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.

    He has to go on stages and still doesnā€™t know why the protection detail was so lacking in ā€¦ 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 someoneā€™s mind.

      He got shot bc he couldnā€™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: donā€™t work with Trump.
        Rule number two: get the money upfront.

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