At the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, attendees are wearing fake ear bandages to show support for Donald Trump, who was grazed by a would-be assassin's bullet at a rally.

Arizona delegate Susan Ellsworth stated that the bandages are a show of solidarity and love for Trump.

The convention will conclude with Trump's address on Thursday, where he is expected to formally accept the party's nomination to face Joe Biden in a 2020 rematch.

Delegate Michael Schafer noted that the bandages differ from the iconic red 'Make America Great Again' hats, reflecting a more current moment.
