Those close toĀ Donald Trump fear the former president ā€œmay have legit PTSDā€ from the assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally last month.

Thatā€™s according to aĀ Vanity FairĀ report published Wednesday that claimed those in Trumpā€™s inner circle have noticed that heā€™s become fixated on a seven-second clip that shows the moment he nearly lost his life.

ā€œHeā€™s been watching that seven-second clip of how close he was to getting shot right in the headā€”over and over and over again,ā€ said a Republican close to the campaign, reportedĀ Vanity Fair.

    i keep imply an existential crisis about the limits of knowledge, because we pretty-much know, and thatā€™s the only good-faith assumption I can think of that explains the uncertainty here.

      How do we pretty much know? What more information do you have? You hope, and thatā€™s it. You have faith, which isnā€™t useful.

      Also, this isnā€™t existential. It happened for sure, and the reasons exist. We may never know them though, but that isnā€™t an existential crisis. If youā€™re going to use terms like that, at least learn what they mean.

        I said all this.

        and I ask again: are you currently having an existential crisis about the limits of knowledge and the fundamental contradictions of knowledge? are you courting chapel perilous? are you balancing on the knifes edge of zen and madness? because thatā€™s the only way I can explain this level of skepticism.
