People attended the recent Republic National Convention (RNC) sporting ear bandages in solidarity with Donald Trump. It all happened after the former U.S. president's right ear was injured during an assassination attempt last Saturday.

Former UFC welterweight Jake Shields is now fighting political trolls on the internet rather than trained killers and is taking every opportunity to mock followers from both sides of the aisle.

This time, Trump followers have come under fire for donning ear bandages in honor of their leader, who survived the assassination attempt at Butler farm in Pennsylvania on July 13.

The act elicited a variety of reactions from social media users. One of the most prominent was that of Shields, who took to X to mock Trump supporters wearing ear bandages during the RNC:

"This can't be real."

Wearing party colors, badges or uniforms is not uncommon for fervent supporters of a politician or a party. However, displaying a medical bandage to demonstrate support for a presidential nominee in light of his attempted assassination is surely a new phenomenon.

Shields has previously spoken out in support of the United States' non-interventionist foreign policy, the abolition of affirmative action, and the reduction of the influence of other powerful states in the American lobby. But, as it turns out, the 45-year-old does not enjoy cosplay.


Jake Shields blamed Israel for Donald Trump's assassination attempt

It seems for Jake Shields, every vile act that happened in the world after Oct. 7 is the brainchild of Israel.

True to script, the Cesar Gracie Jiu-Jitsu student previously took to X to claim that Israel had a hand in Donald Trump's assassination attempt:

"Israel has been begging the United States to go to war with Iran. Trump appoints an Israeli first VP, and now they want us to believe that Iran tried to kill Trump. They already tricked us into war with Iraq, Syria, and Libya, so what is one more war for Israel?"
