Trump Keeps Watching Shooting Clip: ‘May Legit Have PTSD’
www.thedailybeast.com
Sources close to the ex-president’s campaign have said he’s particularly fixated on a single seven-second clip.

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.

    We all know what else in this vid. The cinematographic rise of Trump from under security agents with a fist. He is nutting over how great he is at that moment.

        Yes, hopefully in the section on how he, possibly the worst president in U.S. history, tried to destroy American democracy.

        Just because that picture looks “strong” doesn’t mean he’ll be remembered that way.

          Well, we can hope, but unless we federally standardize a curriculum… Let’s just say some states differ on what they teach the Civil War was about.

        Yeah, but, like, he didn’t do anything for such a legacy, he happened into his own Triumph of the Will moment by a coincidence of so much mistakes. There’s though no wonder why he’s seen as a messiah by his cultists and he sees it as a personal gift from the god, the recognition he didn’t have in his family as per biographies.

        It’s already been wrapped around a cyber truck. It can’t get any more important than that.

      Yeah, who knows what’s going on in that head of his. In a moment when most people would be in momentary shock unable to process what just happened quickly enough, Trump knew immediately that he needed his shoes. Then stood triumphantly with blood running down his face and a dead body behind him.

      Edit: when the transcript of the secret service communications was released i was shocked that Trump would be so concerned about his shoes. I immediately assumed, set up, he’s trying to move on to the next part of the act in full costume.

      Now after posting this and thinking about it more, I can see someone, in that moment, being disoriented, noticing they’re bare footed, and focus on that. I still know that Trump is a pos.
