Tennis legend Martina Navratilova took to X on Tuesday to call former President Donald Trump’s ear bandage a “PR stunt,” landing her a slew of hateful comments. “Of course—this is obviously a PR stunt—the day after the shooting he had no dressing on his ear… not even a Band-Aid,” Navratilova wrote in a reply on a picture of Trump’s bandaged ear. The post Navratilova replied to read, “a good friend of mine is the charge nurse (Level IV FNP) at a major trauma center in a huge city. She says there’s absolutely no need to dress an ear wound like this, unless half his ear was blown off. And even then, it wouldn’t look like this.” Fans were not pleased with Navratilova in the replies to her post. One wrote, “(sigh) You know, I say it a lot these days. I am not a Trump fan. But the lows to which prominent people who’re opposed to Trump, continue to go, is deeply disappointing. This isn’t helping your case against the man. It just looks cringe, and petty.” “Thank you, Doctor Navratilova. I’ll pass it along,” another wrote.
