Trump Watches Himself Get Shot 'over and over'

Thursday, August 15, 2024

"He's been watching that seven-second clip of how close he was to getting shot right in the head"over and over and over again," the Republican close to the campaign told Vanity Fair. "He may actually legit have PTSD."

This why he is hiding in Mar A Lardo instead of campaigning.

Also venues and cities requiring the deadbeat to prepay for the events is surely putting a damper in his enthusiasm.

Wonder how many Americans feel the same from Hair Furor's last occupancy of the White House.

PTSD? Only if it gets him pity points.

Trump watches this film clip over and over because it's drama and he's at the center of it.

The bloated orange pedo got PTSD from being spit-roasted by Putin and Lavrov.

I still have feelings of guilt that I could not be there that day to help defend America from Trumps Traitors.

I'm no expert on trajectory, but I imagine that if the end of the rifle was a hair more to the right, or if the wind was a bit more in the right direction.. Trump would have been ended by a bullet to the head. I would think, especially for an extreme sociopathic narcist, who values his own well being above and beyond anyone else.. and having the ability to watch it repeatedly over and over again, contemplating his own brush with death, would be something to obsess over. Oh well, here's to the possibility of Trump becoming a shut in.. perhaps he will find solace in being confined to a 6x8' cement cell, 7x24 surveillance and large metal fences to keep him safe.

re: #13...I know just the spot for him just outside Colorado Springs. Lovely location, although I imagine he probably won't see much of the scenery given the lengthy list of his peccadillos. And that's just federal charges. Should state AGs decide to pile on, our least-favorate orange game show host will spend the rest of his days bitching about cold courtrooms and objecting to the color of the judge's skin.

Holy cow, Zed, I think that's it.

I bet he loves watching his response too. "Did I look strong enough? Did I look like a warrior? Hell yes I did. Hell yes I did. I am strong. I'm the strongest man ever to hold the office of President. Look at what I've been through. But do people appreciate me? I know I draw the biggest crowds in the history of the world, but still I don't think people understand how truly great I am. Right? I am great, right?"

Yes indeed on most of these last posts. It's going to take alot to convince me it wasn't staged.

I'm still waiting for a satisfying answer to the twirling umbrella in the Zapruder film.

Satisfying in the Boaz fashion. The source tells me what I want to agree with.

An assassination attempt that was thwarted by an unanticipated movement at the last moment.

And on this site....i don't know how to characterize the overwhelming response. "Repugnant" comes to mind...

#21 | Posted by BellRinger at 2024-08-16 02:20 AM | Reply

Well, he does consider himself the most important person in the world so it's only natural that he'd get some gratification out of watching the Democrats try to assassinate him.(In his opinion)

I'm surprised he didn't show up at his North Carolina rally encased in a bulletproof bubble.

Or a planned, choreographed movement.

You're complaining that millions don't care whether Trump lives or dies.

Well, he built that. And you helped.

Trump, and MAGA as a whole, do not value or tell the truth.

That comes with consequences. I'm surprised that there haven't been many more conspiracy theories developed around this behavior.

Zed,

We have live video footage. Like Sitzkreig said- the conspiracy theories are embarrassing. A good man was killed and two more were critically injured.

Just stop with this nonsense.

For the record, I don't believe Trump engineered this shooting. While I would never give that schittgibbon the benefit of the doubt under any circumstances, I simply don't see sufficient proof that this was a setup. Not to mention how crazy risky it would be.

I also believe the Secret Service made grievous errors in failing to secure the perimeter. And finally, I believe we should condemn political violence in any form.

None of this changes the fact that Trump is a deranged narcissist. Nor does it change how disturbing it is that people on the right pretend that they either don't see it or that they do but don't think it should supersede all other concerns about choosing our head of state.

Drama queens gotta be drama queens.

Common sense all the way there. Some people take their partisanship so seriously they actually believe they are a bad democrat (in this instance) unless they believe the assassination attempt was staged.

Because.....Trump.

It's beyond folks like Zed, Donner, and Clown that it's possible to see Trump for who he is but remove that from the reality the assassination attempt wasn't staged.

Trump is still the POS he is despite the fact the attempt wasn't staged.

Could he possibly be a bigger POS?

That's why the assassination attempt was staged.

#32 | Posted by Zed at 2024-08-16 02:00 PM | Reply

Zed.....you poor thing. It must be absolute hell going through life this way.

Gaining a political advantage would the only reason to stage such an occurrence.

Trump didn't really get one. It was cute for a while with the bandage and everything but it got him nowhere.

If it were to be drawn up as a plan then the plan would include pinning this whole thing on a villain.

That shooter didn't provide the villain you need. You can't tie him back to anyone or anything that makes democrats look bad in any way.

So what would be the point?

The entire story is the SS was incompetent and sleeping on the job. That's it. That is no help to Trump at all.

Beyond this....I already explained how absurd your assertion this was staged is.

Stop embarrassing yourself.

Or don't........as I've said before......I love it.

Merely one of several reasons from Trump's point of view.

Convicted felon djt watches the video of the flesh wound over and over again. So far, as I understand it, the doctors and facility that actually treated the flying debris wound have NOT released any information. Policemen standing near cfdjt were struck by flying debris. Since there has been no official report by the treating physicians/facility, there is no reason to believe that cfdjt was hit by a bullet; more likely flying pieces of plastic and glass. He was lucky.

It explains why he isn't doing rallies as much especially when he should be hitting the circuit. Remember his major objection to the pandemic lockdown unable to stand in front of a crowd pontificating? It seems when he bragged about being able to shoot someone on 5th Ave no one would care... until a 20-year-old republicl0wn suggested it wasn't so.

That fat cl0wn is afraid of his mortality. His political machine is sort of like the "Winchester House" where he keeps building on it hoping it will keep him alive.

He's afraid very afraid.

That's because someone actually tried to assassinate Reagan.

Trump's televised spectacle was a publicity stun in hopes of garnering public support.

I will admit, that was a great photograph of Trump fist pumping.
