RNC attendees sport ear bandages in solidarity with Trump
MILWAUKEE — Some delegates attending this week’s Republican National Convention have started up a new fashion trend: an ear bandage, mimicking the one former President Trump is wearing after he was hit by a bullet over the weekend.
When Trump entered the convention on Monday for his first public appearance since he was bloodied in an assassination attempt at a Saturday rally, he wore a white bandage over his right ear, which he said was hit with a bullet.
On Tuesday, some attendees sought to pay tribute to the look.
Joe Neglia, a delegate from Arizona, told CBS News it represented “the newest fashion trend.”

“Everybody in the world is going to be wearing these pretty soon,” he said, explaining that he’d folded up a piece of paper on the bus ride over to the arena.
Stacey Goodman, another Arizona delegate who was wearing a piece of paper over her ear, said the accessory was “done in solidarity with my president, Trump, not the current thing that’s in the administration.”
