Those close toĀ Donald Trump fear the former president ā€œmay have legit PTSDā€ from the assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally last month.

That’s according to aĀ Vanity FairĀ 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.

ā€œHe’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,ā€ said a Republican close to the campaign, reportedĀ Vanity Fair.

    Agreed 105%, plus it’s also just plain stupid. Nobody within half a mile of Trump’s inner circle has any real competence, so the idea that any/all of them could successfully pull off a faked assassination is probably more absurd than flat earthers telling us the moon landing was rigged.

      The only way I could buy it is if it came out that it was faked, but their plan involved keeping the gunman alive so he could spout fake-leftist buzzwords and they either didn’t realize that the secret service shoots to kill, or forgot to clue them into the plan ahead of time.
