Everyone needs to chill out about this ear thing. It's amazing what can be covered with a little bit of makeup. As much as I detest the man, I can see why he wouldn't want to walk around with a visible ear cut. Women cover zits and blemishes with makeup as a matter of course. Do you think the orange douchewipe wants the focus on his ear? All presidents (and "presidents") have makeup up people, and their job is to cover this kind of shit up and make the person look as flawless as possible.
Let's leave the conspiracy theories to the conservatards.
Some campaign adviser told him that a damaged ear presents as damaged goods, and it would be better to cover it. This is a man so concerned about his looks that he spray paints his face orange. His narcissism elevates the priority of his looks beyond any perceived sympathy (sympathy being a foreign concept to him). Even his rabid base depict him in their artwork as having a six pack abs. He is absolutely covering it up. If the blood was a prop then even his dumb handlers would be smart enough to apply a fake scab to keep the ruse going.
Knowing how Trump has played up his assassination attempt at every opportunity.... He absolutely would want to bring attention to any damage to his ear.
I don't really care one way or another about whatever drama is going on about his ear. I'm just saying, I don't think he'd choose to use makeup to cover up any scars on his ear.
It's been a long time since trump ever did his own makeup. He thinks the orange makes him look good, or maybe he even thinks it's just his brand now. A blemished ear does not look good, even in the opinion of a man who thinks oranging his face rocks.
Based ... if it weren't that the fact that accounts getting banned for simply alluding to it is very real. The whole drama may be bullshit, but accounts getting banned for this isn't. It is partisan censorship inside a major social network just using the drama as an excuse.
That, and any 5 year old with a phone could mirror a photo
Edit: was it because there was an implication he might not have been wearing makeup? Honestly I can't keep up with what the popular opinion on lemmy is anymore
