Former President Donald Trump has now included another group of voters in his ongoing list of those who, in his view, should have their heads examined for supporting Vice President Kamala Harris.
Speaking in Mint Hill, North Carolina, Trump addressed supporters at a factory discussing trade and pledged to impose tariffs on imports. He also claimed that elderly voters who support Harris should be taken to a psychiatrist.
“Our seniors have been devastated by inflation,” Trump said. “We’re gonna have no tax on Social Security for our seniors. If any senior doesn’t vote for Trump, we’re gonna have to send you to a psychiatrist to have your head examined.”
Trump has previously made similar remarks about other voter demographics, including Jewish voters and Catholics who plan to support Harris in November. He notably expressed that Jewish voters would bear some responsibility if he lost the upcoming election.
Several critics shared clips from Trump’s speech on social media, arguing he is the one who should seek help. Comments included mockery about his mental health and criticisms of his policies regarding Social Security and Medicare.
“Oh yeah Donald. ALL the seniors of America are signing up for you to cut their Social Security and Medicare. YOU are the one who should have your head examined,” on user wrote on X.
Another commented: “When you know that your biggest problem is your mental health, you see everyone your age as a potential client for a psychiatrist. Trump thinks every senior is a senile weirdo like him.”
A third person mocked Trump by writing, “I’m not crazy! You’re crazy! You are ALL crazy! I’m the least crazy person ever!”
