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.

He's got the best PTSD. Lots of people are saying it.

He has spoken to many many smart people, experts, they are called. At least that is what he calls them. They know a lot of PTSD, he knows all about PTSD, those ex-perts know more. They asked him, how does he have such good PTSD. He told them, he didn't know, he just does. They are shocked at how good his PTSD is. Remarkable, they call it. Sleepy Joe Bi-den doesn't even have PTSD. He couldn't, and if he did, Lord God King President Donald J Trump knows it would be poor. And his diversity hire? Not even worth mentioning. What a loser.

Mental illness isn't something I really find funny joking about, even with Trump. It's not a good look.

I consider that less making fun of people suffering PTSD and more making fun of that idiot's narcissistic need for embellishment and to be seen as the best despite all evidence to the contrary.
