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.

      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.

        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.

            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.
