This article misrepresents what the letter says.
Trump does not have a bullet hole in his ear that is 2cm wide.
Trump was grazed by the bullet.
The letter talks about the wound track being 2cm wide.
A male fingertip is about 2 cm wide.
Put your fingertip on the back of your headband now try to create a bullet track that wouldn't have caused much more serious wound. You have to move your finger to the very outer ear or otherwise the bullet would have creased his temple or cheek.
A 2cm hole would have required stitches and Eric Trump said he did not need stitches.
Thanks, that's good information, maybe they meant mm.
i suspect they mean a 2cm (20mm) long gash. the bullet has a diameter of 5.56mm. 25.4mm is an inch and 5.56mm is about 1/4 inch. The bullet could punch a 1/4inch hole but were it to contact the ear as it traveled past, it could easily leave a 20mm gash. maybe its a combination of the two.
The way he talks about down to the cartilage show it did not go through the cartilage, but was more of a glancing blow that took skin off.
And I would have described the scenario you are talking about as 2cm long. But they should just show it to us.
It was a graze wound and not a through and through wound. This is good news, I thought he was missing part of his ear.
