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.
Well, they did try to kill the one person in the world that he cares about…
His new “personal Vietnam”
to be fair to him he kinda dodged this one too.
Good. Fuck Trump.
To be fair, who wouldn’t?
I think what makes it worse for Trump is that it was a registered Republican that was the shooter, aka, his own “side”.
I wish him everything he deserves.
Yeah I still can’t get over how a couple of days later his right ear didn’t have a mark on it. At his age, even with the best of plastic surgery, he wouldn’t have clean skin on an ear for at least a week if he’d actually had a bullet pass through any part of it. I don’t believe things he has to say about his health- he has a pretty solid track record when it comes to not telling the truth about his height, weight, bone spurs, being a stable genius, etc
Are you suggesting that Trump is a supe with superhuman healing abilities?
Okay, but what’s the alternative? Trump faked the whole thing in some sort of false flag? He planted a fake gunman to get killed by the secret service, and put two of his close supporters in the hospital in critical condition, for a bump in the polls, when he was already confident that he could beat Biden? Is that really a more plausible explanation than “someone decided to kill Trump over the Epstein files, missed, and was killed”? I absolutely hate the guy, buy I just don’t buy it. I can accept “he got hit by a shard of glass instead of a bullet” or “he got grazed elsewhere and it just looks like he was hit in the ear” but claiming the whole thing was faked is just a bridge too far.
We’re supposed to be above this type of shaky conspiracy theory level thinking.
FWIW, I didn’t read anything in BM’s post that made me think he was arguing the incident was fake. I interpreted that (s)he was saying it probably was other debris or shrapnel, and he’s insisting it was an actual slug to look like a tough guy.
I personally did read it that way, but I will concede that perhaps I was being uncharitable.
Regardless, I have seen people explicitly questioning whether it was faked elsewhere, and it makes me cringe every time. Talking about this serves literally zero purpose–it makes the left look crazy, any alternative explanations that make Trump look bad fall apart under the barest scrutiny, and it just serves to keep the assassination attempt in peoples’ minds. There are literally hundreds of other things to complain about Trump over, talking about this doesn’t help.
Agreed 105%, plus it’s also just plain stupid. Nobody within half a mile of Trump’s inner circle has any real competence, so the idea that any/all of them could successfully pull off a faked assassination is probably more absurd than flat earthers telling us the moon landing was rigged.
Look, Donnie, PTSD sucks. Unlike your cult, those of us working against you do want you to seek treatment. Like legitimately. We want you to get better.
But also like fuck off while you’re doing that.
Thaaanks.
Signed,
Everyone Else
Fuck his PTSD, how about what he inflicted on America.
Has anybody considered an angel helped guide the shooter to nick trump’s ear thus giving a new level of paranoia.
I’m honestly not sure if this is a better outcome than him being dead. I think the new even more paranoid batshit Trump is doing way more damage than his literal death would have
Well there’s still time to find out if thats something you want to act on.
That’s not PTSD. He’s a narcissist and that was the last moment where he was the center of national attention and it looked like there was no way he could lose. Then Biden stepped down.
Idk, he has a history of obsession with being killed. Supposedly his fast food habits were formed because he could be anonymous, he’d send someone to get the food so he doesn’t have to worry about being poisoned.
Right on target. Self-obsessed…
Legit kinda hilarious how an actual assassination attempt completely got drown out by “new competition lol”
he could just not run and avoid the risk
No. GOP should have him for every office for as long as he can rally.
Add it to the list of dangerous qualities for the President of the United States to have. Cool stuff.
If this was anyone but Trump, I’d probably feel bad for him.
However, since it’s Donnie, all I can say is that I like Presidential candidates who don’t get shot.
I imagine most people would have some form of PTSD even being at the same event, never mind being the target.
Donnie should seriously seek mental help if he’s not getting it already - unlike many Americans, he can afford it.
Republicans politicians don’t do therapy. They see it as a sign of weakness.
Convince me it wasn’t their own false flag. #OperationConserve
I have seen more evidence that it was a false flag than evidence supporting that he was shot in the ear.
Watching a clip of a firefighter getting murdered over and over again.
Dude is more worried about the shrapnel cut to his ear.

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.
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.
I mean, do you think an attempt on your life might fuck you up?
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.
I mean, he was present, fully. He recognized the moment and his positional within it to create one of the most iconic presidential images of all time.
So I dont know if I really agree with your framing.
Mature adults go to therapy. This is bonkers.
I mean he was bonkers before hand.
