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.

    Watching a clip of a firefighter getting murdered over and over again.

    Dude is more worried about the shrapnel cut to his ear.

        I agree It would…

        Reality is more like… Someone else died.

        Crowd went nuts. Ear hurt.

        Secret service rushes you off stage.

        Secret service tells you what happened.


        Never actually experienced an actual threat.

        Was not presented with fight or flight.

        He just… basically heard about it and walked away with a cut.

          I mean, he was present, fully. He recognized the moment and his positional within it to create one of the most iconic presidential images of all time.

          So I dont know if I really agree with your framing.
