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.
PTSD is serious and difficult to live with and I feel sorry for anyone who has it. Not really something to joke about.
I would be freaked out too if I almost got assassinated. He is a human being.
I don’t want him to be president. But that doesn’t change my basic humanity for the victim of a crime.
I have PTSD. I have zero sympathy for him. I hope he suffers even more than me.
I just don’t believe in well-wishing to actively malicious literal Nazi fucks. Guess that’s radical.
He is a human being.
I have real trouble with this. He seems to lack any kind of human qualities - no empathy, no wit or warmth.
If someone ripped his orange mask off, Scooby Doo style, and it revealed some kind of mindless racist/sexist slur and weak-insult spouting robot underneath, I think it would explain a lot.
We see his public facing persona. It says things that are more or less within the realm of normal for most of society.
I bet when he is with the wealthy follks the real Don comes out. Says things that rich and wealthy want to hear, akin to agenda 2025 but more focused on poors being confined while they still get to break laws.
I’m sure Hitler was put-off by all the people who tried to kill him, but that doesn’t invoke sympathy.
You’re allowed to feel differently about people once they’ve done something bad enough. That’s why we have, like, laws and stuff. The Idiot tried to end American democracy. I don’t give a shit if he feels bad.
You’re allowed to have complex feelings weighing positive and negative attributes of people, but all people are people. You can’t deny the basic decency of a single kind thought because you oppose someone politically. I hope he recovers from a traumatic experience, and I hope his political ambitions result in embarrassing failure. You can think both things.
Yeah, but some people are Hitler. Hitler is not a fictional character. Occasionally, you get Hitler.
Stop pretending “politically” means dry and polite. Politics can kill people. Sometimes, politics kill ten million people at once. You cannot expect me to feel bad for the people who are mad it wasn’t twenty.
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
After getting shot AT* Theres no proof he was hit or even grazed by a round.

He actually did get grazed.
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
Convince me it wasn’t their own false flag. #OperationConserve
As a person he presents as such a terrible person.
But as a human being, I feel for him and don’t think anyone - even the worst of us - deserves PTSD.
Mr Trump deserves a long life in a very thick-walled cell, and needs to think on the terrible things he’s done and how it affects others. This isn’t possible if he’s dead.
Not endorsing violence, but I don’t think he deserves a long life. He’s done plenty of harm, and him thinking about it doesn’t help anything. It only allows him to continue to be a threat. However, I think an assassination would be the worst possible outcome. It’d give power to all of those using him. Power that they don’t have as long as he’s alive. He’d become a symbol, and all the horrible things he’s done would be forgotten. He’s better alive and losing the election and all credibility and support.
Well, the violence came from his side. That’s how they roll. Expect more of it. They can’t stop. Be prepared.
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.
They don’t see it that way. This is another “black helicopter” thing where they just assume it’s part of the CommieLib-MkUltra-Deepstate and that every piece of evidence that runs contrary to that narrative is so obviously manufactured by Nancy Pelosi using a 3D printed, Jewish-space-neuralizer organized by AOC to delete her feet pictures off the internet.
It’s clearly just aconspiracy to ruin the lives of the UberMerican loud minority of manly lifted truck driving estranged fathers wearing Izod Sport jackets with iron-on bald eagles and American flags.
If he were a real Republican® Christian© American™, he wouldn’t have done a violence, but if he had, his aim would have been true, and and he would have gotten away.
