I hate the orange fucker but it sounds like he has PTSD. I have combat PTSD and see dangers where there aren’t any. Sometimes your brain just wants you to leave the area.
Yeah, he should retire and have that looked at. Poor guy, he needs some rest. At his age....
Don’t you think he looks a bit tired?
Don't you think he looks a bit weird?
Why not both?
"tiweird"?
This is perfect, because it sounds like the toddler that he is.
How does Mrs Crawley know Dr Who? Did Dr Who visit Downton Abbey during one of his adventures?
What do you mean? That's just Mrs. Crawley with Mr. Crowley, the strange man who is friends with the bookshop owner. Weird seeing him without his sunglasses though.
He was Mr. Crawley until he changed his name.
i wasnt prepared for this.
You know, he just might.
I have PTSD from his presidency
Post Trump Stress Disorder.
straight fax
Trump's policies resulted in thousands of veterans with PTSD being denied treatment by the VA on account of lack of funding. If anyone deserves to suffer from it, he does.
I hate the orange shitbag and have no sympathy if he is suffering. I genuinely want good things for all people. But he wants bad things for many people and so my wishes for good things don’t extend to him, his ilk, etc.
Good. Don't be blinded by the tolerance of intolerance.
Oppose at all points.
The moral high road is filled with corpses.
Sounds like SS told him that. He said security doesn’t want us here.
Isn’t the accepted abbreviation USSS to avoid the association with the Schutzstaffel?
For now
He’s an old man, I thought it was “Social Security”.
He's a fascist, I would have believed if he meant Schutzstaffel.
Did someone come up and whisper in his ear? Was he wearing an earpiece? If he knew ahead of time that "security [didn't] want [him] there," security wouldn't have let him be there in the first place.
He may have dined with RFK Jr.
It sounds like he didn't like the questions being asked and this is his new way of ending an interview.
While I'm not a fan of tfg, and I don't know whether he's lying or telling the truth, there's legitimate reason to take his comment seriously. We may not like him, but the SS has a job to do.
It could be all of the above. It is hard to say with Trump. I agree the SS has a job to do and after their last screw up, they are being overly cautious
Do you think someone suffering from PTSD will be able to fulfill their duties as President?
Active PTSD without treatment? Absolutely not. Maybe with some really good therapy but can you imagine that turnip taking advice from a therapist? Hah!

From 2017 to 2021 the duties seemed to consist of golfing and watching TV. Spending a lot of time on the toilet and needing to give it dozens of flushes.
It's starting to sound more and more like he does. It would be completely understandable given what happened.
Also I'm sorry for what you went through, and I hope it gets better. My wife is infantry and I hope to God she never has to see combat.
Yeah, but in this case, there was an apparent evolving credible threat on his life and his security detail probably told him to keep the interview brief and then move.
I imagine his (new) secret service detail is a little jumpy after that whole incident in Pennsylvania.
Watch the video in the other link. He was just talking and trying to get out of the conversation.
No it doesn’t. He was calm and collected and posturing.
I have been completely calm on the outside yet freaking out on the inside and made excuses to leave so that really isn't a tell for PTSD or not. I haven't watched video of the event and I'm not saying the shitbag wouldn't use it as an excuse to get out of hard questions, I'm just saying with my personal experiences being shot at that giving excuses to get out of what you think is a dangerous situation (but really isn't) is a classic sign of PTSD.
Thank you for sharing. I walk away knowing better.
This exactly. It’s the subtle stuff that tells me he’s probably dealing with some high anxiety. If you’ve been through some intense trauma, and are in a triggering environment, you’re probably still trying to keep a game face on.
Those of us who have been shot at usually don’t start flailing around like a car lot tube man when we’re feeling insure. People usually have their game face on when they’re worrying behind the façade.
