Those close toĀ Donald Trump fear the former president ā€œmay have legit PTSDā€ from the assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally last month.

Thatā€™s according to aĀ Vanity FairĀ report published Wednesday that claimed those in Trumpā€™s inner circle have noticed that heā€™s become fixated on a seven-second clip that shows the moment he nearly lost his life.

ā€œHeā€™s been watching that seven-second clip of how close he was to getting shot right in the headā€”over and over and over again,ā€ said a Republican close to the campaign, reportedĀ Vanity Fair.

    Iā€™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 donā€™t have a whole lot of redhats in my every day activities, thankfully. But at one point, I thought theyā€™d all be slapping bumper stickers and other stupid regalia all over their possessions and their bodies and Iā€™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. Thatā€™s some grade-A parenting right there, egad.
