ISTANBUL: Former US President Donald Trump's White House doctor said Saturday that the ex-president, who was the target of an assassination attempt, is in good condition. Ronny Jackson said in a statement that he has been with Trump since the assassination attempt, evaluating and treating his wound daily. He said the bullet passed millimeters from Trump's head and struck the upper part of his right ear that created a wound 0.8 inches (2 centimeters) wide that extends to the cartilage surface of his ear. He noted that initially there was significant bleeding and then noticeable swelling above the ear, which has since improved. He said the wound has begun to heal properly and there is intermittent bleeding that still requires dressing. Jackson said Trump's overall condition is good and his wound has healed as expected. "It is an absolute miracle he wasn't killed," he said. Trump was attacked July 13 at a rally in the Butler region in the state of Pennsylvania while addressing supporters at a rally. One person was killed and two injured in the attack. The US Secret Service announced that the assailant was 'neutralized' at the scene. The FBI classified the attack as an assassination attempt and identified the perpetrator who was killed at the scene as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks. Source: Anadolu Agency
