    That would be the most normal human behaviour we’ve seen from him in nearly 10 years

  2. Well he seems like he’d take mental health seriously and talk to a counselor or something instead of pretending to be a tough guy, right?

    /s

  3. Why should I show empathy for a human being who has not displayed any lol.

    Treat others how you want to be treated

  4. Bullshit. He watches it over and over thinking “fuck, I’m cool” and fantasizing about how he moved out of the way thanks to his superhuman abilities. $10 says he pauses it on the frames where he’s raising his fist and then calls nearby unfortunates into the room to agree with him about how badass he looked.

  5. Look, I don’t know Trump personally and I’ll freely admit that it’s problematic to try and diagnose someone through a computer screen. But I’d bet almost anything that he’s watching it over and over so he can revel in it. That was the one moment where, at least from a shallow glance, he was exactly the big strong hero that he has always insisted he was, and ghoulishly it was also the last time anything went his way. That was his peak, but instead of paving his way to the White House he’s tumbled ass over tea kettle into failure after abject failure.

  6. Nah, just narcisim.

    And let’s stick to the facts, some.poeple got shot at that event, and trump was not one of them.

  7. Send him back to Moscow I am sure he will feel safe there surrounded by his own kind

    Imagine if he got trigged while on the job. Can he be trusted with nuclear weapons if he’s mentally unstable?

  9. I’m just impressed at how a bullet injury healed 100% not even two weeks later.

    What I find concerning is that he called the site of injury “the lobe”. Does this genius, among the smartest people this country has ever produced, not know what part of the ear is “the lobe”?

    Now he knows how school children feel because of him and his parties shitty policies.

  11. Jan 6 officers died from PTSD and he didn’t even fucking call their families.

    I’m sure it never occurred to him.

    >staff fear he has PTSD

    Just add it to the very long list of mental health issues of which Trump suffers which apparently doesn’t cause fear among his staff.

    A last ditch attempt to humanize someone wholly undeserving of anyone’s empathy.

    He can seek therapy in prison.

    PTSD? More like narcissistic collapse to add to a litany of other mental and physical health problems. The humane thing to do would be to put him out to pasture or at least put him in a padded cell.

    Does he have PTSD from being shot at, or is he angry that no one seems to care and people have moved on?

    I don’t think he’s actually going to bow out of the race, he needs to win to stay out of prison, but it does feel like they’re trying to seed the idea.

  17. I’m convinced this is why he hasn’t been campaigning as much. He can’t actually admit he’s shook.

  18. PTSD requires at least *SIX* months post event to be considered a diagnosis.

    He’s just a narcissist watching himself over and over.

  19. I call bullshit. He is watching himself hoist his fist afterward to feed his bottomless narcissistic hole.

    I am 99% sure these campaign dicks are floating this in a pathetic attempt to garner sympathy and explain away behavior that Trump has engaged in since… forever?

  20. He should go see a therapist, like Jeffrey Epstein The Rapist, Prince Andrew The Rapist or Donald Trump The Rapist
