Trump watches himself get shot ‘over and over’ and campaign staff fear he has PTSD: report (www.independent.co.uk)

submitted 2 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Donald Trump has watched a video clip of the attempt on his life at a Pennsylvania rally “over and over again,” leading to fears that he may be suffering from PTSD, according to a report.

The former president has viewed the “seven-second” clip, in which his right ear was grazed with a bullet, multiple times – an act which has not helped a reported mental spiral brought on by Joe Biden’s decision to drop out of the 2024 race.

Drake and Kendrick were friendly - ish - around 10 years ago but they've been souring since then.

Drake and J Cole recently collaborated on a song, First Person Shooter.

Kendrick Lamar threw the first recent punch with a line on Like That that specifically calls out Drake and J Cole about that song.

J Cole released a diss track in response, 7 Minute Drill, went to bed, woke up, and then decided he didn't want the smoke and removed himself from the situation and removed the song from streaming services. Drake took the bait and released Pushups and Taylor Made Freestyle (which he's being sued for for other reasons).

I'm just gonna quote the wiki article for the next part:

In response, Lamar released "Euphoria" on April 30 and "6:16 in LA" on May 3. Drake responded with "Family Matters" later that day, accusing Lamar of being a domestic abuser and alleging that one of Lamar's children was fathered by Dave Free. Roughly twenty minutes later, Lamar released "Meet the Grahams", accusing Drake of sex trafficking, being a sexual predator, and fathering another secret child. Lamar then released "Not Like Us" the following day, further accusing Drake of pedophilia and disrespecting the rap scene. On May 5, Drake responded with "The Heart Part 6", denying Lamar's accusations and claiming that his team gave Lamar false information about the secret child. A music video for "Not Like Us" was later released on July 4.

After seeing what Kendrick did to Drake, it is popularly believed that J Cole made the correct move. J Cole managed to neatly sidestep this entire beef and let Kendrick hit Drake with a biblical level smackdown.

Thank you! Especially appreciate the commentary below the wiki article - otherwise I'm not sure I would know who's "winning" or "losing" in that mess.

Even if no one wins, sounds like he won by not playing.

That's the general consensus, yeah. Kendrick wins the actual beef but J Cole wins the most out of all three of them by just not being present.
