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.

Load him up on mushrooms before the debate. That should help with the PTSD.
Give him 8 grams of penis envy, I guarantee he’ll go for it on the name alone
I always heard being in a fearful state before doing hallucinogenics caused a bad trip?
I mean, wouldn’t that be something. He takes a heroic dose, comes out the other side with a soul and a conscience, quits the race and preaches the power of the mushroom to all his followers. Can you imagine all them having an inner dialogue and waking up from the fever dream? Almost brings a tear to my eye.
Are you insinuating that the God Emperor is scared of a woman?!
Because you’d be correct.
He is absolutely terrified, will be completely screwed when that happens, and mushrooms would make it extremely entertaining for the rest of us. The VA is also conducting research into it.
I ate 5 grams of mushrooms 2 weeks after I was shot. Was not a good idea.
Well, they did try to kill the one person in the world that he cares about…
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.
He might get counseling from some evangelical pastor though, and come out of it even more terrible than he already is.
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.
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.
Watching a clip of a firefighter getting murdered over and over again.
Dude is more worried about the shrapnel cut to his ear.
I agree It would…
Reality is more like… Someone else died.
Crowd went nuts. Ear hurt.
Secret service rushes you off stage.
Secret service tells you what happened.
Never actually experienced an actual threat.
Was not presented with fight or flight.
He just… basically heard about it and walked away with a cut.

Nazi peon doesn’t become special because of his job or because he took a bullet intended for Nazi leader. Nothing of value was lost, except the opportunity to take out a larger pile of trash.
I’m trying hard to understand your point of view… It’s easy to be angry.
The problem I see is that the way you feel about the “peon” is probably the same way trump feels about him too. Trump feels everyone else as insignificant.
Unfortunately this means you and trump have very much in common.
Let that sink in…
Now… If that previous comment has not completely closed your mind…
Let’s try to be better humans together.
I am not a Trump supporter or sympathizer. In fact, I hate that I have to qualify this at all, but nuance is dead on the internet.
You are speaking with a voice of logic. Trump should not have been shot at, nor should he have been killed. He was targeted unlawfully.
No person should die at the hands of another. We can’t judge each other effectively or objectively.
I may wish for trauma, pain, or more on someone, but I don’t earnestly believe anybody deserves it nor should we be the arbiters of death. Especially if it’s because of ideological differences.
Unfortunately this means you and trump have very much in common.
…because we both recognize that one of his cultist pawns is a cultist pawn? Do I really need to articulate the distinction that the pawn holds no value to me because he advocates for the destruction of my rights, neighbors, and country; vs him not holding any value to Trump because he’s not Trump?
I’m not going to shed any tears over the loss of evil - the world became a slightly better place when that man died.
