Pity The Poor, Leftist Journalist Who Got PTSD From Looking At MAGA Followers

Recently, a leftist journalist, nearly sobbing, told Chuck Todd that he was diagnosed with PTSD following the Trump shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, because after the shooting he was forced to look at the shocked and angry faces of the Trump supporters. And of course Todd agreed with the evilness of Republicans and the poor, dear reporter’s trauma following the shooting and his fear that the Trump people would attack him.

But one thing that we’ve heard not a word about since the near-death of Trump, is the impact that that violent experience had on the victim, Donald Trump, rather than the fool sitting comfortably and safely in an air conditioned booth reporting on the event, and faced with the non-violent faces of Republicans, rather than the actual violence of the Butler shooter.

Along with his bellyaching, did the PTSD-diagnosed journalist give a thought to the response of this shooting on Trump? No. Has Trump sought sympathy or complained about his own and possibly very real PTSD? No. Trump took it like a patriot and doubled down on his drive for a second term as president.

Trump, unlike his Democrat opponents and detractors, is no crybaby, and came storming right back from that life-altering event more determined than ever to overcome the hateful, violence-prone fools in the Democrat party.

And aside from the assassination attempt, don’t downplay the psychic shock of multiple criminal and civil indictments that were thrust upon Trump in an attempt by Democrat officials to keep him out of the Oval Office a second time. And also don’t underrate the impact that the completely phony Russia, Russia, Russia charges of Hillary and FBI Director, James Comey, would have on a new president having just taken office and finding the entire Washington swamp and Deep State plotting against him. Then throw into the mix the threatening and incredible words of Chuck Schumer in September of 2019 when he warned Trump that the intel community has “six ways to Sunday to get back at you” if Trump didn’t shut up and let the Swamp run things in their usual, corrupt way.

Donald Trump is a marvelously strong man and he’s doing the right thing by shutting down the border and deporting all of Biden’s foreign criminals, supporting Israel against Hamas, bombing Iran, condemning men in women’s sports, shutting down trillion-dollar government give-away programs to foreign governments and NGOs, and investigating Hillary and Comey for their plots to destroy his first administration.

The cry-baby who claimed he got PTSD from Trump being shot is the usual, self-absorbed leftist who thinks everything revolves around him and is about him. But Trump is now president for the second time in spite of the violence toward him committed by Democrats, and the procedural roadblocks Democrats placed in his path as he ran for re-election, and maybe leftists can take his occupancy of the Oval Office as a sign of divine intervention indicating what is right and wrong with politics in America today.
