The attempted assassination of Donald Trump and his resulting ear wound was world news for a week, and the bulky bandaging he keeps on his ear has become an instant piece of Republican Party iconography. But for all of that attention, the American public knows almost nothing about the health effects of Trump's ordeal except for a brief description from his son Eric and the word of disgraced former White House physician Ronny Jackson. Critical care physician Dr. Vin Gupta talks with Alex Wagner about some of the questions that remain unanswered in Trump's information blackout.
