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 not “something bad happened and now I have feelings”. It does not automatically happen after a major event. It’s a lot more complicated, and y’all are not psychiatrists. It’s insulting to throw the word around and use it for politics.

    Reminds me of people saying “omg 'm so OCD!” Because they like a clean house. That’s not what OCD is, and getting shot is not what PTSD is.
