Trump warns senior citizens they'll be sent to have their 'heads examined' if they don't vote for him
MINT HILL, NORTH CAROLINA: Former president Donald Trump has expanded his list of voters who, in his view, require a mental evaluation.
Addressing a crowd at a factory in Mint Hill, North Carolina, on Wednesday, September 25, Trump discussed trade and reaffirmed his commitment to imposing import tariffs.
He started with Jews, then moved to Catholics, and now senior citizens.

Donald Trump says senior citizens who don't vote for him need a psychiatrist
“Our seniors have been devastated by inflation,” Donald Trump said, before continuing, “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 used this rhetoric when addressing groups that are unlikely to support him. He has consistently stated that Jewish voters, who do not support him, should reconsider their stance.
Moreover, he has controversially suggested that Jewish voters would be responsible if he were to lose the November presidential election to Vice President Kamala Harris.
“I’m not going to call this as a prediction, but in my opinion, the Jewish people would have a lot to do with a loss,” he said while addressing a group of conservative Jewish voters last week.
On Monday, September 23, Trump criticized Catholic Democrats, saying, “Any Catholic that votes for Comrade Kamala Harris should have their head examined.”
In his Wednesday speech, Trump conceded defeat in the 2020 election, although he has previously acknowledged this only to reaffirm his unfounded claim that the election was rigged against him.
Donald Trump blasted for his remarks about senior citizens who don't vote for him
As soon as video of Donald Trump's remarks about senior citizens who don't vote for him surfaced on social media, people on the internet brutally blasted the former president.
One senior citizen commented, "I’m a senior. There’s no way in hell I’m voting for a stuck on stupid clown who says he’s “reforming” my Social Security, Medicare and health care. No way."
