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’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

      I have seen more evidence that it was a false flag than evidence supporting that he was shot in the ear.

    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.

      I hope it wakes him up in a cold sweat every night until the day his soul leaves his greasy orange carcass

    Maybe he’ll get access to a therapist once he’s in prison. Group therapy once a month, individual sessions once a year or so, that’s about how it goes for incarcerated folks I hear. It won’t be a lot of help, but then again, he doesn’t deserve any.

    That sucks, maybe he should take some time off and get his shit together? I think we’d all understand if he dropped out and thought about retirement.

    Don’t worry, he’s too much of a dumbass to go see a therapist about it. Instead he’ll just bottle it up so fester into a new mental illness to add to the pile.

    He just wants to figure out how to use it to his advantage, like everything else.

    I care about as much as he cares of all the people, especially kids, killed in mass shootings.

    Good. Some might pay good money to see him in a fetal position sobbing with his thumb in his lying mouth
