Trump was expressionless as he came down the ramp .... waiving to photogs who were on the tarmac.

He had a white bandage on his right ear, and it's clear he literally dodged a fatal bullet by centimeters.

TMZ obtained video of the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, as he was firing at the former president, striking 3 people. One died almost instantly ... 2 others were rushed to the hospital in critical condition.

Trump's head of communications said, “Strong and resilient. He will never stop fighting for America.”

Trump, who was treated at a Pennsylvania medical facility, is gearing up for the Republican National Convention Monday. It's unclear if the shooting will change his plans, but it seems like a safe bet he will be there front and center to accept the nomination.

The shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed by Secret Service snipers.
