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.
Too bad for him that he will refuse to see a therapist or psychiatrist because he thinks it’s a sign of weakness.
I’d certainly be fucked up if it had happened to me.
It’s so so sad that he’s bound for a nervous breakdown and potentially Harris slamming her hand on the podium with the right force and angle could potentially be a trigger for it.
Not unprecedented. Even doing so intentionally isn’t new. Just look at Admiral James Stockdale in the 1992 election. Dude was a decorated Vietnam vet and former POW, but before a debate, someone thought it’d be a great idea to jingle some keys. Apparently, that was something his captors did to mess with him in Vietnam. Cue the PTSD flashback, and suddenly Stockdale’s looking disoriented on stage. So yeah, a well-placed podium slam? Could totally set off a meltdown.
He might get counseling from some evangelical pastor though, and come out of it even more terrible than he already is.
Well…would you have spent the last 8 years of your life spreading views of hate and racism?
Because I think thats what got him shot at.
There is zero fucking chance he’s having an “am I the baddie?” Moment while watching this clip. He’s probably thinking how bad ass his hair looks or something about manliness blah blah.
Trump is a one trick pony.
Or he’s finally been confronted with his own mortality and its fucking with him in ways a life empty of any kind of introspection would.
I think that’s irrelevant. Nearly getting your brains blown out will fuck with your head regardless of anybody’s judgement of whether you deserved it.
