Those close to Donald Trump fear the former president “may have legit PTSD” from the assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally last month.
That’s according to a Vanity Fair report published Wednesday that claimed those in Trump’s inner circle have noticed that he’s become fixated on a seven-second clip that shows the moment he nearly lost his life.
“He’s been watching that seven-second clip of how close he was to getting shot right in the head—over and over and over again,” said a Republican close to the campaign, reported Vanity Fair.
In his shoes, I’d be traumatized by the huge percentage of people that are disappointed by the poor aim. I’m one of those people. Only good Nazi is a dead one.
Just 4 more inches to the right and I could have told my uncle it’s fake and trump’s coming back with JFK at the plaza.
Yeah I do not like the man at all whatsoever, but I wish this didn’t happen. Even for his own sake.
The first thing he did after getting shot was blame democrats and he’s acting as maliciously as normal.
That’s despite them laughing and joking that palosis husband got attacked. They supported Trump and still get blamed. He has no honour whatsoever. He’s still a massive lier who has promised suffering to many who elect him and to impede justice
The only reason I wish it didn’t happen is because it puts other politicians at risk and further empowers right wing crazies
Honestly, he deserved it. He deserves jail (he raped multiple women). He defamed the women he raped. He cheated his way through life and brags about screwing over the trades he hires ruining their lives.
He uses people, and abuses them and is following a mafia playbook.
The only surprise is that it took so long honestly… Everyone expected it eventually (especially after he promised to be a dictator and free criminals).
It’s not a surprise it was a registered republican who did the shooting, because many of them have probably felt screwed over by him too and there are some decent people on that side too who are likely sick of the extremism
After getting shot AT* Theres no proof he was hit or even grazed by a round.
I would have called you crazy originally… But, the facts are that he isn’t releasing medical records and has only released info from someone who isn’t even a registered doctor anymore.
He stood up on stage and told everyone he was a quick healer, and his ear looked 100% ok.
But I agree. If it touched him at all (which is now questionable), it definitely wasn’t a “2cm wide wound”. And, it’s a nothing wound. Even in primary school he’d be given a bandaid and told to go back to class
I respect your opinion but cannot agree, and I don’t care if others see that as wrong. He is a vile human who deserves nothing.
He deserves less than nothing.
I wish it didn’t happen, but I would have much rather it have been an assassination instead of an attempt.
My current hope is that he lives long enough to see Harris win in a landslide. Then he can die.
It’s the closest thing to justice we are likely to ever get.
I wish him everything he deserves.
I wonder why it’s a 7 second clip and not the whole thing?
Looks, Donnie, PTSD sucks. Unlike your cult, those of us working against you do want you to seek treatment. Like legitimately. We want you to get better.
But also like fuck off while you’re doing that.
Thaaanks.
Signed,
Everyone Else
God… Imagine having to be his therapist… Anyone who’s able to make even a little progress with him would deserve a Nobel prize
Lol, therapy (and just the act of starting therapy) requires the ability to self-reflect and be self-critical.
He’s not capable of either.
Sisyphus would look on and thank his good fortune.
Pretty sure the rock would roll uphill on its own if Drumph came calling.
It isn’t PTSD. It is him being upset that it didn’t get him more sympathy.
That sucks, maybe he should take some time off and get his shit together? I think we’d all understand if he dropped out and thought about retirement.
At least he is not shitposting while bingewatching. If it keeps him busy, off the road and off the net, fine with me.
Is he still crying about the ear thing? What a snowflake.
That’s not PTSD. He’s a narcissist and that was the last moment where he was the center of national attention and it looked like there was no way he could lose. Then Biden stepped down.
Right on target. Self-obsessed…
Legit kinda hilarious how an actual assassination attempt completely got drown out by “new competition lol”
It’s cause the shooter was conservative so they realized focusing on it would only end up making them look bad.
I’m genuinely thrilled with just how little attention that got.
Just shows that empathy is reciprocative. He never showed empathy towards another human being, so now nobody feels it for him.
I remember people in various places talking/writing about how they were in public places when it was being televised on cable news, and almost no one was really paying that close of attention.
I won’t say that couldn’t have happened, but that shit was everywhere around me for like… 2 days
I don’t have a whole lot of redhats in my every day activities, thankfully. But at one point, I thought they’d all be slapping bumper stickers and other stupid regalia all over their possessions and their bodies and I’d see it nearly everywhere.
I did see one parent that had their very young child wearing some shirt based on his photo-op after the shooting, I will say. That’s some grade-A parenting right there, egad.
exactly this
I think I’d be traumatized by being an inch from a bullet to my brain. I also think Trump is mainlining toxic traits into his persona like “men don’t cry” and “mental health is for pussies” so I wouldn’t ever expect him to actually publicly admit to having feelings about it or getting support.
Come to think of it, him not bringing up the shooting in every sentence out of his mouth for martyrdom points, seems really out of character. All we got subjected to was a comically large, stark white bandage at the GOP convention. The lack of milking it for sympathy ad nauseum makes me think he really is affected by it.
Yup, nailed it
Idk, he has a history of obsession with being killed. Supposedly his fast food habits were formed because he could be anonymous, he’d send someone to get the food so he doesn’t have to worry about being poisoned.
When you screw over as many people as Trump has in his career, that’s a legitimate worry.
Awww does he cry himself to sleep at night? Get cold sweats?
Trump: “Rage adrenaline doesn’t do it for me anymore. Now only fear of death adrenaline is enough to focus me.”
Good. Some might pay good money to see him in a fetal position sobbing with his thumb in his lying mouth
If he has PTSD, isn’t he unqualified to be a president?
It’s pretty far down the list of reasons he already has
No, you can have PTSD and be president.
To take line from Republicans: Don’t validate his mental health problem. He’s just fucking crazy.
Not PTSD, a malignant narcissist obsessed with himself.
