Bandaging the ear in support of Trump: Republican fashion

A new fashion has emerged in the United States, and it is that among Republican followers there is a trend of bandaging their ears in support of Trump.

The fashion of bandaging one’s ear in support of Trump seems to be trending at the Republican convention, a gesture that speaks of the passions generated by the aspirant to the White House. }

Among the red caps with the letters TRUMP and MAGA T-shirts (‘Make America Great Again‘, the Trumpist slogan) there is a look that has crept in these days in the forum where the Republican National Convention is being held: bandaging one’s ear in support of Trump.

“I wear it out of patriotism and in solidarity because he was shot and has to wear a bandage,” Eric Neilson, who has participated in the event as a surrogate delegate from the state of Arizona, explains to EFE.

Now it seems that the level of support for Donald Trump has gone up a notch, after he was the victim of an attack last July 14 in the middle of a rally in Pasadena.

Bandaging the ear in support of Trump

At that political event, a 20-year-old with an assault weapon fired at the former president (2017-2021), who was only slightly wounded in the right ear.

One person in the audience died, two were wounded and the assailant was shot by law enforcement.

Two days later, the now official Republican Party candidate for president appeared at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, to great expectation, with an elaborate white bandage covering his wounded ear.

Bandaging one’s ear in support of Trump, not a massive trend but several citizens have adopted it and who walk around the Republican forum.

Delegate Michael Schafer, who sported a bandage attached to his right ear, said the trend was not the same as the ubiquitous “Make America Great Again” red hat.

While he considers it a spur-of-the-moment thing, it’s still so unique; they’ve managed to make political marketing out of a violent action.

Now the staunchest Republicans have several options to distinguish themselves in the streets: the hat, the T-shirt or the bandage on the right ear.

The four days of the convention focused on issues that Trump promotes: purchasing power, immigration, crime and security.
