Republicans Are Wearing Ear Bandages to Copy Trump
MILWAUKEE, Wis. — It’s called fashion, look it up.
The Daily Beast on Tuesday spotted a number of attendees at the Republican National Convention wearing bandages over their ears in an apparent act of solidarity with former President Donald Trump—with many predicting that the impromptu trend would only gain steam in the coming days.
Trump made a surprise appearance while sporting his own bandage Monday at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, where the convention is being hosted, walking out to raucuous cheers. His arrival came just days after surviving an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, during which a 20-year-old gunman opened fire at Trump from a nearby rooftop.
