'Botched' star Dr Terry Dubrow volunteers to reconstruct Donald Trump's ear after assassination attempt
ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA: Dr Terry Dubrow appeared on 'TMZ Live' on Wednesday, July 17th to discuss the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. During the segment, he suggested that the severity of the former president's wounds might not be as significant as initially reported. Dubrow also raised the possibility of Trump experiencing PTSD.
Dr Dubrow is offering his professional opinion on Donald Trump's injured ear, discussing the type of surgery he believes may be necessary, which could be more complex or intense than previously thought.
'Botched' star and plastic surgeon Dr. Terry Dubrow spoke with TMZ on July 16, emphasizing that the extent of surgery needed depends on the amount of tissue damaged by the high-velocity bullet during the assassination attempt.
Dubrow suggests that Donald Trump may need surgery to address "missing parts." He informed the outlet that reconstructive surgery in such cases is challenging, highlighting significant infection risks due to the ear's limited blood supply. He also vividly describes the potential surgical procedure, explaining where doctors might harvest tissue from Donald's body to possibly reconstruct his ear.
According to Dr. Dubrow, if Donald Trump undergoes surgery, he might require an extended hospital stay. He points out the possibility of infection and mentions that Trump's recovery could involve a complex and prolonged course of medication. While Dr Dubrow isn't certain if Trump truly needs surgery, he cautions that the procedure could be quite challenging if it does become necessary.
Trump's doctor believes the ear will heal on its own, but based on Dr Dubrow's comments, he doesn't sound entirely convinced. Nevertheless, Dubrow advises Trump to choose his surgeon carefully. He also mentions that since reconstructive surgery is his area of expertise, he would be available to assist if necessary.
Who shot Donald Trump?
On Sunday, July 14, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reported that Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old from Pennsylvania, had fired shots at former US President Donald Trump during an election rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Thomas was fatally shot by law enforcement after posing a serious threat to the presidential candidate's life.
During the incident, a fifty-year-old man died, and two other attendees were injured, while Donald Trump sustained an injury to his right ear. Officials reported that Thomas, using a semiautomatic rifle similar to an AR-15 legally purchased by his father, climbed onto a rooftop about 150 yards (140 meters) from the platform where Trump was speaking and began firing at targets.

His high school counselor described him as "respectable," someone who "kept to himself," and who showed no previous signs of being politically inclined.

According to the FBI, there was no threatening language found on Thomas's social media page, and they did not uncover any prior evidence of mental health issues. Authorities also noted that they were unable to determine his political views as there were no posts promoting violence or similar activities on his social media accounts
According to a statement from the nursing home's administration, Thomas had worked there previously as a dietary assistant. Public records indicate that his mother is a registered Democrat, while his father is a registered Republican.
Furthermore, a current squad captain informed the news agency AP that Thomas had attempted to join the rifle team during his school days but was rejected due to poor marksmanship. In an interview, one of his classmates mentioned that Thomas's hobbies included computer building and gaming.
