Those close to Donald Trump fear the former president “may have legit PTSD” from the assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally last month. 

That’s according to a Vanity Fair report published Wednesday that claimed those in Trump’s inner circle have noticed that he’s become fixated on a seven-second clip that shows the moment he nearly lost his life. 

“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,” said a Republican close to the campaign, reported Vanity Fair.

Load him up on mushrooms before the debate. That should help with the PTSD.

Give him 8 grams of penis envy, I guarantee he'll go for it on the name alone

Instructions unclear.

Have reverted back to a state where the world is all The Flintstones and have identified "dabba dabba doo" as the universal tone that initiated the cosmos.

Nice lol, are they especially phallically shaped, or is it just a name?

I always heard being in a fearful state before doing hallucinogenics caused a bad trip?

I'm laughing tears. Thank you!

To shreds, you say?

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 15 points 3 months ago

Are you insinuating that the God Emperor is scared of a woman?!

Because you'd be correct.

He is absolutely terrified, will be completely screwed when that happens, and mushrooms would make it extremely entertaining for the rest of us. The VA is also conducting research into it.

I mean, wouldn’t that be something. He takes a heroic dose, comes out the other side with a soul and a conscience, quits the race and preaches the power of the mushroom to all his followers. Can you imagine all them having an inner dialogue and waking up from the fever dream? Almost brings a tear to my eye.

I wouldn't call it a bad trip, was great after I stopped thinking about what happened. That just took a while.

[-] hate2bme@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I ate 5 grams of mushrooms 2 weeks after I was shot. Was not a good idea.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
