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.

    Yeah I do not like the man at all whatsoever, but I wish this didn’t happen. Even for his own sake.

      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.

      The first thing he did after getting shot was blame democrats instead of stopping the nazi rhetoric

      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’s degrading the rights of everyone he isn’t and marked a return of racism and bigotry. He makes jokes about other people getting injured. He’s a bully and now since people don’t call him out until now, he’s successfully raised to the spot of president bully

      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 either, 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

          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 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.
