    If that’s an actual photo from today then I doubt he was grazed much because I skinned my knee biking the day before his rally. I’ve still got a giant scab there.

    Also Pete Souza isn’t just anyone. He’s a former director of the White House photo office.

      It probably means he’s on blood thinners. You’ll bleed like you cut an artery even with a tiny nick.

      So he probably had a tiny cut that just bleed a lot because of blood thinners.

          So it was a really small one then, ok.

          So he’s probably off them to let it heal fast and back on. If it’s just a nick, a day off doesn’t sound too drastic.

            When your a 90 year old turd with a steady diet of trash, not taking blood thinners for a day might be your last day.

            Most blood thinners work for 7 days after you stop taking them because that’s how long thrombocytes live in your bloodstream.

            When your veins and arteries are lined with years’ worth of fast food grease, it could be pretty drastic actually

        My thoughts exactly. I was on them for a time and I’d bleed FOREVER if I cut myself shaving. That’s when I learned about styptic pencils and alum blocks.

        the ear is also mostly cartilage, so i wouldnt be surprised if there was a lot of blood flowing through them constantly, especially at the very top of the ear where he was grazed. Very well could still be on blood thinners, but i think i would just expect the ear to bleed pretty aggressively in some cases.

      Similarly, I cut the crap out of my hand on a waterslide 2 weeks ago - grabbed the fiberglass side while trying to right myself so my kid wouldn’t get dunked - and it’s still healing. Close to being back to normal, but you can still clearly see where It was for sure
