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.
PTSD is serious and difficult to live with and I feel sorry for anyone who has it. Not really something to joke about.
I would be freaked out too if I almost got assassinated. He is a human being.
I don’t want him to be president. But that doesn’t change my basic humanity for the victim of a crime.
I have PTSD. I have zero sympathy for him. I hope he suffers even more than me.
Well, you can have PTSD and be a dick, both are possible.
I just don’t believe in well-wishing to actively malicious literal Nazi fucks. Guess that’s radical.
Some people never get a chance to learn and grow into anything better. There are literal white supremacists who reformed and some fight for anti-racism now. People should be given a chance to become more than their bad decisions, if they show they’re actively trying to better themselves.
Cool. Is Trump doing that?
If not, I stand by my statement. I hope he suffers.
Fair enough

What about Jenkins?
Don’t get me wrong, I think he should go straight to hell with his buddy Putin. I just think that wishing somebody PTSD is structurally similar to wishing somebody to experience sexual violence in prison, i.e. a vindictiveness that somehow belittles the struggles of PTSD.
What’s the difference between hell and PTSD on the malice scale?
Hell is not real and no innocent goes there. I guess if we knew for sure that it existed, and didn’t trust the administrators of hell to follow proper protocols, it would be similar? Like, you could say “don’t wish people hell, my aunt was innocently sent there and boiled for eternity!”. Though I’m willing to concede that hell, being an abstract concept beyond the arbitration of human morality, is a neat way to be malicious about bad people.
Buddy there is no hell. This man will get away with everything he’s done, and even if he’s put in a prison cell for the rest of his life, it will not be nearly long enough.
There is no magic justice that occurs after shitty people die. The rest of the world just has to live with the consequences of their awful actions.
Agreed.
Where is Trump’s basic humanity for all the people he’s hurt?

nah, no sympathy. most people with ptsd probably didn’t fuck around like there are no consequences for your actions. this fucker deserves every bad thing that is coming to him, including finding out that he is hated and people want him dead.
Are we absolutely sure about that human thing? Color me skeptical.
Agreed with what you said, but nah, fuck him.
I have real trouble with this. He seems to lack any kind of human qualities - no empathy, no wit or warmth.
If someone ripped his orange mask off, Scooby Doo style, and it revealed some kind of mindless racist/sexist slur and weak-insult spouting robot underneath, I think it would explain a lot.
We see his public facing persona. It says things that are more or less within the realm of normal for most of society.
I bet when he is with the wealthy follks the real Don comes out. Says things that rich and wealthy want to hear, akin to agenda 2025 but more focused on poors being confined while they still get to break laws.
Nah, fuck him. I’m just worried it’ll make him more erratic.
Donald Dump is an especially self absorbed human being so he almost surely freaked out even more than a normal person would.
