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.

      He has to go on stages and still doesn’t know why the protection detail was so lacking in … execution.

      He has no reason to think they will be up to the challenge if another attempt is made.

      I could see that messing up someone’s mind.

        He got shot bc he couldn’t get indoor venues to rent to him due to his long history of not paying his bills. Karma finally almost came calling.

          Rule number one: don’t work with Trump.
          Rule number two: get the money upfront.

          Outdoor venues cost money too. I think it’s because his supporters are more rural and more likely to attend a rally at a fairground than an auditorium in an urban setting

      This will change nothing. This is quite possibly the most narcissistic human in at least a century, the only thing PTSD would do is make his behavior worse and more erratic.
