He obviously milked it to the maximum. That ear bandage he was walking around with, was obviously a PR thing too. It did never look like a medical professional was anywhere near that.
Look, I hate the guy, but that is how you bandage an ear.
People got shot so that parts real.
He could have been nicked or he could have caught it on a sharp point bending down or he could have cut it with a fingernail.
My money is on the fingernail. He's probably on blood thinners. He's probably got thin, brittle skin. He probably clawed at his ear when the bullet whizzed by.
He could easily have nicked it. A nick can bleed like crazy and also heal very fast.
From there it's all spin...
The simplest explanation is probably this given how fast it healed, I guess.
No. Its not.

I don't doubt, that he was grazed by a bullet or a shrapnel. I'm just saying he milked it and that bandage was not professional.
I had a cancer removed from my ear and they bandaged it a lot like this? There are two primary means if bandaging an ear and they both look ridiculous. I have no doubt he got them to "make it look like a big deal" but you are not slapping a bandaid on that and calling it a day, right?
Edit - Moh's surgery dressing is what I'm talking about.
