Is he afraid to get in front of a rally now?
I can imagine any noises he hears while shooting his mouth off makes him want to duck under the podium.
Is this why he's cut down his campaign rallies?
He might have come to the reslization that he's not well liked,

(51,042 posts)posts on Truth Social and have reviewed his ravings at the Atlanta rally, and therefore, have pulled him off the rally circuit. They don't want his cray-cray to be recorded and used against him by the Harris/Walz campaign.

if his minders can keep him isolated and only allow him out in public when the crowd is MAGA friendly then they can limit Trump's verbal vomit...

(10,295 posts)I came to over the past couple weeks. Trump is now all-unhinged all the time when he speaks publicly from what I can see. Both the "Kamala didn't used to be black" and the "Kamala hates Jews" nonsense are hard to paper over. Although, I'm not sure his base cares one iota. Plus, the contrast between Trump and Harris/Walz is pretty glaring if you think our President should be sane.
Think. Again.

"We just looked at each other and started shooting. You wouldn't trust anyone dressed like them, would you?" said an attendee as he waited for surgery. Victims are being triaged by wound severity and amount of Trump gear they were wearing. More later as this story develops."

(3,767 posts)Pissed at him for the bump stock ban. Or saying he was for enhanced back ground checks. Some of them still hold a grudge. I know someone who is still pissed off at him for that. He’s a Rand Paul supporter now. He said tfg was too wishy washy on gun rights. Yes, I talk to some of the crazies. Can’t get away from family. I try to avoid but it doesn’t work all the time.
I wonder if Crooks was in that group?

He would certainly make fun of others.

(28,835 posts)PTSD can be debilitating and shouldn't be taken lightly.
As for Trump's case, we shouldn't use his behavior as the basis for our own. There are myriad other things to ridicule him about.

I suspect that Trump was the target of a lot of bullying in his schoolyard years. If he weren't such a destructive menace I'd feel sorry for him.

....any NORMAL person would have some kind of lingering reaction to such an event but trumps personality disorder may prevent him from feeling anything but rage and retribution or whatever twisted motion flows thru his pea brain.

(171,961 posts)I think he's afraid of rallies, if he is, because his audience is shrinking-not a good look, and one he can't manipulate much.
Edit to add: he doesn't need any excuses from us-he's got that covered. When lying is a way of life, he has all excuses at his fingertips.
GoCubsGo
(33,695 posts)He was only doing around one per week before that all happened, and is actually doing them more frequently now. The main problem has been finding places that will host him. He was stuck with outdoor venues, because no indoor facilities wanted to get stiffed by him. It's more his reputation for not paying his vendors than anything.

(22,675 posts)Harris is in Detroit today after Philly yesterday, that's what a campaign is the last 90 days, campaiogning every day, sometimes multiple stops a day.
What people don't rememberis that Trump was largely using his presidency to campaign in 2020. He even used the White House for the convention. And he turned his rallies back then into mask free zones of "freedumb" so his followers could die too.
He's been doing 1 a week, but that was expected to pick up by now, and maybe it will soon, but I think that his campaign is regrouping and trying to figure out a line of attack that will work as they are falling behind in the polls.

(7,181 posts)THAT SUITS ME JUST PEACHY KEEN SUPER FINE as he will be seen as COWARDLY CREEPY UGLY NASTY TRUMP!
What awaits for his useless rotting arse, once all the guilty verdicts are read and he winds up dying behind bars in less than 5 years if my guess the sickos death date O meter is still operational?
We prefer a 24/7 cam of his cell available to all, with sound given to accounts for a $100 donation to Planned Parenthood

(23,423 posts)Trump is an old man. He’s grossly over-weight. He has a terribly unhealthy diet. He doesn’t exercise. From the hours he tweets, he doesn’t sleep well.
Trump is an obese old man who is lazy. That’s all.

(1,532 posts)cognitive ability, physical well-being, etc. Since he possesses none of these, IMHO he is incapable of having PTSD. Just sayin'!
The Magistrate
(96,043 posts)He may be scared shitless, but a one-off doesn't qualify. And besides, this weird old creep's got such a disordered mind, there ain't room in it for a new one.

(1,213 posts)Everything I've read about narcissists so extreme is that they don't react to things like that the way the rest of us do. If they're pulled over by the cops, they don't panic like us. They're calm and turn on the charm. They could have that white girl who got kidnapped recently in their trunk, and they still won't panic. Cool as can be. So cool and calm and charming that the cop lets them go.
So, no, I suspect PTSD won't happen to him.
