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.

    I can’t stand the guy, but PTSD can manifest in several different ways. I’m willing to bet obsessing over the event is one of those ways

    Edit: it could also just be “post traumatic stress” without it being a disorder. I’m not a professional and I don’t know trump personally, but I would like to warn against telling people this isn’t what PTSD looks like because someone might not seek treatment due to misunderstanding their affliction
