Is he gonna wear that bandage until November?
I am actually surprised. Seems some people would chime in to see what his ear looked like or what is going on.
I only clicked here as its the first post I’ve seen with his new look.
Every other used old images. Possibly when he was younger inline with their “Biden old” rhetoric.
How long do you think he’s going to wear that gauze? I suspect it, or something similar, stays on until at least election day. Maybe he gets a gold eartip or something.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Despite Donald Trump’s dramatic appearance days after an assassination attempt, the opening night of the Republican National Convention drew in five million fewer viewers than the first night of the convention back in 2016 – when he became the party’s presidential candidate for the first time.
Fox News had the highest ratings for its RNC coverage, with 6.9 million viewers as of 10pm on Monday.
On MSNBC on Tuesday, host Lawrence O’Donnell waded in on the numbers, saying “this is a very low-rated convention.”
Trump unveiled JD Vance as his vice presidential pick in a Truth Social post on Monday, before making his first public appearance since surviving the shooting at his rally in Pennsylvania at the weekend.
On Tuesday, he returned to the RNC to watch two old rivals, Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis, take to the stage to endorse him in the election.
Now, Vance is set to take to the stage on Wednesday for his first major address since he was tapped to be Trump’s new running mate.

Wow.
Excepting journalists, why would anyone care?
There’s only one thing that matters: ratings
Donald J. Trump
It’s just a multi night political advertisement. No thanks.
In 2016 there was an actual race to be won, a question to be answered, a reason to watch.
Ever since then, the party has been all in on trump. No serious challenge has been made, and it turns out that doesn’t make for very good TV.
Yes, there was a lot of talk of a delegate revolt to prevent Trump from getting the nomination. Ted Cruz took to the convention floor to tell delegates to “vote their conscious”. Everybody wondered whether Trump, this joke of a candidate who actually won, would have the sense to pivot away from hard right rhetoric during his speech to appeal to the swing voters he would need to win over, given the seemingly insurmountable obstacle the Clinton Machine posed.
This year there is no drama, we all know who Trump is, to the point where we can all just imagine what his speech will be and it will accurate. What’s the point of watching?

Yes, everyone wants to see the Republican circlejerk.
It didn’t watch, either time.
I bet most of those are dems wondering what the crazy will be.
That’s me right now!
Good.
Did something happen to those viewers to prevent them from viewing? Maybe catch a contagious disease?
Nah trump is really only responsible for about a couple hundred thousand of those deaths. Not anywhere near 5 million.
But he is most certainly responsible for hundreds of thousands of American deaths.
FAKE cough cough wheeze NEWS. cough cough wheeze
Seems to be going around.
I know I used to watch them just to see what to prepare for. Now I don’t even want the Clif Notes.
Project 2025 is the clif notes
When you keep watching evil people doing evil things and being happy about it, it gets really tiring.
