I hate the orange fucker but it sounds like he has PTSD. I have combat PTSD and see dangers where there aren’t any. Sometimes your brain just wants you to leave the area.

Yeah, he should retire and have that looked at. Poor guy, he needs some rest. At his age....
Don’t you think he looks a bit tired?
How does Mrs Crawley know Dr Who? Did Dr Who visit Downton Abbey during one of his adventures?
What do you mean? That's just Mrs. Crawley with Mr. Crowley, the strange man who is friends with the bookshop owner. Weird seeing him without his sunglasses though.
He was Mr. Crawley until he changed his name.
i wasnt prepared for this.

Trump's policies resulted in thousands of veterans with PTSD being denied treatment by the VA on account of lack of funding. If anyone deserves to suffer from it, he does.
I hate the orange shitbag and have no sympathy if he is suffering. I genuinely want good things for all people. But he wants bad things for many people and so my wishes for good things don’t extend to him, his ilk, etc.
Good. Don't be blinded by the tolerance of intolerance.
Oppose at all points.
The moral high road is filled with corpses.
Do you think someone suffering from PTSD will be able to fulfill their duties as President?
Active PTSD without treatment? Absolutely not. Maybe with some really good therapy but can you imagine that turnip taking advice from a therapist? Hah!

It's starting to sound more and more like he does. It would be completely understandable given what happened.
Also I'm sorry for what you went through, and I hope it gets better. My wife is infantry and I hope to God she never has to see combat.

Trump: I look so weak when I run away from interviews. If only there was a way to ditch an interview AND remind people of the assassination attempt.
It's hilarious that's his best strategy.
Having your head on a swivel after being shot at is normal. But you know what’s also unfortunately normal? Being shot at in the US.
A normal person would, after being shot at, consider pushing for responsible gun ownership legislation. He could help prevent what happened to him and hundreds of thousands of other Americans.
It’s so much cooler and more presidential to stand in a glass box and talk about how safe guns are for everyone though
“The second amendment people know that the radical left want to take your gu…”

I've always felt like Trump uses "we" more like the "royal we" as in he's a monarch, whereas other public figures use "we" to include society.
Yeah, also when ever he said ''a lot of people don't know this'' he means ''I just learned this a few days ago'' and ''a lot of people are saying'' means ''This is just my opinion''. On the bizarre side of things, ''bigly'' is actually a real word in the English language and he would be using it grammatically correct most times he says it IF that was what he's actually saying, but he not, he's trying to say ''big leauge'' and is almost always using it incorrectly.
That website has cancer.
I'm old enough to remember when Newsweek was credible and respected. I understand the Magazine business model is brutal, but these days you're more likely to run into someone who's owned Newsweek than someone who subscribes to it.
August 3, 2013.
It's been a while since any formerly credible news source was free of foreign ownership.
All "news" media in the US has been entertainment and propaganda businesses wearing the logo and skin of dead journalism outlets since then.
Only took a few years to get Trump installed as president. I'd say that's amazingly effective

Look at that scared little face.
Honestly, I'm glad the USSS seems to be taking security more seriously since the assassination attempt no matter who they're protecting! It won't always be Trump...
I agree that tightened security across the board is smart. But I'm a little skeptical that the set of a tv show was actually all that dangerous and that he was actually told what he claims.
The Cochise County Sheriff's Office told Fox News that Syvrud is accused of making threatening posts on social media targeting Trump.
Oh is that illegal now? I bet there's a bunch of poll workers who would be interested to have such support from law enforcement.

Ahead of Trump's speech in Arizona, authorities announced that they apprehended 66-year-old Ronald Lee Syvrud. The Cochise County Sheriff's Office told Fox News that Syvrud is accused of making threatening posts on social media targeting Trump. He was arrested without incident, according to Fox News, and had outstanding warrants in Wisconsin regarding a DUI and from Graham County, Arizona, involving hit-and-run and felony failure to register as a sex offender.
Why am I not surprised.
