I think they’re trying to milk the sympathy card for all it’s worth by wearing these bandages. Since Trump only got a cut on his ear and an innocent spectator was killed, the event isn’t playing as well as it did for Reagan back in the day during his reelection campaign. Wearing big, bulky bandages, they’re ‘peacocking’ to keep Trump’s extremely mild injury fresh in everyone’s mind.
