Former President Donald Trump announced to the crowd on Friday night that he had “just removed” the final bandage he had placed on his ear since the assassination attempt nearly two weeks ago.
The “Faith Summit,” hosted by Turning Point Action in West Palm Beach, focused on reaching out to voters of faith. Prior to the former president, former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Dr. Ben Carson attended.

“And I want to thank every single believer in this room for your prayers and your incredible support. I really appreciate it,” Trump said.
“I know something was working. Something was working. So I’m so grateful to all of you. And it’s through the power of prayer and the grace of God almighty that I’m able to stand before you all tonight,” he added.

The former president continued, “As you can see, I am recovering well. In fact, I have just removed the last of the bandages from my ear.”
The crowd erupted in applause as the former president explained, pointing to his injured ear. “I just took it off. I took it off for this group. I don’t know why I did it for this group, but that’s it. I think that’s it.”
