Trump watches himself get shot ‘over and over’ and campaign staff fear he has PTSD: report

www.independent.co.uk Trump watches himself get shot ‘over and over’ and staff fear he has PTSD: report

The former president has viewed the seven-second clip, in which his right ear was grazed with a bullet, multiple times, according to a Republican source close to his campaign

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.

shot at
- Agreed. That bullet never touched him. The real victim's blood spatter is what we saw on his cheek. The man who was actually shot was just feet behind Trump, within range of that small spatter from a high velocity projectile.
  
  Guys... the picture is right there.
  
  If it was splatter from the man in the crowd, there would have been a wider distribution of smaller globules.
  
  I've seen enough pink mist on the internet, man...
  
  I think he was absolutely grazed by the bullet, but it is still hilarious to me that the FBI put out a whole statement saying they won't confirm it was a real hit. I think the dude is absolutely headstrong enough to keep campaigning after something like that. It can't have had no effect at all.
  
  Someone on lemmy said that it was probably the shockwave from the bullet rather than the bullet itself which hit him. Pretty sure I also saw something about an FBI statement which seemed to later corroborate that. Ultimately, its not super important. He was shot at, lightly injured, and now he's spiraling for one reason or another
  
  look at the pics!! that is not a 223 bullet wound.
  
  funny how this left the top of the news so fast. almost suspiciously fast like they didn't want us to think too hard about it
  
  They might have done that to prevent copycats. If they talked about it non-stop people would think it's a way to gain infamy. It's the same reason coverage of mass shootings doesn't focus on the killer's name anymore.
  
  Finally a good reasoning, that does make sense.
  
  So you are saying we should keep talking about it? 😂
