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.

      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.
