Others, however, came to his defense and noted that he had been struck by a bullet two days prior. Trump’s ear was grazed by a bullet shot by Thomas Matthew Crooks. Two other people were injured, and one person was fatally shot at his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“The man lost part of his ear only 48 hours ago. Imagine the trauma,” one person tweeted, while another added, “Dude got shot two days ago, doubt he’s slept.”
Other commenters even called Trump “Sleepy Don,” as a reference to what President Joe Biden‘s critics called him: “Sleepy Joe.”
