Earlier this week, at the 2024 RNC, former president Donald Trump explained what he remembers from that day.

"I will tell you exactly what happened, and you'll never hear it from me a second time because it's actually too painful to tell," Trump said. "I went onto the stage, and the crowd [was] cheering wildly. Everybody was happy."

Approximately ten minutes into his speech, Trump pulled up a chart on a screen to his right. "In order to see the chart, I started to turn like this," he demonstrated as he slightly moved his head to the right. I was ready to begin [turning] a little bit further, which I'm very lucky I didn't do, when I heard a loud whizzing sound and felt something hit me really, really hard on my right ear."
