I'm not aware that anybody thinks he was actually shot in a way that's more severe than the evident knick of the ear, these rhetorical flights of fancy notwithstanding. I do occasionally hear from progressive friends that they think the shooting was rigged or some sort of conspiracy. I'm not quite sure how serious they are. If serious, that strikes me as ridiculous, a mirror image of right-wing nutjobbery.

There is something else to keep in mind. What does Trump need the ear for? He doesn't listen to anyone other than adoring sycophants and he can do that with the other ear.
