.
Here’s just a little of the mockery he has received for it.
