Well, they did try to kill the one person in the world that he cares about...
His new “personal Vietnam”
to be fair to him he kinda dodged this one too.
That's not PTSD. He's a narcissist and that was the last moment where he was the center of national attention and it looked like there was no way he could lose. Then Biden stepped down.
Legit kinda hilarious how an actual assassination attempt completely got drown out by "new competition lol"
I'm genuinely thrilled with just how little attention that got.
Just shows that empathy is reciprocative. He never showed empathy towards another human being, so now nobody feels it for him.
Too bad for him that he will refuse to see a therapist or psychiatrist because he thinks it's a sign of weakness.
I'd certainly be fucked up if it had happened to me.
It's so so sad that he's bound for a nervous breakdown and potentially Harris slamming her hand on the podium with the right force and angle could potentially be a trigger for it.
Not unprecedented. Even doing so intentionally isn’t new. Just look at Admiral James Stockdale in the 1992 election. Dude was a decorated Vietnam vet and former POW, but before a debate, someone thought it’d be a great idea to jingle some keys. Apparently, that was something his captors did to mess with him in Vietnam. Cue the PTSD flashback, and suddenly Stockdale’s looking disoriented on stage. So yeah, a well-placed podium slam? Could totally set off a meltdown.
He might get counseling from some evangelical pastor though, and come out of it even more terrible than he already is.
Well....would you have spent the last 8 years of your life spreading views of hate and racism?
Because I think thats what got him shot at.
There is zero fucking chance he's having an "am I the baddie?" Moment while watching this clip. He's probably thinking how bad ass his hair looks or something about manliness blah blah.
Trump is a one trick pony.
Or he's finally been confronted with his own mortality and its fucking with him in ways a life empty of any kind of introspection would.
Yeah I'm not giving him credit at all but there's definitely a very real undeniable difference between talking smack and being threatened and all that and actually getting shot at, hit (even if barely) and nearly killed. Trump is an ego inflated asshole, but the sight of your own blood, especially at his age when death is already a daily thought I'm sure, can seriously fuck you up mentally.
Load him up on mushrooms before the debate. That should help with the PTSD.
Give him 8 grams of penis envy, I guarantee he'll go for it on the name alone
I always heard being in a fearful state before doing hallucinogenics caused a bad trip?
May he spend the rest of his life in a degree of suffering to that which he caused.
Look, Donnie, PTSD sucks. Unlike your cult, those of us working against you do want you to seek treatment. Like legitimately. We want you to get better.
But also like fuck off while you're doing that.
Thaaanks.
Signed,
Everyone Else
That's not PTSD. That's a fixation, maybe an epiphany on his mortality. There's a whole range of symptoms he'd need to be displaying at least some of. Calling that PTSD is problematic on so many levels.
Is it PTSD or is he fixated on the last moment he thought he'd win before Biden dropped out and everything fell apart for him?
We all know what else in this vid. The cinematographic rise of Trump from under security agents with a fist. He is nutting over how great he is at that moment.
Watching a clip of a firefighter getting murdered over and over again.
Dude is more worried about the shrapnel cut to his ear.
If this was anyone but Trump, I'd probably feel bad for him.
However, since it's Donnie, all I can say is that I like Presidential candidates who don't get shot.
It was a lesson and he learned all the wrong things.
I hope it tears him up inside and he suffers as much as he's hurt others.
Add it to the list of dangerous qualities for the President of the United States to have. Cool stuff.
I care about as much as he cares of all the people, especially kids, killed in mass shootings.
Thoughts and prayers
In his shoes, I'd be traumatized by the huge percentage of people that are disappointed by the poor aim. I'm one of those people. Only good Nazi is a dead one.
Fuck his PTSD, how about what he inflicted on America.
Could it be the geriatric orange infant has never considered his own mortality?
I imagine most people would have some form of PTSD even being at the same event, never mind being the target.
Donnie should seriously seek mental help if he's not getting it already - unlike many Americans, he can afford it.
That sucks, maybe he should take some time off and get his shit together? I think we'd all understand if he dropped out and thought about retirement.
As a person he presents as such a terrible person.
But as a human being, I feel for him and don't think anyone - even the worst of us - deserves PTSD.
Mr Trump deserves a long life in a very thick-walled cell, and needs to think on the terrible things he's done and how it affects others. This isn't possible if he's dead.
He isn't capable of self reflection or remorse. He's a sociopathic narcissist. I do hope he ends up in prison long enough to suffer the humiliation and degradation he so richly deserves while he witnesses the world slowly forget all about him
This is a good opportunity to memorize the difference between empathy and sympathy, if you haven’t already.
Yeah I still can't get over how a couple of days later his right ear didn't have a mark on it. At his age, even with the best of plastic surgery, he wouldn't have clean skin on an ear for at least a week if he'd actually had a bullet pass through any part of it. I don't believe things he has to say about his health- he has a pretty solid track record when it comes to not telling the truth about his height, weight, bone spurs, being a stable genius, etc
Is he still crying about the ear thing? What a snowflake.
