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.

    An attempt on a president’s life is still gigantic news… Especially when the shooter was one of his own

      Its was a big mix of things:

      Biden dropped out the week after and dems kept getting their shit together in an astonishing and news worthy way.

      The shooter had no manifesto and wasn’t from the opposing side. Based on news, he just wanted to die trying to kill someone important, so it’s a sad thing not a mad thing that cacthes on hard.

      Trump’s been drumming up political violence for a decade so people weren’t that surprised some of it finally blew back on him. He also had a non-lethal and largely minor injury.

      We also have endless gun violence in our country so people are fatigued by it.

      Lastly, people are tired of his endless dysfunction. The media loves it, but people just aren’t suprised some new shitshow has occured in his orbit. His outrageous events aren’t sticking as hard anymore.
