Donald Trump, the former president who is seeking another term in the White House, may have his ear back in good shape (at least on the surface) after a failed assassination attempt, but he may not be the same again.
According to local time on August 16, Trump may suffer from "post-traumatic stress disorder", a serious stress disorder. According to Vanity Fair magazine, a Republican source close to the campaign team said: "He has been watching the seven-second video repeatedly, in which he was almost shot in the head. He may really suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder."
Trump's close advisers are concerned that this could lead to his own career being destroyed.
According to the National Institutes of Health, common features of post-traumatic stress disorder include "reliving traumatic events," "cognitive and emotional symptoms," and "feeling irritable and having angry or aggressive outbursts." In other words, the performance of Trump, 78, is consistent with the characteristics of post-traumatic stress disorder.
But the problem is that he seems unlikely to seek professional help. "In his generation, seeing a psychiatrist is a sign of weakness and lack of strength." But if professionals are not involved, Trump may get into trouble, which will in turn affect his campaign.
Many people have found that Trump has aged a little too fast since the assassination, and although he still appears in campaign events with great vigor, his voice and the way he speaks can be confusing from time to time. For example, when he was talking to Elon Musk, his voice was very slurred, although this can be explained by the distortion caused by the Internet phone.
In addition, Trump also seemed quite out of control in the process of fighting Kamala Harris. He could have criticized Harris on the economy, borders, foreign policy, and even Israel, but he chose to attack Harris as a person, first saying that she said she was African American for the sake of the campaign, and then mocking her laughter as "like a crazy person"...
Although Trump claims he has the right to say this, many people see it as a state of "mental breakdown."
Harris, on the other hand, is refining her policies. She talked about plans to build an "opportunity economy," calling for federal regulation of grocery store pricing, thousands of dollars in child tax credits for low- and middle-income families, and $25,000 down payments for first-time homebuyers. She also promised to "forgive medical debt for millions of Americans."
How did Trump respond? He said Harris' plan was "more like manipulation." Maybe so, but it doesn't seem very convincing. After all, Harris' plan is more in line with people's ideas and "looks very attractive."
Some commentators pointed out that since Biden withdrew from the election, Trump has focused on his own anxiety, while Harris has begun to open up the situation and try to solve the anxiety of ordinary Americans. Regardless of whether it can be implemented, since it has been said, it is bound to attract many voters. If Trump still maintains his current state, it may be difficult for him to win. After all, Harris is not a replica of Hillary Clinton, and history will not be so consistent.
