Donald Trump has watched a video clip of the attempt on his life at a Pennsylvania rally “over and over again,” leading to fears that he may be suffering from PTSD, according to a report.

The former president has viewed the “seven-second” clip, in which his right ear was grazed with a bullet, multiple times – an act which has not helped a reported mental spiral brought on by Joe Biden’s decision to drop out of the 2024 race.

    TBH, I would believe it.

    Someone pointed out that he has always had a paranoia about people harming him. For instance, preferring takeout to avoid poisoning. He has played a very dangerous game with very serious players as a property developer, and in the process has made a lot of enemies.

    So yeah, one of his greatest fears was realized. What other fears lurk just past the penumbra of the stage lights? What waits in the wings, should he lose the election? If only he could control things a bit more, maybe get Joe back in the race…

    At least he can control the remote, and maybe if he watches his assassination attempt again, he can control that too
