Trump Keeps Watching Shooting Clip: ‘May Legit Have PTSD’
thedailybeast.com

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.

Legit kinda hilarious how an actual assassination attempt completely got drown out by "new competition lol"

I'm genuinely thrilled with just how little attention that got.

Just shows that empathy is reciprocative. He never showed empathy towards another human being, so now nobody feels it for him.

I remember people in various places talking/writing about how they were in public places when it was being televised on cable news, and almost no one was really paying that close of attention.

I won't say that couldn't have happened, but that shit was everywhere around me for like... 2 days

I don't have a whole lot of redhats in my every day activities, thankfully. But at one point, I thought they'd all be slapping bumper stickers and other stupid regalia all over their possessions and their bodies and I'd see it nearly everywhere.

I did see one parent that had their very young child wearing some shirt based on his photo-op after the shooting, I will say. That's some grade-A parenting right there, egad.

It’s cause the shooter was conservative so they realized focusing on it would only end up making them look bad.
