Donald Trump has been watching the video of the shooting at his Pennsylvania rally that left a firefighter dead and an invisible wound on his ear “over and over again,” according to an insider.

An unnamed Republican close to the former president’s campaign told Vanity Fair last week that Trump has “been watching that seven-second clip of how close he was to getting shot right in the head — over and over and over again. He may actually legit have PTSD.”

If he does, I’m guessing it’s something more along the lines of “Perfect Trump Shooting Distraction.”

However experts told another outlet, The Independent, that it wasn’t necessarily PTSD driving Trump to view the clip on repeat. It’s more likely narcissism, they said. Dr. Seth Norrholm, a PTSD specialist, said “If he is going back and watching this – and this is my opinion – he’s not watching this in the vein of PTSD, he’s watching this in a vein of ‘look at this event that happened to me, I took a bullet for democracy.”

There are competing definitions of narcissism, but rest assured, Trump fits all of them. Conceit, lack of remorse, sociopathy, it’s all there.

But Norrholm doesn’t see PTSD at all, and he explained it by way of Trump’s reaction after the shooting, which was not indicative of how someone might normally act in such a case.

“What’s a little different in this situation is you’re talking about someone with an extreme level of narcissism,” he says. “What we saw from Trump was the reaction to fist bump to the crowd, to state ‘fight’ three times and that’s a little bizarre. It is possible that in those few seconds when he realized he had survived, maybe he had this rush of adrenaline … it comes into his mind that he’s going to do something about this…to make it a story, to get those photo opportunities.”

That explains the reaction, but why watch it over and over? Well, some might say to congratulate himself on a story well told. I have one more theory.

Trump could be watching it to see which part of the scene has people wondering if it was real. Was he shocked enough to be believable? Did he really SELL the ear wound?

Another psychologist, Laurie Kramer, would speak specifically about Trump on ethical grounds — she’s never evaluated him — but she said that some PTSD victims do keep going over their trauma in their head. It’s probably too soon to diagnose Trump with PTSD, but it might be normal behavior if he does have it.

On the other hand, Kramer says, “Most people who have experienced a traumatic event don’t keep talking about it in order to get sympathy and support from others – rather they are actively trying to cope with the stress they’ve experienced.”

If Trump DOES have PTSD, he sure has a weird way of showing it. And if he actually did get diagnosed with that, you can be sure he’d never let anyone know. People with PTSD aren’t perfect, after all, and he is.

In his mind.
