I don't understand how that's possible? The teleprompter would presumably be in front of Trump but, his ear facing back was injured. Or am I missing something?

As someone else mentioned, this isn’t confirmed, it’s just what some law enforcement have claimed. However the teleprompter system has multiple reflectors off to each side so that the speaker can look side to side while tallking and still have their prompts. So it’s possible to have the glass blow back to one side of Trump. I am sure we will find out more in the coming days and weeks…

I see, thanks for the explanation.
