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.
If you’re talking about the assassination attempt, I don’t think we know which side the shooter was on. We only have remarks from classmates saying he was conservative and that his house (owned by his parents) had Trump signs. We also have a donation to progressives and a Google search for both Trump and Biden events. That’s everything I’ve heard I think. It doesn’t paint a particularly clear message. It seemed more like someone trying to leave a mark in history with his suicide (who will only be remembered as the kid who missed, and also didn’t get into the shooting club because he was a dangerously bad shot), not a politically motivated assassin.
The attack on the capital, yeah for sure, and yeah we’ll certainly see more of that.
the shooter was a right winger. we know this. it was not ideologically motivated, dude just wanted to do something ‘important’, and his right wing beliefs led him to believe shooting someone, which he was insecure about, was what he should do.
You can say we know it all you want. We really don’t. We can make assumptions, and we can hope for things that make us feel more secure in our beliefs, but it doesn’t actually create proof. What proof is there that I didn’t list that you must have? Saying “we know this” doesn’t make me any more confident. You must know more, right?
-
his social media accounts.
-
journalists have talked to people who knew him. he was like a center right dude, in the way stupid teens sometimes are.
-
the whole reason he decided to do this is because he got laughed off the school’s rifle team for being bad, and was so upset about it he decided to try to kill an ‘important’ person to prove it to them.
-
I think he said why? IDR the medium. I don’t super care. look it up.

why are you saying we don’t know? are you just now stumbling into the fundamental limits of knowledge and epistemological uncertainty and having an existential crisis and getting an urge to build a time machine so you can go back to when kurt godel was alive so you can MURDER HIM and never have to think about this again? are you okay? do you need a hug and an ice cream koan? can I help? not with the time machine; kurt godel is one of like three mathmeticians whose work I actually like,but, you know, with your feels?
