Anthony Fauci: Assassination Attempt On Trump No Big Deal Since An Ear Wound Is “Superficial”
“I mean, from what we’ve seen and what we’ve heard, it was a bullet shot that grazed his ear and injured his ear, according to the physicians who examined him. There was no other further damage.”
It’s hard to overstate my disdain for disgraced Branch Covidian Anthony “I am the Science” Fauci, but he’s managed to plumb new lows in his comment about President Trump’s near assassination.
Dr. Anthony Fauci downplays Trump’s wounds from assassination attempt: ‘Superficial’ https://t.co/kkIcnhreBP pic.twitter.com/8toXK8yEOb
— New York Post (@nypost) July 20, 2024
Dr. Anthony Fauci downplayed former President Donald Trump’s injuries during last weekend’s assassination attempt, calling the ear wound he received when he was grazed by a bullet “superficial.”
Fauci, the embattled former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who advised both Trump and President Biden during the COVID-19 pandemic, was asked by CNN’s Wolf Blitzer about Trump’s injuries.
Trump, 78, dove to the ground after gunfire from would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks erupted and nicked his ear as he spoke at a Pennsylvania campaign rally on Saturday. Trump emerged surrounded by Secret Service agents with blood gushing from his right ear and has since worn a bandage over it.
“I don’t think there is much more to it,” Fauci said on Friday night. “I mean, from what we’ve seen and what we’ve heard, it was a bullet shot that grazed his ear and injured his ear, according to the physicians who examined him. There was no other further damage.”
. . . . “It seems to have been a superficial wound to the ear, and that’s all,” he said.

In that case, I think Fauci should volunteer for a .223 caliber circumcision.
In his case, it would be superficial.
I remember when Fauci was making a big deal of the fact that he and his family had been threatened. He lamented that they could potentially have been hurt or even killed. But when it comes to an actual bullet zipping past Trumps head, coming within a fraction of an inch of killing him, Fauci downplays it.
No, he didn’t.
fwiw – I would prefer to see the entire interview before commenting.
The MSM is notorious for editing and cherrypicking interviews. I would hope that the NY Post is not doing the same. His response that was posted may have been to only a very specific question while other comments provided much better context (or maybe not – I would just prefer to see the entire interview before commenting.
One other point
This was on CNN – Who cares – nobody watched it
I will have to wear a mask for that procedure, and stand at least six feet from the person firing the surgical round.
Anthony Fauci is evil.
Says the man responsible for millions of deaths due to COVID. FJB and Dr Mengele
They should name rectal cancer after this guy.
This is too cruel for rectal cancer.
To be fair, he answered the question honestly. I hate that little covid gnome, but what’s wrong with his answer?
The wound IS superficial. It isn’t the severity of the wound we care about, but the assassination attempt itself, the closeness of its success, and the glaring problems (and likely complicity) of the governmental protection.
Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?
Arguing about the resulting wound is irrelevant without any mention of the significance is how it was acquired.
Fair enough. The question was pointless and stupid. Nobody thought the injury was severe or debilitating physically. Why would an anchor even ask it except to minimize the assassination attempt? Still…unless Fauci made it clear he wanted that question asked, he isn’t at fault for that.
No, it is not fair enough. And it is not true that nobody suggested the injury was severe or debilitating physically. That was precisely what they were discussing. CNN’s medical guy openly suggested exactly that, and demanded that Trump’s people release detailed medical information to assure the public that it isn’t. Blitzer asked Fauci what he thought about that, and he gave a very reasonable answer.
How the injury was acquired was simply irrelevant to the topic.
Oh, so now it’s important to release medical information related to a bullet wound, but not to release information related to how Fauchi’s action killed millions?
But it’s not important to release medical information about the demented puppet?
Uh huh. Got it.
I’m not gonna be upset at a commenter who perceives the question and answer as an attempt to unfairly diminish the severity of the assassination attempt. I think they very well may be correct in that perception. I do think it is fair for somebody to see it that way.
I think it more likely is an anchor trying to frame the assassination attempt as a lesser event than most of us see it and Fauci just answering what he was asked. My immediate reaction is a stupid anchor thinks “Oh, the Republicans asked for Biden’s medical info so we should ask for Trump’s too!” I would hope others don’t think my perception is somehow out of the realm of reason and if they do I would hope they still grant me the charity of considering my perception before they do.
But, honestly, I don’t know how these media types and their guests coordinate before an interview. It very well could be an anchor thinking “Oh, a doctor! I’ll ask him a doctor question related to current news.” Or it very well could be an anchor and a guest coordinating ahead of time to intentionally shape a narrative more favorable to Democrat election chances. With all the wacky stuff that’s gone on in the last few years I’m not going to blame someone for seeing a continuation of what seems to be far reaching conspiracy with the news media and politics.
I’m not smart enough to know the truth in this situation without an awful lot more information. A position I routinely find myself in.
“My immediate reaction is a stupid anchor thinks “Oh, the Republicans asked for Biden’s medical info so we should ask for Trump’s too!”
And the Democrats refused, so the Republicans should too!
How about releasing the drug cocktail zombie puppet Joe is continually hopped up on? The public taxpayers deserve to know the specifics of his medical and mental condition.
GOD, you are a evil little man
Fauci’s ego won’t allow him to shut his mouth when common sense calls for it.
Obnoxious stupidity on this level would seem to make him more competent to be the director of the secret service under Biden administration standards than the incompetent hack currently disgracing that position.
Or the Director of the Department of Health and Inhumane Services.
I suppose that if you examine the wound from the perspective of a medical professional I suppose he’s correct.
I’m pretty sure Corey Comperatore‘s injuries were a bit more than superficial.
But that misses the point entirely. An assassination attempt is a deadly serious matter and, given the news about the Secret Service since the shooting, it’s not at all clear that this wasn’t a deep state action.
Beyond that, Anthony Fauci can GFH.
Exactly! I mean, I’m no medical professional, and I know that an ear wound like that is not fatal or even a problem. I wouldn’t even go to the doctor for it, but I’m not an ex-President / current presidential nominee. Dragging out the “big guns” (that’s what Fauci is to Democrats) to say something any mom knows is not about the ear wound at all. That’s what makes this so disgraceful to me.
In Fauci’s case, a bullet wound bisecting both ears would be superficial.
No, it does not miss the point. He wasn’t asked about the attempt, or the failure to prevent it, or any of that. He’s not an expert on any of those things, so why would it occur to anyone to ask him about them? His only area of alleged expertise is medical, so this guy decided to ask him about the injury, and he correctly described it as superficial. That’s simply what it is. And thank God for that.
And here you are again. The parsing pedant.
Perhaps there are times when someone just needs to shut the fuck up and go away.
The murderous Fauxchi is one of those people. But you and your other Democrat apparatchiks just love to trot this nut bag out.
Go **** yourself. What you call “pedantry” is simply caring about the truth. The entire premise of this post is invalid, and if you don’t care about that then you’re simply a dishonest and corrupt person.
“I am the truth.”
I am capable of fucking my self. But I prefer not to.
Might I suggest that you change your screen name to “Snap-on” or “Craftsman”?
You’re such a pedantic tool that I think it would be more apropos.
Why don’t you change your name to “corrupt”, because if you don’t care about what’s true and what’s false, so long as it helps you, then that’s what you are.
Did he review President Trump’s medical records and then reach this opinion after careful consideration of all relevant circumstances? No, he just made a half assed dismissive comment about a gun shot wound he never saw for his own political purposes.
No, he didn’t review the records and he said so. He was asked whether we should suspect the Trump campaign is covering something up and he correctly said that while that was possible there was no reason to suspect it.
No, he did not correctly state anything. You simply point out that he made another grossly irresponsible politically motivated comment unsupported by any facts.
“He was asked whether we should suspect the Trump campaign is covering something up”
Please indicate where he was expressly asked that. It’s not in the clip or any stories about the interview. Please provide “truth” as you claim to be it.
Watched the whole interview now. Fauci was not asked nor did he say anything about a “cover up.” Funny you criticize the headline here yet FABRICATE on your own. The truth, as you claim to worship, be damned.
That’s what the question was about. If you can’t see that you’re either thick or pretending to be.
You made a statement of FACT, Mr. “Truth.” Where was it insinuated he was asked about a COVER UP? Then you call out others for fabrication. Pitiful!
Fauxchi and the knob gobbler proven wrong again. From Dr Sanjay Gupta:
“The concern is that gunshot blasts near the head can cause injuries that aren’t immediately noticeable, such as bleeding in or on the brain, damage to the inner ear or even psychological trauma. A rifle like the AR-15 can produce up to 1,300 foot-pounds of force. With that much power close to the head, there can be injuries beyond what’s visible. For example, a fracture to the thin bone in that region of the skull, an epidural hematoma (or bleeding between the skull and the brain) and damage to the bones of the inner ear, which can result in hearing loss, vertigo or dizziness.”
I don’t know if I would consider him a “medical professional.”
That would be similar to calling Dr. Mengele or Dr. Gosnell medical professionals.
More along the lines of evil ghouls.
Um, what’s your problem with what he said? The wound is superficial. That’s just a plain objective fact. It could easily have been serious; it could easily have been fatal. By all rights it should have been, and it’s only by the grace of God that it wasn’t. But the fact is that — by that grace — it wasn’t, so what else should Fauci have said?
Nothing!
Absolute nothing.
What on earth? He was asked a question, why the hell shouldn’t he have answered it?
The point, I think, is that he shouldn’t have even been asked the question nor should he have even been on the program. Fauci hasn’t practiced actual medicine (he’s a fucking bureaucrat, for chrissakes) in decades, if ever, and is no more qualified to speak out on Trump’s injuries, or what the Trump team may or may not be hiding, than I am.
If CNN was interested in getting a serious answer to the question, they would have had a real trauma or ER doctor on, or perhaps a plastic surgeon.
As usual, you are incapable of extrapolating past your own pedantry, and your obvious anger at being called out for it is ridiculous.
Feel free to offer up the usual insults in retort.
None of that is his problem, his business, or his fault. He was asked a question and gave a perfectly correct answer. End of story. His answer was certainly not politically motivated, as oldschooltwentysix tried to suggest; not unless he’s suddenly had a complete change of heart and become a Trump supporter! Because it’s precisely the answer a Trump supporter would want him to give. Dismissing the suggestion that there’s some serious injury that the Trump team is covering up.
Science once again proves he’s an idiot. Does the fact it was an assassination attempt get past suck an intellect.
No, it doesn’t. How is that in any way relevant? Wounds from assassination attempts are no more serious than the same exact wounds from anything else.
When will you stop?
A still born baby is superficial in many ways, but it’s insulting to a mother who lost a child to call it superficial.
Milhouse: “Get over it mom.”
You’re a piece of garbage. A still born baby is not a wound of any kind, superficial or not. So it’s certainly not a superficial wound, and nobody would ever ask someone whether it was. Trump’s wound is superficial. That’s a fact, and if you deny it you’re a liar.
Milhouse: “I have sand in my cooter, and it makes me angry!”
I see nothing wrong with Fauci’s response here. Blitzer is trying to stir up concern that there’s some other injury that the Trump campaign is hiding, and Fauci says no, it’s possible but there’s no reason to suppose such a thing.
While I find it hard to find the words for the depths of my professional disdain for Fauci, I agree.
Looking on the bright side it is finally one medical opinion that we an be nominally certain Fauci actually got right!
It’s really bad that you believe you need to translate Bluster’s question for us rubes.
Well evidently you needed it. “Rube” doesn’t even begin to describe you.
Democrat is how I describe you.
How about –
BLITZER: What more does the public need to know about the extent of Donald Trump’s injuries and his treatment?
FAUCI: Nothing. I haven’t examined him.
Fauci took two paragraphs to say that?
Milhouse, the problem is the subtext. Fauci is brushing off the assassination attempt with his language. He’s a snake, but he’s an extremely intelligent and devious snake. He speaks like this all the time. What he says is completely proper, but there’s always a subtext. Anyone who has heard him testify before Congress knows this. He answers questions without answering them, he says things without saying them.
No, he is not brushing it off at all. And how do you imagine “I haven’t examined him” would support a conclusion that there is nothing more the public needs to know?! If you haven’t examined him how do you know there’s nothing more we need to know? Maybe there’s serious injury, maybe he’s now unfit to be president, maybe he’s dying, maybe he’s all sorts of things, so let’s pretend his medical state is now comparable to Biden’s. That was Blitzer’s agenda, and Fauci shut it down. He said “I haven’t examined him, so I don’t know that there’s nothing serious going on, but from what I do know there’s no reason to suspect such a thing”.
He’s a GD doctor Milhouse. That’s proper answer when any doctor is asked about someone they haven’t examined.
“…there’s nothing serious going on…”
This is the subtext I mentioned. He’s talking about the wound, but he’s commenting about the assassination attempt. Have you not listened to Fauci respond to questions before? He always speaks like this.
“what else should we know” does not insinuate “what else are you hiding,” Mr. “Truth.” An odd interpretation that will be argued until the cows come home. Fauci would be proud!
Physicians like to talk about the mind body connection. Obviously there was some psychological trauma there that Fauci didn’t get into, since he’s probably never been shot at, just threatened. The media are trying to very much minimize the whole thing by just reporting on the actual physical wound to Trump’s ear. So they bring Dr bigfatego to make some bullshit comments, which he most willingly obliges. The media hopes that in their viewers’ minds that this assassination attempt is just seen as something “superficial”. Blitzer isnt trying to dig deep to find out if Trump has a catastrophic ear wound, just trying to get his “expert” to corroborate that the whole thing is no big deal and it’s okay to go back to hating Trump/Hitler.
The thought of this dishonest career apparatchik, Fraudci, reaping an utterly obscene, ~$500,000-plus annual pension in retirement, is galling and nauseating.
As a 911 medic, I worked in a city with a very active knife And gun club. I would not have made an ear strike my first priority but it would lead me to begin asking questions and looking for anything else.
This episode would prove no other penetrating trauma, so a quick trip to an ER with a bandage would have ended my treatment. However, this wasn’t a street corner gun attack, this was a deranged kid circumventing all security measures put in place by an elite group, known for their ability to keep their protectee safe, in this case, a presidential candidate.
The medical side of this is easy peasy, the circumstances of the event is so shocking and so out of the norm, it gets me and many others asking what did our bureaucracy cook up this time, trying for another “most secure election ever” meaning, of course only they can win, just like 2020.
None of that is relevant to this post. This post is entirely about Fauci’s comment and nothing else, and none of what you wrote is relevant to that. He was asked whether we should demand that the Trump campaign release full medical details of his injury and what tests he’s had to detect other damage, and he said we that while it’s possible that there was other damage there is no reason to suppose so, and so there’s no reason why the campaign needs to release anything more, and there’s no foundation for suggesting they’re covering anything up.
Slight disagreement with the 911 medic comment.
Even though the wound was superficial – A trip to the ER was extremely wise. The various folds of the ear are very instrumental in hearing and likely does not some form of reconstructive surgery to reconstruct.
Secondly – with many accidents (in this case shooting) there are very obvious minor injuries and not very obvious serious injuries. ( being a competitive cyclists, I have been involved in several crashes and often dont know about the serious injury until the next day)
A goof example is the Reagan shooting in 1981 (1982?) where he walked into the ER which is when they realized Reagan had actually be shot instead of just shot at.
oops should read “does need some form of reconstruction ” ( not “does not” – typo sorry)
This headline is simply a lie. Fauci did not say any such thing. He wasn’t asked how big a deal it was, and he didn’t express an opinion on it.
Your following statement is less honest because it’s stated as fact: “He was asked whether we should suspect the Trump campaign is covering something up”
Yes, he was. That’s what the question was all about. The question was “What more does the public need to know?” And the context was CNN’s “expert” suggesting that there’s a whole lot the public needs to know and should be demanding to know.
No. He wasn’t, Mr. “Truth.” Not even close. You are perpetuating misinformation. Anyone who watches the complete interview would see you are fabricating. Sorry, but that is truth, Mr. “Truth.”
In a just world, Fauci the psychopath would already be in prison awaiting execution for his crimes against humanity.
Oh my god, it looks like the idiot in chief of this forum has stuck his finger in an electrical socket. He’s so excited.
Why don’t you go stick your head in a socket. It’ll fit.
As an infectious disease expert, Fauci should have opined that for the foreseeable future it would be risky for Trump to engage in aural sex.
Nothing that Fauci is quoted as saying supports the claim that Fauci said that the attempt upon Trump’s life was no big deal. Is anyone here honest enough to admit that Millhouse is right?
Sorry; I intended to turn off the “bold” after the word “life”.
We are honest enough to say that Fauxchi should go away. We are done hearing anything this murderer has to say. We hold him in total disdain. He has no credibility with people in this forum.
And he certainly doesn’t need to be defended.
Regarding Bluster, why couldn’t he talk to an emergency room physician or a plastic surgeon. It’s not like they don’t have someone in their guest speaker catalog.
No. He has to trot out the infectious disease doctor. Perhaps he would complain that Trump can’t wear a mask correctly anymore because his ear will eventually be lopsided.
Is that honest enough for you?
No, you’re never honest. You’re incapable of it. As Safire said about Hillary Clinton, you’re a congenital liar.
If you’ve got a problem with Blitzer, why don’t you go after him? What’s it got to do with Fauci? How is Fauci responsible for what Blitzer does? Fauci was asked a question and answered it correctly and unobjectionably. The fact that you think your distaste for the man justifies lying about him speaks volumes about you.
Because, moron, Fauxchi could have simply stated that the question is not something he should opine on. Simple as that.
But like you, he LIVES and LOVES to hear himself.
Never, Milhouse? You’re a very smart dude, but you say stupid shit when someone gets your goat. I’ve defended you often, but you’re being a butthead here. You’re not making a distinction between what Fauci says and what he means. You’re not even admitting there is a difference between the two. Fauci speaks with a forked tongue. Always has, always will.
He also wrote: “He was asked whether we should suspect the Trump campaign is covering something up” There is nothing presented that Fauci was asked that question. That said, even a broken clock…well, you know the thing.
Of course Millhouse aka moonmot his right. Fauci didn’t say anything about an attempt on Trump’s life, he talked about the incident with Trump’s ear
Get lost. Where do you get off, flinging accusations around? Who the hell are you? Have you ever even been here before?!
Any comment?
Good grief, Milhouse, you beclown yourself. You’re obviously very intelligent but maybe not too smart (there’s a difference). Are you on the autism spectrum? It would explain much of the reason you post what you do, but don’t expect people to put up with it.
Some times the best thing to say is nothing. Get yourself under control. A little discipline is due.
.
This clown openly accuses me of sockpuppeting support for myself and you think I should put up with that?! Who is he? I’ve never seen his name here before. So how would he even begin to have a clue about who is using what other names? Obviously he is himself someone’s sock puppet.
Somebody is BIG TIME triggered.
Got up on the wrong side of the bed – as usual.
After being shot at and nearly killed, a bigger man would have said, “I’m glad Trump is okay,” instead of trying to downplay it.
But what do you expect? This is the guy who removed Beagle puppies’ vocal cords to they couldn’t whine in pain.
. . . because their faces were being eaten off by bugs. For “science.” Even Democrat leftist Ted freaking Lieu was outraged.
They are trying so hard to downplay the assassination attempt. I’ve had defense attorneys argue the same dishonest point. “It’s not really Endangering Welfare of Children because the kid wasn’t seriously hurt.” “How is it attempted homicide? The bullet only hit his ear!”
It’s dishonest and disgusting and an attempt to sway stupid jurors who say “He’s right! It’s only an ear!” And there are always stupid jurors.
The problem isn’t that he was hit in the ear. The problem is that someone aimed for his head. And a fraction of an inch to the side and Trump was dead. That’s what was intended. But they have to try to downplay it because they hate Trump. So they go with the dishonest claim that it’s just a superficial wound, what does it matter? And apparently, it worked, looking at the comments.
If Trump had not turned his Head he would be Dead.
If Trump had not turned his head, this country would be burning. Especially if the Secret Service and DHS and everyone was giving the same shoulder shrug they are now. No one would believe the government didn’t kill him, especially with everything that keeps coming out.
“They are trying so hard to downplay the assassination attempt.”
This.
As a mouthpiece for the establishment, Fauci has received the memo: downplay the assassination attempt. He answered the question in a manner to downplay the injury (rather than being strictly clinical), thus downplaying the incident that produced the injury.
He could have said, “It’s a minor injury as far as injuries go, but we’re all thankful it wasn’t worse.” The motive behind the injury, and the potential the incident had, goes entirely under his radar, quite intentionally. Fauci isn’t stupid. He knew exactly what he was doing.
I disagree with both Fauci and most posters here. Trump’s physical wound appears superficial and that was emphasized, on purpose by Fauci IMO. However, the psychological wound could be serious. Trump was nearly killed and someone was, and two seriously injured. Trump was clearly affected, but have yet no idea how much. He looks “older” to me.
“Trump’s physical wound appears superficial and that was emphasized on purpose by Fauci IMO…”
This is the subtext I mentioned above. jb4 noticed it. He’s talking about the wound, but he’s commenting on the assassination attempt.
No, he is not. He said literally nothing at all about the attempt. He wasn’t there to talk about it and he wasn’t asked about it, and he has no expertise in any subject that would make anyone even think to ask him about it. Blitzer asked him purely as someone who allegedly knows something about medical matters, to comment on the nature of the injuries only.
“He wasn’t there to talk about it (the attempt) and he wasn’t asked about it.”
Above you said he was asked “whether we should suspect the Trump campaign is covering something up.”
Contradicting yourself, Mr. “Truth.”
Are you Sheldon Cooper-level smart? Extremely bright, but have a hard time understanding people and their subtleties? I’m asking seriously, as you seem totally incapable of listening to a snake like Fauci and hearing the hiss that’s delivered with the words.
He’s high on Ivan’s list
The future Secretary of Retribution is part of general Flynn’s team
Fauci is guilty of crimes against humanity
http://www.nurembergtwo.com
Mr. “Truth” did not deserve LaChance’s apology, gracious as it was!
Fauxchi: “When you make it difficult for people in their lives, they lose their ideological bullshit and they get vaccinated.”
A doctor who will not hesitate to force people to lose their rights, described by him as ideological bullshit. Forced to take untested chemicals with no known long term side effects, forced lockdowns in people’s homes with no ability to leave in many places without proof of “vaccination,” forced to lose jobs, forced to not see infirm relatives, forced, forced, forced, forced, forced.
Fauxchi should never be given a forum to spout any of his medical bullshit. He has made millions from the taxpayer and the pharmaceutical companies, and disappeared when the Potemkin Village began to fall.
He and the pharmaceutical executives need to be prosecuted and jailed.
Yet, here we are, with many people arguing about how correct he is to opine on a matter that he shouldn’t be commenting on.
He should be shunned from the public eye and jailed.
Like some on this forum, Fauxchi has a failure to read the room. He opines that the ear wound is superficial, yet fails to understand the circumstances that led to the wound in the first place.
A man is dead, an assassin is neutralized, and two others are dead. A wife and children lost their husband and father. Another woman and children almost lost their husband and father, and the country almost lost a former and potential future president.
The country has been nearly pushed to the brink of collapse by an administration and a bureaucracy that has labeled a man an “existential danger” to the nation.
Yet Blitzer and Fauchi are playing “gotcha” with the results of the missed k!llshot.
Fauci – I killed millions around the world and was paid millions by two presidential administrations. Assassination assistance by the US Secret Service is not a big deal…
“After being shot at and nearly killed, a bigger man would have said, “I’m glad Trump is okay,” instead of trying to downplay it.”
Being a “bigger man”, is hate speech when talking about, or to
, the evil troll
Why is this even an argument? What Fauci said was correct, Trump had a bullet graze to the ear which is a superficial injury.
Where this all came from is the clickbait headline from the New York Post.
Here’s the transcript.
“BLITZER: What more does the public need to know about the extent of Donald Trump’s injuries and his treatment?
FAUCI: You know, I don’t think there is much more to it. I mean, from what we’ve seen and what we’ve heard, it was, it was a bullet shot that grazed his ear and injured his ear, according to the physicians who examined him. There was no other further damage.
So I think that with regard to the health related purely to the bullet itself, I think he’s he’s in the clear as far as I can see. I mean, it’s dangerous to make diagnoses from a distance from what I’m seeing, the way he’s acting now and what his physicians report saw. It seems to have been a superficial wound to the ear, and that’s all.
BLITZER: I just want to just read one line, from, chief medical correspondent. Doctor Sanjay Gupta who said this, and I’ll read it to you. This is, this is, Doctor Sanjay Gupta saying gunshot blast near the head can cause injuries that aren’t immediately noticeable, such as bleeding in or on the brain, damage to the inner ear, or even psychological trauma, as you know. He’s a neurosurgeon. What do you make of that?
FAUCI: Well, I mean, I know Sanjay’s a good friend. He’s got a good clinical judgment. He’s a practicing neurosurgeon. So, again, it’s very difficult from a distance when you’re not examining someone yourself to make any projection about it.
I’m just commenting on what I’m seeing superficially, I would imagine, Wolf, that his physicians did some studying. They very likely did an imaging study being a CT or an MRI or what have you. I don’t know that as a fact, but I would think that that would be a reasonable thing to do following an encounter the way he had with a bullet.”
That’s it, done.
The reason they had Fauci on is because that moron Sunray Gupta (or whatever his name is) implied earlier that Trump could have a brain bleed or psychological trauma or his injury could be much worse. Fauci basically said “nope, just a graze”. In fact he went even further and said he is sure that they would have done imaging to rule out any further injury. (Which any competent Physician would.)
The Pedantic One had another 20 post meltdown, because he can’t understand simple context. He’s so smart. 🙄
