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.
As a person he presents as such a terrible person.
But as a human being, I feel for him and don’t think anyone - even the worst of us - deserves PTSD.
Mr Trump deserves a long life in a very thick-walled cell, and needs to think on the terrible things he’s done and how it affects others. This isn’t possible if he’s dead.
He isn’t capable of self reflection or remorse. He’s a sociopathic narcissist. I do hope he ends up in prison long enough to suffer the humiliation and degradation he so richly deserves while he witnesses the world slowly forget all about him
Not endorsing violence, but I don’t think he deserves a long life. He’s done plenty of harm, and him thinking about it doesn’t help anything. It only allows him to continue to be a threat. However, I think an assassination would be the worst possible outcome. It’d give power to all of those using him. Power that they don’t have as long as he’s alive. He’d become a symbol, and all the horrible things he’s done would be forgotten. He’s better alive and losing the election and all credibility and support.
Well, the violence came from his side. That’s how they roll. Expect more of it. They can’t stop. Be prepared.
They don’t see it that way. This is another “black helicopter” thing where they just assume it’s part of the CommieLib-MkUltra-Deepstate and that every piece of evidence that runs contrary to that narrative is so obviously manufactured by Nancy Pelosi using a 3D printed, Jewish-space-neuralizer organized by AOC to delete her feet pictures off the internet.
It’s clearly just aconspiracy to ruin the lives of the UberMerican loud minority of manly lifted truck driving estranged fathers wearing Izod Sport jackets with iron-on bald eagles and American flags.
If he were a real Republican® Christian© American™, he wouldn’t have done a violence, but if he had, his aim would have been true, and and he would have gotten away.
If you’re talking about the assassination attempt, I don’t think we know which side the shooter was on. We only have remarks from classmates saying he was conservative and that his house (owned by his parents) had Trump signs. We also have a donation to progressives and a Google search for both Trump and Biden events. That’s everything I’ve heard I think. It doesn’t paint a particularly clear message. It seemed more like someone trying to leave a mark in history with his suicide (who will only be remembered as the kid who missed, and also didn’t get into the shooting club because he was a dangerously bad shot), not a politically motivated assassin.
The attack on the capital, yeah for sure, and yeah we’ll certainly see more of that.
the shooter was a right winger. we know this. it was not ideologically motivated, dude just wanted to do something ‘important’, and his right wing beliefs led him to believe shooting someone, which he was insecure about, was what he should do.
You can say we know it all you want. We really don’t. We can make assumptions, and we can hope for things that make us feel more secure in our beliefs, but it doesn’t actually create proof. What proof is there that I didn’t list that you must have? Saying “we know this” doesn’t make me any more confident. You must know more, right?
his social media accounts.
journalists have talked to people who knew him. he was like a center right dude, in the way stupid teens sometimes are.
the whole reason he decided to do this is because he got laughed off the school’s rifle team for being bad, and was so upset about it he decided to try to kill an ‘important’ person to prove it to them.
I think he said why? IDR the medium. I don’t super care. look it up.
why are you saying we don’t know? are you just now stumbling into the fundamental limits of knowledge and epistemological uncertainty and having an existential crisis and getting an urge to build a time machine so you can go back to when kurt godel was alive so you can MURDER HIM and never have to think about this again? are you okay? do you need a hug and an ice cream koan? can I help? not with the time machine; kurt godel is one of like three mathmeticians whose work I actually like,but, you know, with your feels?
I addressed everything you said, except for 4 which I don’t think exists as far as I’m aware. As for the rifle team thing, there are plenty of leftists who like to shoot guns. For example, I do.
Why I’m saying we don’t know is because the top comment made a claim that we do know. Why did it say that? Isn’t that the issue if someone is making a claim without it being backed up by evidence? I like that you’re making an attack on me as if I’m being emotional. I promise you I’m not. I just don’t appreciate people spreading false information. It can only work to undermine us if we make a false claim and it’s proven false in the future. Let’s just stick to what we know. We’re on the right side. We don’t need lies.
plenty of people like to shoot guns. lefties, however, do not get butthurt because its a core part of our identities so when someone says ‘you’re so bad at shooting we dont even trust you to point that thing in the right ~120 degree arc to not risk shooting at us, go away’.
you addressed everything I said. so… what IS up with you? lets go back to point 5. feels like that’s more what this is about.
No, he doesn’t.
