RNC attendees sport ear bandages in support of Trump after assassination attempt: ‘The newest fashion trend’

Republican National Convention attendees have found a somewhat creative way to show their support for Donald Trump following the assassination attempt over the weekend.

On Tuesday, severalconvention delegates were seen sporting ear bandages in a nod to the former president’s current look after he was struck in the right ear by a bullet in the attack.

One Republican delegate even went as far as to describe the ear bandage as “the newest fashion trend.”

“Everybody in the world is going to be wearing these pretty soon,” Joe Neglia, a delegate from Arizona, told CBS News while donning a white piece of paper over his right ear.

Neglia told Fox News he was inspired when Trump entered the auditorium on Monday night to rapturous applause, the white bandage visible over his injury.

“Yesterday when he came in, and there was that eruption of love in the room, I thought, ‘what can I do to honor the truth? What can I possibly do?’” he said on Tuesday.

“And then I saw the bandage and I thought, I can do that. So, I put it on simply to honor Trump and to express sympathy with him and unity with him.”

Fellow Arizona delegate Stacey Goodman, who was also sporting a folded up piece of paper over her ear, said she had jumped on the trend “in solidarity with my president, Trump, not the current thing that’s in the administration.”

On Monday night, Trump made his first public appearance since the attempt on his life at the RNC, hours after the former president officially received enough delegates to top the party’s presidential ticket and after he announced JD Vance as his vice presidential pick.

Entering the Fiserv Forum with the white bandage around his ear, the crowd went wild chanting “USA!” and “fight, fight fight!” – echoing Trump’s
