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.

      I agree It wouldā€¦

      Reality is more likeā€¦ 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 justā€¦ 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.
