Seems pretty certain that Trump is physically well right now. Wonder how he is psychologically. (Original Post) Girard442 Jul 2024 OP

with someone trying to kill then. Throw in dementia and I have no idea how that turns out but it sure as hell won’t be a plus.

Trump's paranoia, etc., make him particularly susceptible, but most people would be in varying levels of shock about now.

For a narcissist who needs to project an image of invincibility, such a close call that drew blood (if only a little), and caused the Secret Service to bundle him off the stage, would probably be especially disturbing. It will be interesting to see how he responds - I'm guessing with even more defensive bluster than ever, but I'm also guessing that he will be very afraid after this.

He's batshit crazy, narcissistic, a liar, and a complete raging megalomaniac.

So nothing's changed.
