    ''making baseless claims about PTSD''

    oh, it's not baseless -- there's solid evidence of numbers who are shot and suffer from PTSD - and then, in Donald's case - there is very strong evidence of obvious and easily observed behavioural changes ------- only 2 rallies in 2 weeks, his look has changed, his demeanour is difficult to judge because it was so bad in the first place - but, he's way off script in his campaign and he certainly looks rattled

    Approximately 33% to 50% of people who survive being shot may suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A study highlighted that among those discharged from the hospital for seemingly minor injuries, 33% screened positive for PTSD. In a broader context, almost half of the surveyed shooting survivors screened positive for probable PTSD, indicating significant long-term mental health challenges among this group[1].
